   Dark Side of the Moon bootlegs on stream

   Since there's been some activity in this group recently, I figured I'd   
   mention that Pink Floyd recently released a bunch of bootleg   
   recordings from the 1972 Dark Side of the Moon tour to streaming   
   services.  I checked Spotify and as of today (Dec 19, 2022) they have   
   18 concerts and a small collection of studio "alternate tracks" up.   
      
   Keep in mind that these are bootleg recordings.  I listened to a   
   couple of them and sound quality varies from fairly decent to pretty   
   bad.  If you're expecting professionally recorded concerts, you'll be   
   disappointed.  But if you can deal with bootleg level sound quality,   
   there's some interesting stuff there.   
      
   Apparently the band did something similar back in 2021, but the   
   content didn't stay up long.  From what I've read, it has something to   
   do with avoiding losing copyright on the material if it hasn't been   
   officially released after 50 years.  Putting it up on a streaming   
   service for a couple weeks counts as an official release, so they   
   retain copyright.
