I want to thank Peter Grant for "Live on Blueberry Hill" tip! Excellent bootleg!
-
Lennon’s in a bag and Yoko shouts “Power to the people”… looks like a scene out of the Rutles lol
-
Thanks GOODNESS for bootleggers. They've given us a myriad of great recordings of great bands that otherwise would be lost in history.
-
my favorite thing about bootlegs is that they capture the live feeling much better than any officially released polished live album
-
Nice to hear the Floyd working on an early take of "Echoes".
-
I never heard of bootlegs until my neighbor called me over to his house in 1977 to hear Led Zeppelin Earl's Court, an audience tape from 1975. I was fascinated then, and it continues unabated to this day. I'll listen to a good audience tape over a soundboard any day. They're like taking a time machine trip back to the glory days of Rock.

The camera panning over from yoko to John sitting there in a bar after the interviewer asking how her husband feels about the situation and her responding “uh I don’t know he prefers to be in a bag today” is peak unintentional comedy gold
-
"For The People". -Yoko Ono-. 💯
-
Who here remembers Napster and Lime Wire..............
-
Peter Grant was a scary legend.
-
If Pink Floyd recorded and released early 70s live recordings we would not need to buy bootlegs to hear their live performances.
-
Neeever seen that footage of Yoko and John in the bag lmfao. I thought I'd seen it all.
-
It's great to see the full report, The Pink Floyd part was released on the recent Pink Floyd Boxset
-
Tpday we are happy to have at least bootlegs for historical reasons. In the 70ties Pink Floyd was so afraid of bootlegs that there is almost no official live recording of their shows. Maybe this TV feature was the reason Pink Floyd were so paranoid.

I remember my siouxsie and the banshee bootleg from 91...cd sounded like it was recorded in a tin can..however...it adds to the collection
-
A famous early Floyd bootleg was recorded in my hometown in 1970 - Live at Akademiska Föreningen (AF), Lund University, Sweden. In reality it's the house of the Students' Union Corps, the gig was taped at their grand hall which has been used for concerts, theatre spectacles, public debates and conferences for a hundred years (I have attended many times, for instance seeing Sir George Martin talking about "The Making of Sgt Pepper"). :)

If I had to make a defense for bootlegs, a lot of enthusiasts don’t have access to really cool unheard cuts from mainstream sources.
-
...no one is going to talk about John Lennon being inside of a bag for no reason?
-
Too bad that groups don't have managers like Peter Grant to protect their interests anymore! A passionate defender. These days it's all done impersonally with lawyers.
-
Jeffry Collins is still alive and in the biz. You KNOW Peter Grant did what he did best. Gave him a "stern" warning and Collins knew Grant wasn't bluffing. Peter had a rep of violently dealing with those that tried to rip off his acts.
