Live Downloads
So it seems that Springsteen is offering for sale downloads of his live shows. Personally I think it's an interesting concept.
An acknowledgement of the fact that people are recording the shows anyway with cell phones and posting them everywhere, he is offering an official release of each show.
This has been talked to death on the forum about whether Meat should or shouldn't be releasing board tapes and or fan recordings.
Completely his call.
I recently watched his last at bat concert in Germany on youtube and though it definitely wasn't the same as being there, it was the next best thing. Meat was fantastic in every song. So much better than I was expecting and to see him give such a heartfelt thank you to his German fans, beyond class.
Thats the sort of thing that everyone should have the opportunity to see. It should be up on his own website.
There are not a lot of true performers who put so much of what they are into every show, but Meat is definitely one of them.
It just needs to show more.
