* now is it just me...or is this the kinda thing Prince should be doing?
i've said it b4 i'll say it again...sell the shows thru the site,give NPGMC members a discount,& everyone has SB shows,P gets paid,everyone is happy.
Bowie is doing it,now Pearl Jam r doing it...itis a brilliant idea,

what are your thoughts ?

I think Phish are doing something very similar too, right?

not sure,not big up on Phish,but lotsa bands r doing this kinda thing these days.

if Prince did this,he wouldnt have 2 whinge about Bootleggers & we would have Soundboard gigs,which would be wild.

There even was a band/artist who sold empty videocases before the show, and after the show, you could go pick up the videotape of the show.

I say that this is what he should have been doing all along.

Prince should/have done alot of things, but he never will...
