: A classic vinyl bootleg from his 1973 performance at The Troubadour in Los Angeles.
"The Point Depot, Dublin, December 21, 1987" Why it matters: This is a famous Irish homecoming. The energy is electric. He debuts unreleased songs from Irish Heartbeat and plays a stunning version of “Summertime in England” that outdoes the studio cut. Listen for the crowd reaction when he sings “Caledonia” —it is a religious revival.
This is the industry standard for commercial CD inserts and tray liners. The 100# gloss text is thick and rigid but remains easy to fold without the ink cracking on the spine.
Legal and Ethical Issues Bootlegging sits in a grey area legally and ethically. Unauthorized recordings infringe on artists’ and labels’ rights: performers and copyright holders are entitled to control and be compensated for recordings of their work. Many artists object to bootlegs on these grounds. Conversely, some argue bootlegs preserve cultural artifacts that labels won’t release, serving scholarly and fan interests. Morrison’s own views have varied; like many musicians, he has expressed displeasure about unauthorized release of his work while also benefiting from heightened fan interest.
