rowland and GB- good evening from the mountains of beautiful NC! in reference to your (rowland's) last post about "taping"/trading- first let me state that i totally agree with the basics of what you wrote. second- phish is a band with a similar philosophy as the ABB, as far as "taping"/trading- but the band phish has taken it a step further. a fan can download, as of their last winter tour, ANY show of phish, direct from the band's website in MP3 or Shorten music file format. these downloads are direct soundboard unedited files. the cost of the recent phish greensboro nc show- well any show for that matter, in MP3 format is $9.95 and the money goes to the artists since it is phish the band selling the shows. as a fan of phish i am delighted with this service from the band as we all covet soundboard recordings and i know that my money goes to phish. anyone can check this out at "http://www.livephish.com/". as an even greater fan of the ABB- i wish that this service was offered to ABB fans. imagine paying $9.95 per show, with the money going to the ABB and receiving direct soundboard recordings of all the recent beacon shows!!! phish has "solved" the problem of letting fans have the best sound possible of their concerts and it also keeps the money in the circle of the band. just my two cents of thought! ps- anyone here on the GB that's going to the DTB show at the handlebar in greenville, sc and would like to meet pre-show pm me and we'll get together!!!
