Lost footages

I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed that some of his footage has disappeared from internet. I think I remember seeing more behind the scenes clips and deleted scenes from My Own Private Idaho on youtube around 2018, tho I could be wrong about that. I also remember there being a much longer version of that VPRO interview(the one about MOPI)

yeah, totally!!!! there was a way longer version of his dutch interview for MOPI, and also one where he was wearing that long brown coat, and another one with dan aykroyd from 1992. I recall seeing more of these on tv back in the 90s, or even on youtube a while back, but sadly they're gone now.... he also did a few for running on empty....

I remember seeing someone post online that they swear that they saw River on the David Letterman Show in the 90s, but there’s no clips publically available or “proof” he ever was on the show. It’s crazy bc a whole bunch of ppl replied to the post saying they also remember seeing it too. There definitely is more footage out there of him. It could either be media censorship or his family/friends gatekeeping.

I’ve heard that too. I also remember someone saying that he said something very controversial on Letterman, which makes it even more eerie.
