Not fanciful at all, I believe the part of my post snipped out said wouldn't
it be nice to have a clean recording of that gig?
If taping was allowed, the chances of that happening would be seriously
increased.
of course the down side, the band is still (we are told) not authorizing it.
the bottom line in all this discussion, what quality tapes are there going to
be?
there will always be bootlegs, and there will always be audience tapes by
fans.
take your pick.
