Anyway, it's a useful reference.  I have some of these, but not all.

Don't be fooled by these titles
The worst ones first:

1.
"Espace Grammont, Montpellier"
20/7/92 Montpellier (France) = 2/8/92 Knebworth

Definitely number 1, what a sneaky attempt this is!  The buyer will have that damn Knebworth show again.

2.
"Live at the Skydome"
6/6/92 Toronto (Canada) = 9/5/92 Astrodome, Houston

A total lie again, done on purpose. The bootleggers tried to be smart to cut a part of the "Turn it on again"-talk where Phil says "Astrodo-me". When they were really smart, they should have omitted "Mama" and "Dreaming while you sleep", used fade in fade out and changed the song order a bit. The red Canadian flag on the front cover makes it clear: 2nd place for this one.

3.
"Live album vol.3"
Track 12: Paperlate (live) = Paperlate (live - FAKE) = Paperlate (cut, studio) + crowd noise + "Thank you very much" from Phil

Not a bootleg but an official release by ARCADE records. How low can you go. Sounds pretty live, but people who've heard one of the 3 REAL live-versions of Paperlate know better.

This one comes probably from a TV show where they did this song (Top of the Pops e.g.)


4.
"Live in Basel" 1/72 Basel (Switzerland) = 16/1/72 Arlon (Belgium), Charleroi Festival

I have to admit Basel and Belgium both start with a B.


5.
"Perpetual soundwave"
1982 USA = 29/11/81 NYC, Nassau Colliseum (and day before probably)

USA true, 1982 wrong. This is from the show where Three Sides Live was taken from. Only Follow you follow me is from 7/5/1980, London Lyceum (but that's also on Three Sides Live)
