Sorry, Star Rats, but that does not make sense.  While it is true that
nowadays just about every band can expect to have every show bootlegged,
that does not prevent them from varying their material during the course
of a tour.

Besides there are lots of bootlegs of early versions of _Dark Side Of The
Moon_; that's how we know how much it changed before it was recorded.
