Where can I get some old VH video(vhs)footage(pre 1986)? U.S. festival, foreign material w/ Dave, old club stuff, etc...

You've already completed the first step; you asked in a forum like this. Someone will answer. Usually it's a 2:1 or 1:1 trade, meaning send someone 2 blank videotapes and they'll send you whatever they offer. You send 2 blanks; one is for taping and the other is to replace what the taper is recording for you, sort of a "fee". Or, if you have some footage another person doesn't have, you can trade with them that way, which is where the 1:1 trade occurs.

Also, if you read or have access to Goldmine Magazine, many vendors in their back pages advertise as having such material, usually for no more than $25-$30 per video. You may also want to try record conventions, flea markets, and underground music stores, but be sure you ask for "live import videos", never ask for "bootleg videos/material" straight out, otherwise you'll receive a straight-up "Nope!"

Check out this site. I've never ordered from them, so this isn't a recommendation.
