Check out what the Dead (formerly the Grateful Dead!) are doing for their
summer tour:
http://dead.munckmix.com/Any concert on the tour will be available for sale, either through the
website or by ordering right at the show itself (just look for the helpful
sales staff with the big goofy hats!). And, at $22 per show (for what will
probably be 3 CDs), it's a real bargain.
Not only that, but it you're willing to drop $432, you can get a nifty box
set of the WHOLE TOUR.
And not only THAT, but the band's policy of letting people tape shows from
the audience will still continue, so audience tapes can thrive if that's
what you're more interested in.
Sheesh...imagine all the money McCartney would make (and the hassle we'd
save by trying to track down shows, or having to listen to a skeevy
audience tape) if he'd do something like this.
SIGH. Why is it that, with the world's biggest band, we're always forced
to look at the practices of OTHER bands and OTHER record labels and say
"What if......."
