I don't want to rain on anybody's parade here, but this is the
second time in the last few days that I have seen someone post
about buying videos at record shows, and the videos they bought are
almost all readily available from traders. If you want to spend
money buying these things, by all means go ahead, but I felt I had
to say something for the sake of the "newbies" who may not realize
that there is a lot of material readily available. This particular
show, the "Rockpalast" show from Germany, has been on at least 75%
of the trade lists I have looked at. And it is good show, no doubt
about. The Cleveland and Pontiac shows are also on most trade lists
I have seen.
