Pink Floyd bootleg recordings are the collections of audio and video recordings of musical performances by the British rock band Pink Floyd, which were never officially released by the band. The recordings consist of both live performances and outtakes from studio sessions unavailable in official releases. In some cases, certain bootleg recordings may be highly prized among collectors, as at least 40 songs composed by Pink Floyd have never been officially released. During the 1970s, bands such as Pink Floyd created a lucrative market for the mass production of unofficial recordings with large followings of fans willing to purchase them. In addition, the huge crowds that turned up to these concerts made the effective policing of the audience for the presence of recording equipment virtually impossible. Vast numbers of recordings were issued for profit by bootleg labels. Some Pink Floyd bootlegs exist in several variations with differing sound quality and length because sometimes listeners have recorded different versions of the same performance at the same time. Pink Floyd was a group that protected its sonic performance, making recording with amateur recording devices difficult.〔〔(Bootleg: The Rise & Fall of the Secret Recording History, Clinton Heylin, p.159 )〕 In their career, Pink Floyd played over 1,300 concerts, of which more than 350 were released as bootlegged recordings (sometimes in various versions). Few concerts have ever been broadcast (or repeated once they were broadcast on television), especially during 'the golden age' of the group from 1966 to 1981. Pink Floyd was one of the mainstays of the bootleg industry in the 1970s.〔〔(Clinton Heylin, ''Bootleg: the rise & fall of the secret recording industry'', Omnibus Press, 2003 )〕 In 1999, the group was mentioned on BPI's list of most bootlegged British artists of all time. One of the best known ROIO's by Pink Floyd is ''Best of Tour '72: Live at the Rainbow Theatre'' with a concert performed on 20 February 1972. This bootleg includes one of the first performances of ''The Dark Side of the Moon''. One year and one month before the official release of that same album, the bootleg had already sold over 120,000 copies. In 2008, the Pink Floyd bootleg ''Madison Square Garden, New York, NY – 2 July 1977'' was mentioned on the Yahoo's ''Top 10 of Best Bootlegs of All Time''.〔(Yahoo, The 10 Best Bootlegs of All Time, Thu 9 October 2008 ) 〕 == Earliest bootlegs == Most of Pink Floyd's early bootlegs concern performances from the European A Saucerful of Secrets Tour and the A Saucerful of Secrets US Tour. Most of these bootlegs were released by the label "Ace Bootlegs Production". In January 1996, the label See For Miles Records released the bootleg album "Psychedelic Games for May" which includes a collection of Syd Barrett era Floyd, featuring a pre-Floyd acetate, rough mixes of the early singles plus BBC TV and the unreleased single "Scream Thy Last Scream". As late as 2004, a bootleg album entitled "Outtakes From Outer Space" emerged from Israel on the dubious-sounding "Hippie Shit Label", featuring a compilation of studio session recordings and outtakes, some mentioned above. The track listing was: # Lucy leave (First Pink Floyd-Studio-Session) # I'm a kingbee (First Pink Floyd-Studio-Session) # Interstellar Overdrive (Studio-Session, 31 October 1966) # Astronomy Dominé (Live in London, 12 May 1967) # Experiment (Studio outtakes 1967) # Flaming (BBC-Session, 30 September 1967) # The Gnome (BBC-Session, 30 September 1967) # Matilda Mother (BBC-Session, 30 September 1967) # The Scarecrow (BBC-Session, 30 September 1967) # Vegetable Man (BBC-Session, 19 December 1967) # Pow R.
