I have only a few unofficial live recordings I paid cash for but that was before I knew any better and well before the advent of the internet. In this day and age of the B & P and the ability to download for free there is no reason to pay for live recordings (except in very rare cases). Even then I try to avoid it at all costs because any way you look at it, it is stealing money from the artists in question and putting it in the pocket of bootlegers.
No. As I said, I simply didn't know any better back then and consider it water under the bridge by now and a very valuable lesson learned. If others want to rob from their favorite artists by supporting bootleggers they can continue to do so but it's a stance I personally do not support. If the sale of illegal bootlegs wasn't a problem you wouldn't see things like the Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks series, Instant Live and similar approachs being taken by everyone from Jimmy Buffett to Pearl Jam, all as a deterrent to put the bootleggers out of business.
During our discussion of the Beatles catalog being remastered I merely mentioned the digital aspect of it as I'm aware that's part of the deal but don't know all of the details, that's why I said I hope they will also be re-released in the compact disc format. If you're trying to drag me into another of your "mp3s are inferior arguments" you're preaching to the choir as I totally agree with you. As for the trading community, every taper/trader I know goes to great lengths to ensure their recordings stay in the original, uncompressed format. What people do with them after that is completely up to them, just so long as they are not circulated as mp3s among other traders.
Yes..I DO understand what you say about bootlegs and money....I mostly agree.
But .... Robert Fripp of King Crimson goes one step further in his philosophy. He says merely trading is ALSO wrong. He contends that the music is still the work of an artist and any possession of such illegal recordings and trading constitute working with a 'product' that isn't the person's in possession's own work. I could probably find his full statement if you ever wanted to read it.
He's not like these 'trade friendly' artists that are out there now....and there are still many who absolutely don't condone trading or possession of bootlegs...
This list is severly outdated....but lists bands both allowing and disallowing recording of shows..and some of their reasons...

Oh and I wasn't preaching when I mentioned the mp3 thing...only saying that...again..because of you including the iTunes thing along with mention of remastering. iTunes are OBVIOUSLY notorious for mp3's...they may in fact offer full file downloads too. I don't use iTunes..so I don't know for sure......I know your not an mp3 enthusiast !

Well, it's easier to compliment another girl than to compliment a guy. Because if you tell another girl that she's beautiful, she's most likely just going to be flattered. Women like to hear those sort of things. If you tell a guy he's handsome, me might be thinking that you're coming on to him....
POSH the thought !
Girls dont' think you're coming onto them with those compliments ? I bet some do.
but there's nothing wrong with that.

I believe this boot is only available from vinyl source now. Supposedly, the original master tape got tossed into the ocean by a paranoid bootlegger..

I just finished about a 4 mile walk down Wedgewood thru Vandy up WestEnd then down Music Row back to the house and the wind was brisk and the temp was about 35 degrees. Now it's snow flurrying....first snow I've seen since last spring in New Jersey.

^ On the original vinyl jackets, 'How Many More Times' had a listed running time of 3m30sec. and it was actually about 8m30sec. Maybe the cassette dubbers saw that and just ended it at that !
