I shall withdraw my statement if I misread. The points still stand I guess. The only folk that complain about a lack of recordings are those that aren’t willing to do anything about it.
I do record and actually 3 of my recordings are currently hosted in this site at the request of Remy, which I had no problem with if it gets recordings out, even if in my opinion they only range from 1-3 stars based on my grading system.
But I doubt you know anything about me, I used to go under the pseudo of Scarlet going back to 2001, I have shared literally 1000 live recordings, contributed to various sites going back to 1996 when I was involved with FLOM.
In fact I don't think this site would exist without the things I did on an old Italian site (U2Star)
Back when I shared daily MP3 recordings and encourage open sharing.
My statement was directed at the fact that everyone should get out and make an attempt at recording even with the bare minimum recorder, then there wouldn't be gaps.
I was out at shows and trading cassettes and VHS back most likely before you were born.
The only people I see that feel entitled are many of the users here including moderators that grab and post recordings without taper permission or even worse transcode and upload without and credit.
Sorry for the rant but your statement is out of place. It is nothing personal, I don't know you either.
But my reputation precedes me in many ways, I have always been a reliable trader and have been proactive in working with tapers to actually get recordings out, I found it sad that this tour and in the year 2017 that better organization couldn't result in getting every show from this tour recorded, which for all anyone knows they have been. But it's possible a lot of old skool tapers are sitting on recordings so they aren't bootlegged.
Remy, Santos and Joyce do a good job here and this site serves its purpose and has created a niche for people that don't use torrents or have a reputation for trading.
Rant over but always mind your manners when speaking to someone you know nothing about it didn't even make an attempt to before speaking.
I didn't see any recordings you made by the way ever shared, maybe next tour you can do some organizing as well and then rather than be entitled, you can be part or a community that prides itself on contribution.
Best wishes, Bishop / Eric / Scarlet
