Re: Live shows as downloads

This is something that was discussed in the past. 

Part of the limitation was that in order for it to be done 'right', there would need to be some time spent with the recordings (whether mixing, mastering or what have you) and that's something Bill didn't have time for. Which would leave it to someone like Bob Musso who also has a lot on his plate. 

In short though, nothing is ever off the table.

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.

Unless you live in Japan or Europe there's not that many Laz live shows to get to!
