I can see his point.  This is why it's to the band's advantage to give
would-be bootleggers access to good sound sources.
But another _really_ good point is that your gigs sound like fucking
bollocks, how can you expect punters to turn up?
Studio albums are one thing and but live is a whole different thing.  If
you can't cut it in front of an audience, then give it up and stick to
what you're good at.
