What are the chances the Hip will continue to release these shows as official downloads or CD's in the near future? They have tons of great sounding shows and could easily make them available as they used to do with with the 6 Vault shows in FLAC format.

That would be amazing. Jake Gold was on the Hip Top 40 podcast a while back and mentioned that they have almost 1000 unreleased live shows in their vaults, and that so far they've found about 400 or so that are of high enough quality to release. However, at the moment the band seems content with releasing one with every new box set and the occasional new/unreleased show on their Sirius XM channel. Maybe once they're done with the album reissue campaign, they'll release a bunch more just for download through their website or even Bandcamp. One can dream.
