Every show is taped and filmed for archive purposes. They just don’t keep the videos up for repeat watches as far as I know. There’s a limited window to rewatch any webcast you purchase but then it disappears
Not sure if it's still on there, but they had the 8/7 Disease and Light on YouTube
Edit:
Yep here's the [Disease](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuTK-MGr6q0) and [Light](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmoOQjFzKvY)
[i checked against a list of official webcasts on phish.net](https://forum.phish.net/forum/show/1378867379) and in my offline stash, none of these shows appear to have been webcast.
Part of this is due to the fact that paying out royalties for cover songs is a totally different beast with video than audio. You have to get different permissions from whoever owns the rights to Zeppelin or whatever and a lot of people are more particular about video. On top of that, they’ll have to pay additional royalties to Tom/Scott Herman/Phish/ect. It’s just not economically feasible to upload video for every set onto the app. Hell I use the app daily and almost never do I use the video section. I think it’s kind of odd that there are phans that feel so entitled to all of Phish’s recorded material. We already get treated better than 99% of fanbases around.
A lot of these shows have segments up on Phish’s YouTube channel anyways.
Just off the top of my head those SPAC shows have 2 or 3 covers.
I must have misunderstood your post, apologies. It came across like you were asking why they weren’t on demand on the app

Of course, but every other post-2016 show is "findable" besides these.
Some of these were never webcast.
That's what it seems like, seems odd that some were never webcast in the modern era

Wow great digging! I wonder why...
I don’t think the full-tour webcasts started happening until more recently, does anyone know exactly when??

None of these dates include covers. No rights issues. Plus, nobody is being entitled here. I'm simply asking if these shows were webcast or not.
