And then,
since at least 10 years now, Phish always let concert goers
record live shows (they had special front rows to do so) and distribute
the recordings all around no problemo. Maybe more bands should be doing
that.
Grateful Dead anyone? They even sent a former member to fight for your
right to the EFF. ;)
Goes without saying, Phish are all DeadHeads aren't they? Shame all the
SoundBoard recordings got pulled, but the Dead have still probably put out
more free recordings than anyone and really promoted the idea. It's a great
proof of concept even if you can't stand their music. I'm currently studying
the early '80's, the two year period between Brent Mydland joining and Jerry
getting back into smack produced some awesome gigs by anyone's standards.
