My, but we seem to be digressing off into Pink Floyd land...
Pink Floyd used to have this interesting habit of performing music that they
were currently working on/writing.  As a result, many a fan in the '70's got
to hear strange and unusual versions of Pink Floyd songs years, even, before
they released the album.  This is one of the reasons PF bootlegs are so
interesting & collected.  To draw a comparison, there's a KaTe bootleg
(_Paris, 1979_ I think [?]) which has an earlier version of Violin, with
some different lyrics.

If you judge strictly by the title of your bootleg, it *does* sound like a
compilation.  But then, bootleggers are notorious for choosing strange &
irrelevant titles.
