  1. You should ask him, I just posted of what was told from other person, you moron.
  2. I do not know, just got that info from someone, who's a member of the hotel (aka Royal Orleans.com). I am probably as much curious as all of you. Hope it won't be just another "Baton Rouge 77" crap.
  3. Some interesting and spicey discussion took over the Royal Orleans forums, looks like there are some really big tensions between the collectors, of which most interesting is the last paragraph saying Odense 71, alternate source for Helsinki 70 as well as the full late show for Honolulu 70 are in circulation among the closest group of hoarders. If this is true (yet has to be confirmed though), we can expect some truly unique releases soon! I did not intend to come back to the topic but felt provoked so I will add a few lines on this topic.When in 2006 I joined the "hotel" (I deleted my profile because I thought that I had enough music for a while, I wanted to devote myself to family life), I met many people there with passion, among them some very important collectors with whom I quickly made friends which resulted in a wide exchange of various types of sources. This state of affairs lasted more or less until about 2010, when a lot of people representing the "I deserve" approach came to the forum. To this day, I remember the endless disputes and quarrels over how someone has the nerve not to publish a tape when it is in circulation. Already then, the warning light came on for me, because at least it was clear to me (and so it is so far) that when one person wants something, he should offer something to the other. I could not stand the constant whining and naive explaining that if the recording is allegedly owned by the band (in this case it is absolute nonsense, because such recordings are in no way legalized, so they are in a way devoid of any copyrights), why people those who have them are not obliged to share them with other users for free.Somehow I swallowed this bitter pill, believing that there is still a group of people who adhere to the old and proven principles, which read "for what you receive, offer something in return." Unfortunately, it turned out from year to year that this practice, developed for many years by many people, who often invested their time and money in acquiring a given material), the recordings, which for many years belonged to the strict circle of collectors (fortunately, many of them still belong and do not seem to be to change it more), are now made public and thus lose their value.Do you think someone who has really rare recordings will be willing to give them away in exchange for something that anyone can smoke? The answer to this question seems very obvious and it is NO.In summary, if you really want to play in the first league, instead of complaining that someone pointed out a mistake or negatively commented on your uploads, you better change your approach, because your practice makes at least two people I know personally (and who are in the possession of previously unpublished materials), currently they do not want their sources to see the light of day (except for the so-called secret copies circulating among faithful collectors).Finally, let me wish you good luck, because if, in your anger, you start mentioning the names and nicknames of people in public who perhaps do not want it, you are just an ordinary kid who does not deserve more attention.BTW Odense 71 is already in circulation, as is the alternative source from Helsinki 1970, not to mention the full recording of the late Honolulu gig from 1970. If you had a bit more tact, I might be inclined to negotiate at least one of the above-mentioned sources and make it public for a wider audience after the exchange. Because of your selfish and childish behavior, I am now not even inclined to even think of such a thing.Good luck my friend!
  4. What a kind of beauty and labour of love! Cannot wait to get a copy.
  5. Downloading any music without paying is a violation of copyright laws, of course if we're speaking about legitimate releases. I am not angry, it's funny to see how all these people are cryin' saying they're not interested in such crap and instead of buying, they're downoading it. So, at the end, it's just like "I cannot afford it so I am gonna call this crap but instead of buying it, I'll download it and praise it all over the place". What a sort of ambivalence. The music was (and probably still is) connected to the artwortk, I cannot imagine listening to all these great bands and albums without watching covers. Can you imagine listening to, let's say, the first album of the King Crimson without exploring that amazing cover artwork, without reading lyrics? Me not, and I am probably not alone doing this. With bootlegs things are a bit different but generaly it's all about the same - it's the labour of love and kind of a mysticism applied together. I am not saying that spending $150 for a single cd set is obligatory but this is how it works really. There are many collectors ready to spend a small fortune on such crap :). You should be very grateful if some of them are enough generous to make a free upload, spending their hard worked money just to buy an expensive product and sharing it just for free.
  6. I do. Collecting is something more than just listening to your fav band or music. It is like trying to get close to what you love. Apart from that, it has its practical aspect - such releases can be cashed in and with a fairly large percentage. Not to mention the often beautiful, unique graphics. I completely don't care if someone is uploading it to some torrent or not. The publishing aspect is what counts for me. The same is said by many people who download official CDs for free. But is this what it's all really about? ...
