clearly copyrighted content
Is it, though? The recordings contain a lot of audience cheering, talking and laughter; miscellaneous background noise, and echos of the subject content -- the music. If the recording was made in a park, and a car randomly drove by with the radio turned up while a song was playing, would anyone argue the recording was copyrighted? Obviously, the intent of each of these recordings was to capture the music. But, the recordings were made by a private individual -- they're HIS recordings. I'd argue that if anyone owns a copyright on them, he does.
