This is the Show

I was really surprised to see that two of my favorite bands from my college years are still going strong and turning out live performances. I was equally surprised to see that they offer limited edition CDs of these live performances. I am not talking about a limited edition of 50,000 that you would get on Amazon for a couple of bucks more than a standard CD. I am talking about very custom almost handmade recordings. I hope to see more bands going this route, 1) to get around the crappy recorded bootlegs and offer something tangible to the true fan that pays for more and generally buys more and 2) to stave off their extinction. Some bands have made a 2nd life by being a band that stays on tour. I mean, who really wants the Steve Miller Band to go back into the studio?
