Webster Hall selling live show recordings @ Best Buy, iTunes

They did in 2004?

The prayers of some 16 year-old from Paramus for a copy of that live Linkin Park show he went to have finally been answered.

LINKIN PARK!!!!!!!

Hopefully it sounds better on CD than it does when you're actually there.

hopefully the BIZKIT does a reunion show there. aren't they reuniting? we need some bootlegs.

I be happy to buy the Heartless Bastards performance from Friday night.

when the hell did linkin park play webster hall?

Currently you can only buy recordings of shows by Bear Hands, Tigercity & Young Love. Exciting.

This would be great if, let's say, it was the Bowery Ballroom. For a venue so inconsistent with their sound, it's a bold move.

I went to the Morrissey show last week and the sound was impeccable, which led me to believe that Webster Hall just has crappy sound people when it's capable of much more.

Get on it Bowery Presents people!

I saw Guns N Roses there in '86, I hope I can buy that.

Linkin Park played Webster Hall early on Friday, May 11th of 2007. I only know that because I was there later that night to see Judge Jules and DJ Irene.

wonder how much the CDs will go for in Best Buy. I'd pay $10-$15 depending on the artist, hope they do more than just Webster tho.

Apparently Best Buy and Webster Hall have never heard of Archive.org, Dimeadozen, Tradersden, etc etc. People aren't going to pay 10-15$ for a CD when they can download thousands of concerts for free online.

this is factually incorrect - this is for the STUDIO only.

"Linkin Park played Webster Hall early on Friday, May 11th of 2007. I only know that because I was there later that night to see Judge Jules and DJ Irene."

don't be ashamed of your linkin park fandom, we know you were ther for them. actually, i would be more ashamed to be a fan of someone named Judge Jules.

YES, Finally!

I think 1:23 is right about it only being for the studio....

If it's for the main hall too... that would be sweet! St Vincent and Camera Obscura are both playing there soon.

@ 1:19 you are speaking the truth about people downloading stuff for free, but I think there's still a certain % of people that only do that because there's no legal alternative for quality live shows. There's still people that will buy a CD because they want a physical product and/or want to support an artist (rather than Dl'ing for free). At least they are giving fans the option.

I agree with you in principle 1:55 (I am 1:19), but those people don't exist in the kind of numbers to create a sustainable market for this kind of distribution. The cd-of-your-show market has not really ever taken off -- its a fringe thing that is a good idea on paper but is a zero-sum game in reality. For instance, the recordings of the return of Phish were not even marketable -- they gave away free mp3s of those shows.

anyway to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!

phish has made a ton selling live discs even tho they allow taping..
the free m3s were a nod to the fact that the venue they played held about 2% of the people who wanted to attend. they could have sold them for 20 bucks each and they willll be selling discs of those same shows in a year of two and will make a bunch of $$ from that as well.
i agree with your broader point, just bad example
