I don't think that we should stop trading fan recordings of shows that are released via livedownloads.com.
I don't follow your logic regarding deleting the fan recording. The 'livedownloads.com" shows are something extra that the band is releasing to fans. As a fan, I enjoy the fan recordings as they capture the ambience of the show much better than most professional recordings. Have you listened to the Syracuse recording from this tour? It's priceless, as the taper is out ordering drinks when the show begins, and then in his Frenglish he says, "that's a good one, eh?" with reference to VC being performed. If they release Syracuse via livedownloads.com, I will continue to trade the fan recording, and keep the professional version for my personal listening.
