Came across a blog with an HD version, so thanks go to the blogger.
Looks like NTSC to me, although I haven't downloaded myself.
Notes:
VH1. Rock Honors (2006)
HDTV | 1920x1080 MPEG2 29.97fps | AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround | 01:49:14 | 13.55 GB
The VH1 Rock Honors were an annual ceremony paying homage to bands who influenced the sound
of rock music. The events began in 2006, and the final event took place in 2008. The general
format of each show is for modern bands to "pay tribute" to classic greats of the rock/metal
world (by covering a song of theirs), after which time the artist being paid tribute to
plays multiple songs.
The 2006 and 2007 featured numerous inductees, whereas the 2008 show only featured one (The
Who), albeit with multiple bands paying tribute. Currently, VH1 has no plans for a CD or DVD
release of any show.
The ceremony was held at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States on
May 25, 2006. The first ever Rock Honors aired May 31, 2006, honoring rock icons Queen,
Judas Priest, Def Leppard, and Kiss.
The show was hosted by Jaime Pressly. In Latin America it aired on June 7.
The ceremony opened with the Foo Fighters performing the Queen classic "Tie Your Mother
Down." They were soon joined by Brian May and Roger Taylor. After a biography of Queen,
Queen + Paul Rodgers performed "The Show Must Go On", "We Will Rock You" (ft. Dave Grohl and
Taylor Hawkins on drums), "We Are the Champions" and "Under Pressure". (The Foo Fighters had
previously collaborated with May on a cover of PinkFloyd's "Have a Cigar" for the Mission:
Impossible II Soundtrack.)
Godsmack's tribute to Judas Priest followed, the band playing a medley of "Electric Eye,
" "Victim of Changes", and "Hell Bent for Leather". After Judas Priest's biography they
performed "Breaking the Law", "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)" and "You've
Got Another Thing Comin'.
"
The All-American Rejects then performed Def Leppard's "Photograph". During the performance,
drummer Chris Gaylor wore nothing but British flag shorts - a reference to what Leppard
drummer Rick Allen wore in all the band's old music videos. After Def Leppard's biography
they took the stage and performed "Rock of Ages," a long version of "Rocket" with a guitar
solo, then continued to play a T.Rex cover off their newest album, Yeah!, "20th Century Boy.
" For this performance, Joe Elliott invited Brian May to join the band.
A supergroup was then formed of Rob Zombie, Slash, Gilby Clarke, Scott Ian, Ace Frehley,
and Tommy Lee. The six then performed "God of Thunder". Kiss followed with their closing
performance of "Detroit Rock City", "Deuce", "Love Gun" and for encore they performed
"Makin' Love". This went against traditional Kiss performances as they normally closed with
"Rock and Roll All Nite".

someone has a recording of this broadcast? or knows where I can find it?
The videos to all songs which were not broadcasted were on the official VH1 website, but I can't find them anymore :-(
Still, anyone willing to do a torrent ? :-)
