As Nige said, there's probably a sound check version in the archives which would still be superior to the versions we have on YouTube. Shame there's no studio version.

It is 100% feasible for them to release but not consistent with the mindset of BJ Incorporated. i.e. it doesn't make business sense. That many royalties for something that is of interest to diehards doesn't make sense when they could spend Obie's time on something which will sell better and incur zero royalties or licensing fees.
NJ deluxe edition is a great example. Marketable to casual fans and die-hards and almost entirely BJ material.
