Style/Specific types of releases/Live bootlegs
Status: This is an official style guideline. |
Note: This guideline applies to bootleg releases and release groups. For titling of live recordings, see live recording style.
Guidelines
For bootlegs with actual titles, just follow the standard titles guideline.
For untitled bootlegs, use its date and location information, in the form "YYYY-MM-DD: Venue, City, State/Province, Country".
Notes
Country names should match their names in the database, except for UK and USA, which should be abbreviated.
States in the USA and Canada should always be listed (in their abbreviated form). States and provinces elsewhere are optional, and should only be added when they're necessary to further distinguish cities with identical names.
Release groups which feature a complete live session and additional bonus tracks should still follow this guideline. It doesn't matter whether the bonus tracks are live tracks from other concerts or studio recordings.
Examples
