I hope one of those 10,000 concerts is 10,000 Maniacs.

There was a guy in Houston in 80’s and 90’s at a lot of shows videotaping the concerts. He had a list of available tapes. From what I understand he had the band’s permission.

This is great. Years ago I found a site that had concert recordings for grateful dead, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and tons of other artists. I got to appreciate music from artists I never would have otherwise listened to (Elvis concerts rocked... would have been amazing to see)
