BMA sales were tough to gauge because of lack of download options for many years and wonky shipping rates for anyone outside the US. I know of Vancouver fans who attended the original show who balked at the shipping rates of the Vancouver 1970. The label paid them BIG money for those 12 shows recorded for Ab-Live.

Which 12 shows was recorded for Ab-Live? They have multi-tracks? Why is not all released?

I can't see why they wouldn't release the Stockholm 68 soundboard. Two sets, great performance (especially the late show), unusual song choices like Lost Little Girl and Love Street (as far as I can recall the only live version) and soundboard quality that's higher quality than the Vancouver 70 and Matrix 67 BM releases. I think they probably have it scheduled for release down the line, assuming there's no issues with the rights etc.

That may very well be the issue. The Stockholm concerts are two very good shows in good sound quality, but the band doesn't own the master tapes, so they would likely need to enter into a license agreement to commercially release them in the U.S. (the recordings should be in the public domain in Europe).
