Taping (video/audio) BBQ shows |
|
Are the artists okay with this? I've seen a few mentions of video taping
one of the BBQ's. I'll have to wait till the 2nd leg and Oct. before I get a chance and I only have a my daughters cheap camcorder. Wish I had
a sweet audio taping rig but i'd have to hock half the cd collection to buy one.

I don't think they have any problem with it...........both BD and Squid were taping at the MN Q and no one said a word. Of course they cleared it with the promoter first

Now if these audio and/or video tapes got converted to a digital format and wound up on file sharing services, then the artists would object, right?
Or is it only the official releases?

The contract that we, the promotor's sign states :
(
Restrictions: The promoter agrees to prevent broadcasting, recording and/or reproduction by radio, television or any other device of the artist's performance or any part thereof unless prior permission of the artist is obtained. The promoter further agrees that, except to the extent otherwise specified in this agreement, the performance by the artist shall not be in conjunction with any other performance and that no assisting artist shall perform without the prior written consent of the artist or his agent. This provision shall not be deemed to apply to 'opening bands' and that responsibility shall be within the sole discretion of the promoter.
Since it states that we have to request permission, I will, since I did read the contract.
Normally, I would use the "Better to ask forgiveness" principle, but with my name on the contract, I don't want to go there.

Thanks. I'm sure if DA, Terry, Lost Dogs, Mike Roe, et al encouraged fan taping and trading, like, say The Dead or Phish, I would have seen mention of it on this board or the web. I know they don't want the officially released albums shared on file sharing systems (the napster replacements) because they hope to reissue the OOP ones someday.
I've seen many different view points on this topic. One record company exec said something like 'Sure, share it online. If you can't give it away, how do you expect to sell it'. But I think he was talking about artists like Eminem (and of course there aren't many with selling power like him)
who sell millions of copies of albums even though the songs are widely available on file sharing systems (maybe 50% of the teenagers in the country allready had the mp3s???).
I personally think sharing live shows will increase the demand for the offical releases, but I know working musicians are deeply divided on the subject.

Per JT, we were allowed to record the concert and distribute it to the attendees. Unfortunately, the recording part didn't actually happen at ours.
