The first concert I ever went to was actually a Dan Zanes concert, it was a Christmas stage show at some theater in Times Square. Funnily enough, his house at the time, which was where the show was filmed, was literally right around the corner from where my grandparents lived. I remember begging them to take me over to Dan Zanes's house to see him since he lived so close by. My mom actually claims to have spotted him walking around our neighborhood a couple times. Sadly he got priced out of NYC a few years back and now he's living with his wife in Baltimore.
I know someone who's actually Facebook friends with Dan Zanes, maybe he could help. Perhaps Dan Zanes himself might have the episodes stored on his computer or something, but knowing Disney I doubt it.
Edit: I just contacted my friend and he says that he may have a copy of one of the episodes. He also says that he'll try contacting Mr. Zanes himself as well.
Thank you so much! I think this could be a huge help. Do you mind if I DM you the original contents of the emails I sent out to people for more information? If you have this lead it would be great, since none of us have been able to reach Dan himself yet

Go right ahead. In terms of the episode my friend claims to have, it turns out that it was just a link to one of the ones on YouTube. However, I asked my friend to ask Mr. Zanes if he actually made only the 5 on YouTube, or if he made more than that.

Ah thanks, that is one of the questions I have

Ah ok. I was looking for the Playhouse Disney shorts, but didn't consider that the segments on other channels like Noggin might be lost as well

I am pretty sure there were only 5 songs that were recorded and it did seem they didnt make anymore most likely it being a Pilot for a music shows therefor only 5 songs were recorded we just have 4 now

The thing is those there is also a live tv performances of Dan and his band playing teh songs that I cant find on youtube and those interviews they could have done may have some clues to the show itself

Ye at this point I think this is the most likely answer, considering when I went back to Disney's website VIA Wayback Machine (I documented my search on Disney's website a few pages back I believe) I only found mentions of those four songs.
If there are other music videos produced for Disney, they are most likely in internal records. I still hold some hope, but less than before. Was a fun search tho, so not all for nothing

Would it be a good idea to download the remaining videos from YT and upload them to the Internet Archive?
EDIT: Maybe someone on here could also contact Dan Zanes via the pages from the 1st post on this thread about this? I don't use the social media platforms on those pages
To avoid trouble with YouTube, Upload the episodes on Dailymotion or Internet Archive as you mentioned.
Could you send over a source for where does it say 4 episodes?
I used the Wikipedia page, will leave the quote from the page below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Zanes "In 2003, he played himself on Dragon Tales Let's Start a Band on TV film. The fourth album in the family series is House Party (2003), a rambunctious 20-song collection with a diverse instrumentation that, in addition to the usual guitars, banjos, upright bass and drums, includes such instruments as tuba, accordion, pump organ, djembe and saw. House Party was nominated for a Grammy in the Musical Album for Children category. Music video selections from the House Party album played during the Disney Channel's morning program suite known as Playhouse Disney from 2005–2007. New music video selections occasionally play on Nickelodeon's Noggin."
My next step might be to contact jameshernandez45e 01 via the YT comments of his videos, but he doesn't seem to be answering new comments
Yes I seen many contradictions for the airing dates. First 2005-2007 on Dan Zanes's wikipedia page, then 2006-2007 on the wikipedia page for list of Playhouse Disney shows, and then 2008 for the recording of Malti that is on YT. Would it be beneficial for me to upload the remaining clips in good or decent quality to the Internet Archieve?
EDIT: It seemed like the wiki page was taken down
*Archive, it seems to be that a Wikipedia editor put the wrong information of the broadcast date of the TV program, but never trust IMDB, of editors putting out wrong information on Films and TV programs and may not be 100% accurate.
