Since there's been some activity in this group recently, I figured I'd
mention that Pink Floyd recently released a bunch of bootleg
recordings from the 1972 Dark Side of the Moon tour to streaming
services. I checked Spotify and as of today (Dec 19, 2022) they have
18 concerts and a small collection of studio "alternate tracks" up.
Keep in mind that these are bootleg recordings. I listened to a
couple of them and sound quality varies from fairly decent to pretty
bad. If you're expecting professionally recorded concerts, you'll be
disappointed. But if you can deal with bootleg level sound quality,
there's some interesting stuff there.
Apparently the band did something similar back in 2021, but the
content didn't stay up long. From what I've read, it has something to
do with avoiding losing copyright on the material if it hasn't been
officially released after 50 years. Putting it up on a streaming
service for a couple weeks counts as an official release, so they
retain copyright.
