Hello Mano,
I still cannot believe what you're thinking about. If I understand right you
prefer selling your Legends video to pro bootleggers rather than offering it for
sale to us digest readers. You know there are Clapton fans that have the
capabilities to produce high class copies you can yourself offer for sale to
everybody interested.
There should be no need to get any dealers involved, you can easily recoup your
money from real fans!
I wonder what the reactions from the digest readers will be like...
Regards,
Helmar

you want to share, but rather make some money instead. if you really wanted
to share you would share, not become a bootlegger.

BUT if you tree it in a giant tree it on more than this list( there are some
generic CDR trading lists at yahoogroups.com.. bootlegcdr,for one but others
as well) than there is less buyers for bootleggers.

why? just because you paid to buy it doesn't mean you deserve to make a
profit from it! or get your money back. what is the difference if a
bootlegger bought it, made boot sold it for $350 a copy. and then folks but
it, or if you sell it to the bootlegger and make $.. the person who just
wants to enjoy the music is left out in the cold.

Oh so now you are trying to justify selling your copy to a bootlegger! give
me a break!!

so then you will be a hoarder!
>Bootleggers won't make money with this recording, MY recording,
oh so you played in that show!! it is Eric's show you happen to own a copy..
a very selfish person you are!!
and >if they do,
>the money will be spent in a right way.
in what way you get your money back plus a profit and give the profit to the
center and take the profit as a tax write off i bet.. why not just give the
entire amount to the center.. it would be a bigger tax write-off!!

Hello everyone.
I am the owner of the Legends video tape, and it is amazing stuff in amazing
quality, believe me. I spent a serious amount on it, that's right, but it
was
worth it.
I have been thinking about sharing the show with everybody else but I am not
very sure about it. Let me tell you why.
If I make this video available, sooner or later, some bootlegger will put
his
hands on it and will make money lots of money -- don't forget the fact we
are
talking about a fabulous PROSHOT recording not audience -- I don't want that
to
happen, BUT...
I suppose that is something we can't avoid. I mean, sooner or later the tape
will find its way to some bootlegger... So, if this is gonna happen... Why
not
get some money for it??
I have been trying to get in touch with people in different countries
(bootleggers I suspect) trying to get money for the video tape. I got one
response from Italy but I'm still waiting for responses from Japan to see if
they can beat the Italian offer.
I want to recover what I paid for the tape, get some bootlegs in return
and
also I would like to raise some extra money to donate to the Crossroads
Centre
-- I feel Eric should get something from this as well.
If I can't get it, then I'm afraid I won't be able to tree this recording.
Bootleggers won't make money with this recording, MY recording, and if they
do,
the money will be spent in a right way.
Regards,
manolenta@wanadoo.es

Greetings Slowhanders,
Lurking mode off....
I happened to be looking through the Bootography this evening and came
across this entry:

WoW!! My 1st EC show. Anyone out there with a copy of this that would be
willing to do a small CDR trade?

First off...
Josh... anytime you start a message with something like.... "My thoughts on
the current AOL situation..as if anyone needs to hear more
thoughts on the subject, but anyway..."
why not just delete the message and spare us all???????
And in response to SteveP's post on the BBKing Blues Fest...
I was lucky enough to attend last weekend. The weather prevented me from
catching the first few acts (Tommy Castro, Bobby Blue Bland, and Doyle II)..
but I did see Double Trouble, Jimmie Vaughan (with Louann Barton), John
Hiatt, Buddy Guy, and BB.
My thoughts....
was great to finally see DT live... but i was disappointed with their last
few numbers.. Beatles tunes. Just didn't "fit" to me. JV was good.... glad to
see him again and glad that he played a few new tunes. John Hiatt.. what can
I say? He stole the day!! I could have listened to him for hours!!
Buddy Guy... glad I finally got to see such a legend live... great
guitarist... great vocalist... great showman... but was disappointed in the
predictability of his act. Especially didn't like all the "shhhhh... i'm not
done yet"... or "shut up and let me finish". And really didn't like the
section of his act where he did a sampling of a variety of songs. The people
around me were moaning and groaning about it too... "why doesn't he just play
a whole song or two and cut out all this crap!"
And then BB... THE MASTER!!! Like Steve said... pretty much the same show as
before... but how can you NOT get into BB playing??
Anyhow... was an enjoyable day at The Woodlands... I sure needed a good dose
of live music!!

Hi, Just about the same here at the Houston show. No mention of EC during
the BB King set. Buddy Guy did mention that the fellow that was on just
before him had written the song he was going to do next (Feel's Like Rain).
All in all. a good show. Couldn't quite figure out the John Hiatt
connection, I would have rather seen Chris Duarte, but he's not BIG yet. It
was great to see Bobby Blue Bland.

STORMY THURSDAY
ERIC CLAPTON LIVE IN SÃO PAULO, October 11st, 2001
At exactly 21: 40 hs Eric Clapton and the band entered the stage and
without saying anything went into…….REPTILE. It was nice, as I said not
only Clapton acoustic but with the entire band, there wasn`t a "solo"
introduction this time. After that Clapton said "obrigado" ("thank you" in
Portuguese), said that the previous song is the title track of the new
album Reptile and that the next one, also from the new album is called "GOT
YOU ON MY MIND" - at the end that was all Clapton have said the entire
night. Got you on my mind was already better, more enthusiasm by the band.
TEARS IN HEAVEN made its job, a pop song to make crowd happy. After that a
great moment : BELL BOTTOM BLUES ! What a blues tune, it never lost its
magic, really emotional !
CHANGE THE WORLD was just like Tears in Heaven, but performed more
intensely, more thrilling, Clapton was really involved by that time.
Then we went into the well-known Pilgrim set.
MY FATHER`S EYES was introduced a bit different than usual, something like
a "reggae" style; at its end, a great guitar solo as expected. RIVER OF
TEARS was performed as intensely as it could get, just like the recent live
versions, like for example the "Antigua" Benefit Concert".
GOING DOWN SLOW was the no-working point of the night, it simply doesn`t
work live in my point of view. Still, at its end Clapton continued soloing
and made a nice link to SHE`S GONE, very good ! This one really
outstanding, pure rock`n roll !
WANT A LITTLE GIRL was also diferent compared to the studio recording, more
"bluesy" live, Clapton indeed introduced "Greg Philinganes" and then there
was a truly blues piano solo, very good.
After that, the Blues Night !
HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN worked nice as always and, after that, for the ones
like me that thought that the night would have only one blues song, the
surprise : STORMY MONDAY !!! What a thrill ! The blues lovers like me got
extremely pleased and, curiously, the crowd also showed lots of enthusiasm,
outstanding guitar and piano solos, the highlight of the night !
And then people definitely stood up : COCAINE and WONDERFUL TONIGHT, this
last one, although played very often, still works, nice keyboard solo.
After that I asked my friend : "are you ready ?" and then he replied :
"for what ?"…The LAYLA introduction riff answered my question ! People were
definitely pleased then, just as good as it could get.
Then Clapton said "goodbye" and we just had to wait for the encores.
SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE was enthusiastic, and SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
started with the band introduction and went on as emotionally as possible,
outside the venue there were people walking and singing all alone
"Somewhere…."..
What a concert !
