Addicted To Bootlegs
July 25, 2007
Wow, I haven’t posted on here FOREVER.
Anyway my recent addiction has been finding bootlegs of concerts online and adding them to my iPod. Nothing can quite compare to an awesome rock show and bootlegs provide the live thrill. My source of finding these bootlegs is primarily this wonderful site. There are good bootlegs and bad bootlegs, but most of these one’s seem to be high quality. It’s surefire that there’s one really loud chick or drunk guy yelling that the band, that WILL piss you off. Tune them out.
As for the legal implications, um…ya it’s technically illegal, but I’m sure that 90% of you download your music for free anyway. I don’t do that. I only download free music if it’s something that just isn’t offered in commercial form (i.e. bootlegs and unreleased rarities).
Anyway there are some gems out there. I suggest the following 3: a club show by Weezer from 2000, Minus the Bear on my favorite of the tours I saw them on, and Dustin Kensrue at the Knitting Factory from this Thrice site (scroll down). Enjoy.
