Does the band allow taping at the shows?
[top] There’s no official word from the band on this. Although the fact that Ben Blackwell (Jack’s nephew) collects Stripes bootlegs would lead one to believe that they are pretty much impartial to the distribution of their concerts. In this digital age it seems tough for any band to really eliminate this aspect of performance by their fansa show has sometimes been online the following day after a show. Be weary though if you’re going to a show with the intention of taping it. Some venues can be very strict in this department and will confiscate your equipment so please be careful. Just follow the simple rule of never buying or selling bootleg recordings. Its insane that people are making money off of simply recording a concert and charging people $20 to get it from them. If there is a show you absolutely must have, wait a couple of weeks and it will find it’s way into the trading circles. Many people on the Little Room are very nice about spreading the wealth – best of luck. 3.
