Hello Matt, 
Are you talking about a DVD release of this material? Because Rainbow Quest has 
been
available for as long as I can remember on VHS. I first got a copy of a few 
shows from
a friend of mine here in Tokyo--and he mailordered it from a place in the 
States. That
was in the late 90's.
However if these are cleaned up prints on DVD--now that's noteworthy. There are 
bound
to be extras in there.
That show is notable too, because Seeger was considered quite politically left 
at the
time--and being on his show could be seen as cozying up to his anti-war 
sentiments.
Remember, he had just recently been put out of business by Tailgunner Joe--him 
and The
Weavers, ratted out as communists by Burle Ives. Hm!
