You got a few songs on the TLFR DVD if you unlocked them when playing a game.
No, Hyde Park was not meant to be released on DVD. It's why the footage on the DVD is of such poor quality. Many fans kept asking for official footage so the band eventually released some songs. Watching that footage it's quite obvious why they wouldn't release it as the performance just wasn't very good. Hyde Park was entertaining and good fun, but a good show? Not so much, Jon's voice was shot and the band sounded tired.

Live from London was never released in full because the footage was shot by the BBC and there was a rights issue. Bon Jovi don't own the rights to the recording apart from what was shown on TV making it the only thing they were able to release. I'm not even sure Bon Jovi has the masters stored somewhere either. Obie once mentioned this a long, long time ago on bonjovi.com after someone asked why the DVD release didn't contain more songs even though Bon Jovi had little to do with the DVD release anyway.

Salaam Aleikum,
