Live album which is an edit of two identical concerts that happened within a few days of each other

This live album released which was recorded in July 2022 at a particular show in a particular venue. That show actually happened twice a couple days apart in that month (the first sold out so they ran a second show), and the artist stated during the album release that the album is an edit of both of these two concerts.

How should the connection to the original performance be represented?

I see five options:

  1. Create two separate events for each separate concert on different days, and link the release to both of them (release-event recorded at)
    • But this would mean there are no recording level relationships, which seems unfortunate
  2. Create two separate events for each separate concert on different days, and link all recordings on the album to both of them (2x recording-event recorded at)
    • Does this imply all the recordings were of both concerts, which I donโ€™t know for sure?
  3. Create a single event representing these two concerts and link all recordings on the album to it (recording-event recorded at)
    • Is it ok to create an overarching event for a concert that repeats twice in a few days?
  4. Create an event series (a run?) for these two concerts at this time and link all recordings on the album to it (recording-event series recorded at)
    • These feels possibly natural, but the same concert at the same venue happened again a number of times the following year (so is presumably in the same run), but this album is specifically of the first two performances in July 2022
  5. Status quo: donโ€™t create an event or event series at all, and relate the recordings to the place (recording-place recorded at)
    • This is non-specific when we have more specific information

How to best handle this case?

Thank you.
