Such a simple request

I don't stream personally, I could set up my Synology to stream my personal collection but eh. Listening to the '12 Apollo show now, I think the Boss and Isbell camps might be the best at mixing live releases currently.

I get it, but the way I look at is this. Before Spotify, I bought an album in physical form only and maybe 5 or 6 a year based on what I really wanted. Let’s say I paid 1
$15 per release that’s like $75-90 a year. I pay $10 monthly for Spotify which is $120 a year (this makes perfect economic sense primarily because my access and use of music has expanded probably 10 fold as a result).

But since I pay more for music now than before, I have my pie in the sky wished while I am currently not willing to spend 100% more on music than I currently do.

Oh I didn’t take it that way. Mostly just explaining myself.

It is a shame too. I feel like much of the hardcore Springsteen audience connects as much with this archival stuff as the Grateful Dead, but the latter has been so much more open and willing to crash the vaults to satiate fan wishes. Springsteen sticking to nugs (and Pearl Jam for that matter too) limits the exposure for what makes them truly transcendent artists.
