Hi,
Welcome to Powderworks.
This is not a bootleg list. If it becomes one, that activity will be
closed down and someone else can take the legal risks of running such a
thing somewhere else.
There are numerous music industry insiders on this list. If you
announce that you are a bootlegger, you are painting a target on
yourself. A laser-guided missile target.
This is a list for discussing and tracking the life and times of
Midnight Oil, the band and the individuals who were in it, and finding
out what happened, what was available, and what anything means or might
have meant (about MO songs or from a MO perspective).
That said, you may get some replies off list about your request.
Sometimes people trade recordings of live shows that are/were not
available under any commercial arrangement. The legality of that has
been agonized over and never resolved, even with ambiguous comments from
the band members themselves. Trading commercial materials is considered
a contraband topic on this list. Trading non-commercial materials is
considered to be "at individuals' own risk". If we ever get a
clarification from the industry, we will act on it to the best of our
ability.
Numerous people on this list have prized recordings of live shows, some
of them from insiders, some from audience tapes. I'm not sure if that
is what you were talking about. Perhaps you can clarify?
