Wow I posted this a while ago. No worries.

Well I admit that I am certainly no expert on this kind of thing but, it would all depend on the source material. Whether her shows are recorded on film or digital.
If they are on film then all they need to do is perform an HD scan of the film and it's HD blu ray ready for the most part. However, if they were filmed digitally it's a different story. Whatever resolution they were filmed in back then is now permanent. The best they could do is create an upscale to 1080p and maybe adjust certain qualities in the picture.
Sadly I think you are correct. They likely would have released something by now. That makes me think that her old concerts were filmed digitally in SD. I know there was a re-release of some of her more recent concerts on blu ray like Countdown 07-08 for example. But they were probably filmed in digital HD so they were able to put them on blu ray.
I guess we will see if anything happens in the future.
