In the Seventies bootleg albums were white albums with a black and white information sheet on it, the names of the illegal record companies often were funny names. I have bought a  lot of these albums because of the interesting live recordings, for example from early Genesis, Yes, ELP, Todd Rundgren, Marillion, Roxy Music, King Crimson and Gentle Giant. The sound quality was between mediocre and poor but this was compensated by the exciting live music that was in those days not officially released.
Nowadays the best way to purchase rare live footage is to go to Bit Torrent, if you are lucky you can get very rare prog!
 
I remember in some record shops  they were filed together with the 'regular records', especially in Italy and the Netherlands,  sometimes with these funny made up inside labels. one of my favourite boots is a 3 record set with  the complete Pink Floyd Hollywood bowl concert 1973 and another PF 'Ohm Sweet Ohm' with 'Atom Heart Mother'.(much better without the pompous orchestra)

Made the mistake on one of my travels of buying what seemed to be a good book, on the history of rock band concert bootlegs (Pengiun paperbacks?), in a remainders sale. It was a very good read until I discovered several months after buying it that  80+pages covering the 80's were missing, while 80 pages were duplicated - never found a replacement copy
