when nobody there is capable of recording a bootleg worth a shit? Or no one records it? Or I just can't find it?
Foo Fighters '08....found a boot, very shitty
AC/DC '09....found a boot, very shitty
There have been numerous other shows through the years I would love to have copies of but can't find them anywhere. I found a dude with copies of both Clapton shows I've seen, but the bastard sells them...says two would run around $35. He needs a swift kick in the nuts.
Perhaps I should become a bootlegger instead of complaining, but my love of the sauce before and during shows and my subsequent proclivity to yell and scream like an idiot throughout would make any recording of mine unlistenable.
I'm not sure if there was a point to all this aside from me complaining about the fact I can't find quality boots -- like Bob Seger -- but it ticks me off.

All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

I'm still trying to hunt down the AC/DC show I saw. Some Bootlegs still can come out pretty good. I know the Springsteen show I saw on the Magic tour came out pretty bad ass. Hopefully this year will be the same result.
As a Bootleg fan myself, I don't know why bands don't just sell the shows on their sites via a downlad service for 10 bucks a piece like PJ and Metallica did. I know there are probably others but those two bands were the first to come in mind.

That's where I found the one I was at, but, like it said, it ain't so good. Funny thing, you can kind of hear a couple of guys talking in between the first few songs and then all of a sudden dude starts yelling Spanish jibbersh....yes, jibberish, even though I took four semesters! The show was in memphis, not exactly a city with a large hispanic population.
I would think more bands would embrace a bootleg program strictly because of the downturn in album sales. It seems to me that would be a viable and relatively cheap way to keep the cash flow coming.
On Clapton: I have searched and searched for those shows and then I thought I hit the jackpot when I came across that dude's site. Pissed me off big time. No way am I paying $35 for something that very well might sound like shit

Sometimes you have to wait years for a good quality version to become available. Whoever taped the 98 Page and Plant tour released quite a few of those shows last year on the 10 year anniversary of the shows.
I would think alot of big bands record every show, so it's just a matter of time before bands that do have some A+++++ quality stuff out there.
When I get home from shows I always look for bootlegs, but it doesn't ruin the show or anything if I cant find one.
