They seem to be posting a lot of stuff on FB at the moment . Wonder if this is something the record company are doing for all older acts at the moment or just DS?

I was wondering the same thing about the YT channel
its seems to be the "official" channel and they post bootleg stuff :

I discovered this when I was searching videos for my BIA article

Interesting that the official channels having access and rights to radio and TV broadcasts now.  Perhaps this open up new hopes of having The Tube from Wembley '85 on DVD!!!  I think Mark would rather release something from the past than the last couple of tours actually, much as he doesn't like to look to the past.  The shows just aren't good enough for a permanent record.

They don't have enough money to record and release a concert so they need bootlegs

Complete?  Remastered?  When he could really play?  Yes please!

2019:  barely any guitar, weak vocals, no energy, slow middle set, rusty playing.  No thanks and I doubt very much anyone from his camp will be releasing anything official after 2005 for these reasons.

by new stuff I meant anything from 1978 to 2019 that was never released,
not even on soundboard bootlegs like wembley 85 itself, a box with different years/concerts would be ideal
