No money – no sense of hoarding anymore. But I may be wrong… What are this hoarders waiting for? I don’t know AA they said CD’s would kill vinyl but it hung in there and is making somewhat of a small comeback so I would not give up on silver disc cd’s yet. As long as EVSD can make money on their unreleased titles then I think they will continue to release silver disc exclusives. Sadly the market of silver pressed discs is shrinking and it is coming down to only bands which sell , like Zep, Dylan, Pink Floyd, Clapton, are getting major silver disc treatment these days as it seems like 80%+ of the new titles I see offered are on cdr labels…All I can say is keep buying those silver discs if you want the labels to keep making them!!!…. Even if the monetary part disappears I don’t think some of this material will ever come out as there are small cliques of elite collectors who use these rare shows as trading chips for other rare material or just like the feeling of having something rare that nobody else has. I have seen this attitude expressed on one of the band forums I belong to..And I have been denied membership to exclusive members only forum lists because I had no rare material to offer………As GS put so well, enjoy the wealth of material you have and don’t worry about what is still being hoarded……. The bits I have heard comes from unidentified audience sources. I do not have them anymore since they were incomplete, 30 seconds plus fragments. I have received them more than a year ago from one guy who told me he got them from Japan. Is Jimmy Page… or David Gilmour… sitting on a pile of perfect quality multi-track tapes that will never see the light of day…? Pity these guys don’t seem too keen to put out more offerings like “How The West Was Won” and “Is There Anybody Out There?”. However, I know that EMI has signed a deal with the BBC to licence releases of archive material from the vaults, albeit presumably the stuff we’ve already bought a million times before. I think Pearl Jam and Pixies had the right idea in releasing official bootlegs immediately after shows. Surely Warner Bros. and EMI should know that the market for any new official live Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd release is immense…? Regarding “How The West Was Won” and “Is There Anybody Out There?”-both releases that I do happen to own & enjoy-some people aren’t aware that these are compilations of multiple shows. The Floyd release “Is There…” compiles tracks from numerous venues and many of the individual tracks are culled from 2 or more sources!! It sounds like Wilbur has been hanging out with Page too much! Lest he forget, the whole industry began because Columbia Records and Bob Dylan were “hoarding” the basement tapes. The artists / record label’s refusal to release these tapes has been a complaint for many years and it is not out of line to call them “hoarders.” Speaking for myself, after collecting Zeppelin bootlegs for thirty years now, the only thing that would truly impress me are previously unheard songs and outtakes from recording sessions. Lewis mentions “St. Tristan’s Sword” for example in The Concert File. Uncirculated live shows (ie Baton Rouge 1977) may hold a cursory interest but are not really interesting anymore. The next time I’m hanging out too much with Jimmy I’ll be sure to mention your opinion that he’s a hoarder. Personally, I don’t believe someone sittin on 30+ year old audience tapes for whatever silly reason quite equates with an artist or record company NOT releasing commercially every single inch of tape ever recorded by a band. I’m all about previously unheard songs and outtakes too but to state that any uncirculated live show “may be of cursory interest” seems just a wee bit over the top for a web site that reviews such shows. Yes, I DO realize you were speaking personally and not on behalf of this fine web site, but it did sound a bit jaded.. I’ll confess I’m a bit jaded when it comes to Zeppelin live shows. How excited can one be by the constant repacking of Eddie and Badgeholders? My concern is with the discussion of some of the more well known uncirculated audience tapes like Baton Rouge 77, Athens 69, St. Louis 70, Denver 68 and others that some hoarders brag about yet will never release. Clinton Heylin is right in stating that such tapes diminish in value with every passing nanosecond, and those who believe their tape “recorded in some hole in the wall with the very best tin can and string is the taper’s personal pension plan are truly delusional.” Some good points tmoq but I don’t think artists/ labels release live material with the hard core fan in mind. Most artists want the best sounding version of a song to be released which is why most official live stuff are compilations and has been sweetened or fixed in the studio. Labels seem to want whatever will sell and has mass appeal. And I have found the average fan does not want live material with all the warts….I have played ex audience source boots, like LTTE, for friends who are not hardcore only to have them complain about the sound quality..It is a shame when you think of all the amazing vintage live audio/video stuff sitting rotting in artists and labels vaults……. When it comes to boots, I only collect true (Pink) Floyd, with the exception of a few by Roger Waters & 1 by Cream, but I’m considering getting that new Doors release by Godfather, as I already have the original officially-released version, which seems to me to be reasonably good but not great. So other than completeness, plus the bonus tracks, anyone know how else otherwise the boot version is or might be superior to the official one? Thanks to anyone who can answer.
