(TV) Mics Not Needed

["Casey, Leo J" <CaseyL@VOLPE.DOT.GOV>]

My source (T.V.'s cousin Lois) tells me that as in recent 
'rock' shows at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, there will be 
a very large number of cd burners *dynamically* set up inside 
Irving Plaza making cd-rs of Television's set (using the feed 
from the band's own mics) even as the band plays.

These cd-rs will be available almost instantly as the audience 
files out after the show(s) for a nominal fee. 

As a special bonus those attending Saturday night's show can have 
their cd-rs autographed by Verlaine who will be in the lobby almost 
immediately after the show--as soon as he finishes off a few cigs 
backstage.

Instant live CDs of a concert? Testing to begin in Boston

By Steve Morse, Globe Staff, 2/7/2003
Experiments are rife in the music business these 
days -- and Boston will be a test market for one 
of the most novel of them. Clear Channel Concerts, 
the nation's largest concert promoter, has ambitious 
plans to record live CDs of its shows and sell them 
to patrons within five minutes after those shows end. 
Clear Channel is targeting Boston as the first site 
for the new plan, according to sources within the organization. 


Multiple CD burners would be brought in, and the live 
CDs would probably sell for around $15 in the same way 
that T-shirts and other merchandise can be purchased 
after concerts. No one knows what the demand would be, 
but the project is expected to begin at club shows within 
a couple of months, then be refined and work its way up 
to the amphitheater level, though that may not happen 
until next year, sources say.

Clear Channel spokeswoman Pam Fallon would not confirm 
or deny word of the CD burning and sales plan. 
''All I can say is that we're working on a series of 
initiatives in the next couple of months,'' she said.

Clear Channel vice president Steve Simon, who works at 
Cambridge's Clear Channel office and has helped manage 
the platinum-selling band Boston, is said to be heading 
the project.
