This is crazy... when Karl made that "everyone wants stuff for free" comment during the last (or prior?) radio show - I thought "no - we're all willing to pay for this stuff..." - but seeing some of these posts, and the reaction to how they choose to do their shows, I can see where they're coming from.

It's a real bummer.

This band has been more transparent than almost any other - and yet that transparency has gotten them no end of grief. You have no idea what will and won't be offered for free on the new uwlive - but you complain because they HAVE charged for some of their live material? The Electraglide disc, these LHN discs... this is the best sounding live stuff I have (barring BB and EE)... and I'm glad to have it, and glad I could support the band in buying it.

It's all choice - and if you think you're being scammed -- don't partake. But coming here and complaining isn't going to change anything. If everyone spoke with their wallets, and no one bought these recordings, I'm sure the band would reconsider their stance... but most people seem happy to part with $30 for a good quality 2-Disc set, so clearly the minority are expecting this for free. What do all the people complaining here REALLY expect to come from this? Do you think whining will change the band's minds about how they distribute this stuff?

Sorry if this is a little "rant"ing... just my 2¢ - and no offense to anyone, this is directed as the complaints in general, not the complainants!
