Re: Live shows as downloads

*Kai* is already available as very cheap download on the usual sites.The
raw show was around too, but was hard to listen to. (IMHO, it is not really
that good anyway  He had to chop and change it greatly to get anything
of interest out of it, but some people that improv stuff.)

The more recent material sounds much better to me, but Laswell fans have
widely differing opinions.
