From www.stringcheseincident.com: " The String Cheese Incident and SCI Fidelity Records are proud to introduce an innovative series of live releases entitled On The Road. Barring any technical difficulties or venue restrictions, a three-CD recording from each incident along the Spring Cheese 2002 Tour will be available for pre-order when you purchase your concert tickets, for pre-order at the incident, and for purchase at www.stringcheeseincident.com. The On The Road series is an experimental project designed to help fill the steady demand for better access to SCI's live material. If this idea gets positive feedback from friends and family, we may offer something like this along future tours or for eternity. This project in no way jeopardizes The String Cheese Incident's long-standing policy of allowing individuals to record and trade our live performances. In fact, we have and will always encourage people to share their recordings and our music worldwide."
I saw this earlier today as well and my take is that this will be more similar to what Pearl Jam did than Phish. While Pearl Jam has publicly said that they don't care if people trade copies of their live cds, String Cheese does not specifically address this issue. So I emailed Jesse Aratow at Madison House. If I get an answer, I'll forward it.
