Full shows? Excellent
"Tracks from"? Merely good.
Let's hope enough people are able to get th emessage across that the ONLY way to prevent bootlegging is to commit to releasing every show, warts and all, AND DELIVER.
The shadow of the Top 8 bootlegs lingers over this....
If they plan something like this, they should do it as some other bands did many times before: make the full show available at the venue right after the gig.
(Or, as many other bands also did, give people a chance to 'plug in' to the mixing desk)
If this is meant to prevent bootlegging, it indeed will not work. We all know how we are: we want the full show and nothing but the FULL show. If there is one 'oohooh' missing in an official release, we still all want the bootleg.
But don't worry: I'm sure every show on this tour will be bootlegged. They will surface one day ;-)
I think it is a very good move to give the funds of these downloads to charity though.
