all I'm saying is that if someone else (not Metallica) was doing it I don't think they'd get crucified for it...as far as them getting more money, isn't that what the whole downloading "revolution" is supposed to be about --- getting the artists a bigger cut of the profits from their own music by dealing directly with the fanbase?

I'm unlikely to buy any of these concerts, because Metallica suck now, but $10 for a 2-CD set, with artwork (yeah, you have to print it out on your own printer at home—boo fucking hoo) seems like a fair deal to me. Weren't Pearl Jam charging $15-17 for their 2-CD bootlegs?

For a band I really like, I'd pay $13 for a good-quality bootleg, even if I don't get a jewel box and liner notes. I throw the former away, and I rarely look at the latter (all my CDs are in CD changers, cataloged and controlled by computer). I think it would be cool if bands started recording their shows from the mixing board and selling them on iTunes, etc.
On preview: $13 in FLAC sounds like a much better deal. If a good band started offering this, I'd give it a shot.

yep, the other day I was going to buy the new Mountain Goats, but I bought some winter wheat futures instead.

just saw them live last night. incredibly fun show. they played "Ride the Lightning" and it was scorching.
also got "Fight Fire with Fire" again (how weird to get that in the only two shows I've seen of the 21st century).
and they brought back "Creeping Death" after a weird absence at the last Hardwired show I saw.
also they've mostly knocked off the endless guitar solos so it's not like the 3 hour days of the TBA tour.
