.asf file will not open

[powrslave]

I have an .asf file from Bonnaroo concert that used to play fine. Now all players give error.
I'm guessing this is drm in effect.

So how do I get around this?

I tried win 7 medi player, vlc, kmplayer, medi player light.

If you don't have a valid drm key/license you can't do much.
