Magic moments on repeat ✨

What makes Bootlegs special is that we capture more than the setlist — we capture the world inside the room. The banter, the small moments...every part of the night saved in a new kind of time capsule.

These fan-shot moments from Jack's Mannequin capture everything we love about live music- the lights, the crowd, the feeling of being part of something unrepeatable.

That’s why Bootleg exists. To save the whole night: the sound, the energy in the room, + the way it felt to be there.

You can listen anywhere, but you can only feel it together.

Bootleg exists to keep that shared energy alive- to preserve what happens when real people make real music in real spaces.

“The real issue isn’t whether AI is ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ That framing is too simplistic. AI is just a tool. The responsibility lies with leaders to use it in ways that strengthen creativity rather than hollowing it out.” — Bootleg founder & CEO Rod Yancy @rollingstone.com’s #CultureCouncil
How Creative Leaders Can Use AI Without Losing the Human Spark

At the heart of music is a simple truth: live connection is what makes it unforgettable. Fans don’t just want to hear songs, they want to co-create the moments, carry them home, and keep them close. — Bootleg newsletter, 8.25.25

Live audio can be polarizing. Just take The Who’s latest release. John Curley at #Goldmine called it “an explosive set,” but #CultFollowing's Ewan Gleadow decried it as “little more than an excuse to fleece fans of their cash.” Listen below and tell us what you think!
