    Instant Live

    Has anybody heard of this thing called instant live?? They record the concert you are attending and put it on a cd for you to buy after the show. It's like 25 bucks. My buddy got KISS and Peter Frampton. Their list of artists is small, but it's still cool.

    Yeah bro...

    They had it when I took my 10 yr. old son to his 1st concert here, for KISS in July....

    I didn't sign up at the time and I wish I had, he had such a great time, it'd be a nice memento...

    The original CD's are selling for big bucks on Ebay (depending on the show), vice the 25 clams that they cost at the show..... You can grab copies for about 10 bucks on there though....

      I think it's great for fans if they want instant live albums of their favorite artists after experiencing it but nothing will ever compete with timeless classic rock live albums like Alive by Kiss & Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton.

        I don't think anyone would attempt that analogy Wayne, if they do, they'll be foolish...

        But for memento purposes, it's just right....

                  I was at that show too, my buddy bought the instant live and burned it for me. Gene's voice is a little off imo.

                    Kiss finally tap into the bootleggers cash cow.

                    It is a good idea, though.

                    It could spell the end for official live albums, though.

                    Which would you rather buy?

                    A CD of the gig you were at or an album that was taped on the other side of the world?

                      Yeah, and they're selling like hotcakes....

                      The line was at least 400-500 strong....

                        Tell you guys the truth, sometimes these instant live show the band's weaknesses and make the cd unlistenable. Without the visual effect you can hear all the mistakes made during the concert. With official live albums, they usually fix that stuff in the studio. It's a double edge sword

                          But you can also look at it, like I do, that the imperfections are what make live albums great....

                            BTW fellas, the company who is selling KISS' Instant Live CD's, Newbury Comics, is now selling some of the shows on their website.... I was able to get the VA Beach show last week, and it sounds great....
