If only Fleetwood Mac did something like this it would be awesome. All the gigs are soundboard recorded anyway so they might as well use them for financial gain and please us at the same time.
Unless of course they are worried about hitting the odd bum note and don't want it released..
I'm sure Peter Gabriel isn't bothered by such trivial things.

I also saw Peter Gabriel at Birmingham in June as well as in Newcastle. I bought the Encore CD's for both concerts and already have 2 Encore CD's from the previous US tour. I love the fact that you can get a professional recording of a concert you've been too and happily paid the $25 for each double CD set.
Like you said the sound quality for all the concerts is excellent. Another good thing is that PG varies his sets so it is worth getting at least a couple of concerts to get all the songs. It's also nice to hear that PG doesn't seem bothered that he's being recorded. At the 5 FM concerts I went to last year Stevie and lindsey always said the same things between songs. PG sort of says the same things but does vary them a bit and even messes them up. In the Newcastle concert he gets the intro to Red Rain wrong and admits that he has f***ed up. Later in the concert during the band intros he pauses to tie up his shoe lace which he describes in full detail.
It would be great if FM would release recordings of all their concerts. I can't believe it is expensive to do and would be a real money spinner.
