Don't know if anyones noticed there is an excessive amound of old live recording appearing on official CD, wouldnt it have been a lot nicer to have freely let fans record the gigs, there would have been a lot more available on CD these days bad quality or not, i would be more than happy to hand any live tapes over for official CD release as i'm sure a lot would.Yes they were protecting the band financially, laying the law down but were they? Looks to me they helped put pay to bands extended future income.
