It seems there were three "Witness History" concerts. I've only found music from this one. All three of them were tribute concerts honoring guitarist Chet Aktins, and all were held at the same venue in Nashville, Tennessee. The first one took place in 1997, the second in 1998. This one, the third one in 2000, also was the last one.
Pretty much everything I found out about this concert is due to a review by a person who attended it, which you can read here:

It seems some of the concert was broadcast on T.V., and some of that broadcast has made it to various bootlegs. But what we have here is surely incomplete. For instance, this starts with a set by Duane Eddy consisting of six songs. But the reviewer mentioned above says Eddy played 13 songs. It was probably similar with the Frampton and Fogerty sets as well. And there are other performers we don't have at all. The biggest loss is that Willie Nelson performed a set that we don't have. He was joined by Nanci Griffith and Bonnie Bramlett on a couple of songs. Chet Atkins was there, but it seems he'd suffered one or more strokes recently and wasn't able to perform. He died one year later, at the age of 77.
But on the plus side, what we do have is great, with excellent sound quality. John Fogerty has said that Duane Eddy was a big musical influence on him. He joined in on two songs in Eddy's set. Plus, he and Frampton joined Eddy for the final encore. Furthermore, Vince Gill joined in on lead guitar on songs in both Eddy's and Fogerty's sets. If Gill did any songs on his own, we don't have them.
I found most of this from one source. However, the first song comes from a video I found on YouTube. That makes me think there could be more out there that got broadcast. Hopefully, I'll be able to add to this eventually. But at least enjoy this much for now.

The cover is a screenshot I took from YouTube videos. The video quality was low. So I took several close-up screenshots and patched them together in order to capture more detail. Then the Krea AI program helped add to the image quality.
Thank you
