Unauthorized Live Audio Recordings Featuring David Byron

Unauthorized recordings from David Byron's career [we prefer to keep away from calling these bootlegs since that implicates that the recordings are available for sale * ].  It's understood that recording a live concert without consent of the band is illegal and in fact it's stealing.  Yet we can argue also that the treatment most artist received from the labels, the management and the amount of income paid to them for their work was stealing too.   That however is a whole new argument yet we look at the picture as being not a victim of pirated recordings but a beneficiary of the work.

Many of these files linked to the pages below are the only known live source of certain songs and the track listing of each provide the set lists for that particular show.   These recording have some merit to the facts that are found within.  Notice that the listings are from the date and venue only, not from a bootleg title.  Most are just audience tapes or from a radio or TV broadcast.  Few were actual silver disc bootlegs, but those are noted in the information of date listed if known.  The sound of these recordings varied by great degree but each contained a glimpse of a memorable night.   A look into that segment of the recorded sound and how the songs were transformed over time.  Enjoy the information and contact us if you know of other items that may be included or shared.  

Our special thanks goes out to Konstantinos Takos for his help in correction of incorrect date listings and venues.
