Sometimes they got recorded by external microphones set up at the mixing desk to capture the audience as well. Technically, it's not a SBD source then, but you'd need to have an insanely good background knowledge on each single recording to determine that for sure. What also degraded the quality was the way some shows were recorded off the radio. There were tons of promo broadcasts from Jon's DA gigs and they all differ greatly in quality, mainly due to how someone recorded them.
I'm not too certain about TV broadcasts. I've always assumed that they came from the SBD feed, but then again there's Rio 1990 where the mix of Tokyo Road (B-side later on) was far superior to the one of the TV broadcast.

Ok, that makes sense. I think it's probably true that they used microphones for the TV broadcasts, but I'm not sure, either. But that would explaind why I was confused, because Pro Shot not neccessarily equals SBD, and it's a shame that some of those recordings are not as pristine as today
