I've sent an email to Standing Ovation, much like the one I sent to The Hip last year which elicited this response:
Quote:Hi Chris;
Thanks for your message.
We have thought about that, but figured we best leave it as an "underground" endeavour amongst fans. Pretty much everyone who is interested in recording already knows that we not only allow audio and video taping, but encourage it!
Where we do take an active role, is informing promoters and venues of our policies, and to allow - without prejudice - any and all gear that fans want to bring into the venue(s) with them. This is where commonly we run into problems, in that some venues are hesitant to allow this, without claiming some kind of remuneration. It gets a bit more complicated when we play festivals, etc.. with other bands on the bill, as they have their own policies and record company issues. Under normal circumstances, fans usually have no problems.
We have - as you may already know - released a few shows that we multi-tracked and remastered (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.livedownloads.com/tthip">www.livedownloads.com/tthip</a><!-- w --> <http://www.livedownloads.com/tthip> ) from this past fall Canadian tour. I hope you take the chance to have a listen. They turned out rather nicely!
Keep up the recording and trading - and thanks for your support.
TTH
