I think this is fantastic.
While Lars Ulrich is kind of a punk when it comes to not sharing his music, Metallica does have a "Taper Town" at their shows where an area on the main floor is sectioned off and ppl can bring recording equipment and tape their shows live. I believe the Grateful Dead started doing this early on in their career. The Dead never made much off their albums but always were always top at selling out shows each year. They PLAYED for their money, always touring, and they are still truckin. Isnt that what musicians are supposed to do?

I cant wait for this festival.
