The difficulty would be rights clearance and royalty split amongst the performers.

Subject: [laswell] Live shows as downloads
It's occurred to me now that Bill has the MOD website/store it could also offer recordings of his various live shows solely as downloads (Flac &/or mp3). He certainly has the expertise & people around him to do so at a pretty low cost. How much could it cost to host more sound files on the site along with the official release ones? Especially given the relatively fewer official cd releases in recent years. A "Beat the Boots" type thing w/o the cost of their physically released. As is he only earned money from the individual shows & this would be a way to earn a little "extra" from having done them. Frisell & many others currently do this.
I could understand if he feels the live shows are "test grounds" or experiments that he'd rather not put out there but to my mind its a damn shame to have so much great Material only heard/seen by those present at the shows (or sometimes audience recordings). Unless you live in Japan or Europe there's not that many Laz live shows to get to!
Seems reasonable to me but what do I know?
