[update page/title from 'Live bootlegs' to 'Live entities' for generality]


Status: This page describes an active style guideline proposal and is not official.

JIRA ticket STYLE-228

Application

This guideline applies to live releases, release groups, and recordings.

Guidelines

Titles for live entities should generally follow the normal style guidelines, with the below exceptions.

Releases

Releases with a title, such as most live CDs, should use their own title per the general titles guide. Live releases without titles, such as audience recordings and untitled official live releases, should follow the Release Group rules below for the release title.

Release Groups

Live Release Groups, and untitled live Releases, should be named by concatenating the date and location, including as much information as is known, following the format below.

Syntax: "YYYY-MM-DD: Event, Venue, City, State, Country".

  • YYYY-MM-DD is the date, formatted year-month-day. Month and day should be zero-padded, e.g. 2001-05-07 for May 7, 2001. If the month and/or day are unknown, they may be omitted (e.g. 1975, 2003-08).
  • Event is the name of the festival (e.g. Lollapalooza, Woodstock, etc.) or TV/radio program (e.g. Saturday Night Live, Grammy Awards), which may be included if applicable, particularly if the event/program name is more significant than the venue. It should not be used for tour names or generic event descriptions such as "in-store event"- this information should go in the annotation.
  • Venue is the name of the location (hotel, hall, stadium, etc.) where the concert took place. This may be blank if unknown, if the location doesn't have a name (such as some festival sites), or if the event name by itself is unambiguous.
  • City can be the city, town or village where the concert was held. Additional disambiguation should be given if there are multiple identically-named cities in the same state, e.g. Franklin, Franklin County, NY, USA vs Franklin, Delaware County, NY, USA.
  • State in this context means any subdivision between city and country, and may be referred to as province, prefecture, county, etc. It should always be included for USA and Canada, or when needed for disambiguation between 2 or more cities of the same name in the same country (ex: Sakura, Chiba, Japan vs Sakura, Tochigi, Japan). Otherwise, it may be left blank. See here for a list of US State abbreviations.
  • Country is the country.

Examples:


Multiple live releases of the same concert should be grouped in the same Release Group. For example:

Live concerts with a single, unique release title should extend the title of the release group with date and location information as above, using the syntax "[YYYY-MM-DD: ]Title[: Location]". If there is an alternative dividing punctuation mark at the end of the title, such as the question mark (?) or exclamation point (!), use that mark instead of the colon.


This guideline can be applied to release groups which feature a complete live session and additional bonus tracks (those can be live tracks from other concerts or studio recordings), e.g. 2002-05-02: Ahoy, Rotterdam, Netherlands. It does not apply to live compilations, which are releases that collect tracks from different live sessions. Examples:

Recordings

As specified on the recordings style guide, live recordings should have a disambiguation comment of "live", and should be extended with the date and location as above. See the recordings entry for more examples.
