Questions about events and broadcasts

See this release group. It’s raising some questions for me:

  1. Should it be a broadcast release or an album? It’s clips from the show, mostly likely captured from a broadcast rather than in person, but it’s not the complete broadcast. There are several official PHC releases that consist mostly of clips from one show, packaged as an album. (If broadcast, I’ll edit the RG to use broadcast style.)

  2. In cases where the entire release was recorded at a single event, should you link the event to the release or the recordings or both? Particularly in a case like this, where you might have multiple versions of the recordings, the event could be overrun with them. Does the fact they’re bootleg make any difference?

I thought there was something else but it’s not coming to me now. Will follow up if needed.

Edit changing from broadcast to album, since it’s really been edited and formatted as an album: Edit #118233572 - MusicBrainz
