I was thinking about the constant release of RS live material today. In multiple formats (LP/CD/DVD/Bluray/Stream). And everything you can watch/listen to for free on the internet (Youtube and other sites).
Has it killed off the bootleg market? Are there anyone here still buying bootlegs? I can't remember when I last bought one...

Why anybody buys these today is beyond me. Most of the new stuff is just downloaded from torrent sites for free with a couple of pictures downloaded from then internet. As someone who tapes shows nothing pisses me off more than making my recordings available for free, seeing them show up for sale and seeing money being made by folks who do nothing. For the upcoming tour mot if not all shows will be recorded and made available for free by tapers who know what they are doing using good to excellent recording gear. Jut download it and make your own artwork.

This was, if I remember right, my first boot.
A 3-lp set from the Hampton 1981 gig. Perfect
sound. A gem. Which I was to discover later
on not every boot had...

"It makes me happy".

Well at times Crystal Cat manages to release A++++ exclusive recordings of Swedish shows that are worth the price of admission imo.

I very much like what schwonek said: "I love the magic about them, and the love that was put into them".
It reminds me of a very recent discussion I was having with my oldest friend on the planet. He is a hardcore collector, and like many here from the golden era of boots in late 90's. I was saying to him that I can't remember when I actually acquired my last actual boot; and asked him why on earth he still did it. He said:
"It makes me happy".
It completely slayed me.

. I spin some boot vinyl every morning.. To each their own but I love 'em, I picked up a bunch of them a couple months ago when someone turned their collection in to our local record shop (all Stones).. With people like Godfather/Casino (I know, I know, I mention them often..) turning out 180 gram solid sound versions with great artwork it's a new field again.. I don't do the download/bit torrent whatever they're called cuz I prefer vinyl and dislike playing with computers.. If you choose to share your recordings free, awesome!! And if you want to make a 180 gram version with great art that I don't have to download, print, mock up etc then I will pay you for 'emQuote

I gave Europe '73 (splatter vinyl) a spin today, inspired by this thread
