i prefer video to see all the antics. however, i think that good audio provides a much greater worth than shitty stealth video, or shitty video from tripod if it includes the following:
1. the band is all white, but since the lighting is bad it looks like the lil' scrappy show i went to couple months ago.
2. everytime somebody moves and turns - it looks like the Disney Light Show every night at Epcot.
3. ass-atrocious audio that sounds so bad, my old Play Skool recorder out does it (btw, i loved that thing)
4. its so bad and blurry that it makes my head hurt and reminds me of staring into a keilidoscope for 2 hours or so (sp. on the 'scope and the time depending on actually lenght of the show).
**i like video, but not shitty video -- if its shitty, its a waste of time!
Also, DMB pisses me off b/c if they are so worried about getting pimped on Ebay and being able to release LIVE @ Central Park professional quality. they feel if some lil' guy sells it -- they will lose money. bullshit!!
Their ticket prices are generally around $40-50 for the worse seat in the house.
They tour all year and their new stuff is sub-par at the most.
By looking at all this stuff, I concure that they are selfish bastards who make a shit ton of money. The end. by me. period
