Pink Floyd bootleg recordings
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.
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.
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".
Inflatable pigs on Roger Waters' tours
A giant inflatable pig has been one of the staple props of Pink Floyd live performances since 1977 when the album" Animals" was released.
After Roger Waters departed Pink Floyd in 1985, he continued to use the pig as a show element during his solo live performances.
Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii
Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a 1972 concert documentary film directed by Adrian Maben and featuring the English rock group Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy.
Although the band perform a typical live set from the era, there is no audience beyond the basic film crew.
The main footage in and around the amphitheatre was filmed over four days in October 1971, using the band's regular touring equipment, including a mobile 8- track recorder from Paris( before being bumped up to 16- track in post- production).
Additional footage filmed in a Paris television studio the following December was added for the original 1972 release.
The film was then re-released in 1974 with additional studio material of the band working on" The Dark Side of the Moon", and interviews at Abbey Road Studios.
The film has subsequently been released on video numerous times, and in 2002, a Director's cut DVD appeared which combined the original footage from 1971 with more contemporary shots of space and the area around Pompeii, assembled by Maben.
A number of bands have taken inspiration from the film in creating their own videos, or filming concerts without an audience.

The Australian Pink Floyd Show
The Australian Pink Floyd Show, more frequently referred to as the Australian Pink Floyd, is a Pink Floyd tribute band formed in 1988 in Adelaide, South Australia.
Their live shows attempt to recreate the look, feel, and sound of Pink Floyd's later world tours, employing visual aids such as lasers, inflatables and a large display panel similar to "Mr Screen".
The Australian Pink Floyd Show play venues worldwide.
The band is noted for replicating the nuances of Pink Floyd's work.
Steve Mac's guitar rig closely resembles David Gilmour's set-up, and includes elements custom-produced by Pete Cornish, who worked extensively with Gilmour.
The band associates itself with individuals who have worked with Pink Floyd over the years, including Colin Norfield (who worked as a sound engineer for Gilmour in his solo career and for Pink Floyd during their 1994 Division Bell Tour) and Clive Brooks – Nick Mason's long-time drum technician.
The show includes a round screen with intelligent lights arranged around its perimeter.
During a concert, movies and animations are displayed on-screen, complementing the band's light show.
Inflatables (such as the pig used by Pink Floyd during the Division Bell Tour, and "Skippy" – the band's own giant pink kangaroo and named after the Australian TV series "Skippy The Bush Kangaroo") are frequently employed in the band's shows.
