Live Bootleg CDs - Are they legitimate? Good quality?

Back in the old days when the hi-fi VHS VCR's came out . I recorded at least 150 hours of music concerts on a Fisher machine I purchased. The video was t.v and the sound was in stereo from KMET a FM station in L.A.and it was called simulcast. I keep them in the dark in a dust free enviroment. I tried once sending a couple to a company that put them on DVD but they did not transfer well. I still have the last generation made of the JVC super hi-fi VCR in good working condition and thru my McIntosh MA 7900 int. amp and stereo they sound is actuallly quite good the picture was never top notch because it was early cable t.v. in a fringe area but it is watchable and very enjoyable. I purchased in the past several cd's at the old Tower Records only to discover they were bootleg and the sound was not great.

Legitimate?  Rarely.  Good Quality?  Rarely.

Your mention of KMET brings back great memories. My junior and senior years in HS ('73, '74), they were my favorite radio station. 

I’ve bought a few over the years.  The CDs tend to sound better than the vinyl I’ve had but the quality is always lacking to some degree.  Prefer getting copies of shows I’ve attended more for the memory than critical listening. 

Note that after 50 years, copyrights revert to public domain, which is why you see so many CD's these days of live shows from that era, mostly soundboards or radio broadcasts, on Amazon and many other retailers. If the broadcast sound was good, so will the sound of the CD's - I've got a number of them.
