My audio and video "releases from the archives" is continuing quite well, see other thread "Live recordings - Tony Rees archive", https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=170354. Meanwhile an interesting dilemma... as sometimes happens, a touring act plays more than one show in one's home town and I happened to tape or video more than one of them (in this case, two on consecutive nights). What to do? Put up both (probably overkill); try to select the overall better of the 2 as a historical document; or fillet the best numbers/performances out of each and join them together in a form that no longer represents an intact concert? Hmm... Graham Nash did the third of these options for the 40-date tour of Crosby/Stills/Nash/Young in 1974, for a live compilation released many years later. However there are still those (myself included) who also enjoy watching a complete show at a single venue, only possible because a bootleg exists in this case (the dreaded "b" word again...)
