Yeah, maybe, but it makes their selling it after the show rather more a
service to fans without internet access than a moneymaking venture. Anytime
a band will sell me their record for $12 and/or a t-shirt for $10- relative
bargains I'll grant- I'll buy them. Otherwise, I'd better be awful darn
impressed, and in a generous/inspired mood. It *does* happen. <g>
