I've always loved live bootlegs, and while not as fanatical as some, I have spent reasonable money on stuff - maybe 40 bucks for the 'Smile' bootleg, the Dylan 'Live66 Royal Albert Hall' before it got an 'official' release and some Stones live boots from the early 70s and of course tonnes of Velvet Underground ones..I do understand CLinton Heylin wrote a pretty good book on the who bootleg phenom about 10 years ago...
The thing I love about bootlegs is their obvious rawness, their 'time warping' feel and of course the immediacy and yet distance of the live 'sound' untampered with.
ANYWAY SoulSeek has been like Manna from Cyberspace for me in regards to bootlegs, and recently I found some prime-period My Bloody valentine boots from 'Isn't anything' and 'Loveless' related tours. They sound great - fucked up, murky and totally psychadelic and experimental, up there with my Les Raillizes Denudes boots. totally sick!
