All 1971 shows…must be a copyright dump? I dont know how long they need to keep them up to claim the copyright…probably not long.
Looks like a copyright dump for sure. Now they've been "released" so they're ahead of all those EU bootleggers.
I didn't click all of the links, but at least one of them has March 72 Dark Side recordings. Lyon 12 June 1971 & Tokyo 16 March 1972 (Live)
Yes indeed! Claiming what the bootleggers produced as product……….for free! So who’s ripping off who? This is actually funny………. Tmq was looking to sell master tapes of the classic leg lp’s , but nobody was interested. This was about 10 years ago. Funny how things evolve in the music industry! Now the artist just tells the lawyer to copyright the thing, and bam! It’s theirs! Sweet revenge? This is really funny. BeaVe
The ones I clicked on are unavailable to play. I don't see how releasing them for a few minutes then deleting them discourages bootleg hunting. I want to hear these. I can't. So now I go to the usual channels to look for them, and will probably be able to download them..
You’re right in terms of finding them online however what it does stop are the grey market EU CD releases like the ones we see all over Amazon.
Surprised this hasn't been picked up more widely. These are available in lossless on Tidal etc as well as to purchase on Qobuz etc. Unfortunately, as noted they are all audience sourced (they clearly wouldn't have soundboards!) - but as a copyright dump I find it interesting that the band are willing to stick up some really lo-fi recordings with original bootleg artwork. Especially after the fantastic hi-res releases that we had a few months ago. A version of One Of These Days appeared in my Spotify Release Radar and based on the cover art I assumed it was one of those semi-legitimate "FM broadcast" type releases that occasionally crop up. However, these are clearly official! I wonder if these will stay up. There's also a number of '71 shows that circulate but are not included in this dump. I would have assumed that maybe they wanted to put up the "best" versions but on listening clearly that's not the case!
They're all still available to me in the UK... I had a quick flick through and none of them sounded like release-standard quality, hence why none of them were in the Early Years, I imagine. Still listenable though and I'm sure there are some great performances there.
