Yeah, I don't understand why FM doesn't do something like this. To me, this would be easy money for them and an incredible treat to fans. It's
win-freaking-win.
Record two or three rehearsal sessions, make some limited edition CDs, and sell them for $15-20 on the site....Crack open the vaults and dust off the Hollywood Bowl soundboard from the Tusk tour and sell it...Gather up the outtakes from Tusk, Mirage, and Tango and stick them on the official site as downloads. They've got a ton of options.
I don't know if there is another band out there with so many fans
ready and willing to shell out huge amounts of money to them, if only the product were available.
(Not counting overpriced meet and greets, of course.
