I have attended 23 of her concerts and would have loved to take home a permanent record of her performance. Not knowing the official policy, I never did. This was not the case when I attended 170 Grateful Dead shows. Their tape freedom policy means that, to this day, I have a record I can share with my friends who actually attended some of those shows with me. I do not suggest we should be allowed to prop extensive recording equipment onto tables and chairs. Such an idea is absurd. But I know bootlegs of Susan's performances do exist, and the notion of whether Susan and her management would be offended or complemented by such recordings has been intriguing me for some time. I would understand completely if a no tape policy was strictly enforced. But limiting Susan's fans to TIN ANGEL and other permitted live recordings is a burden obsessive Wernerheads like myself find hard to bear. I will, of course, buy all new official live recordings (if and when released) but I would also love to have a record of the shows I see, some of which I have traveled hundreds of miles to attend. If anyone knows more, please contact me. Thanks for the Believers group and especially thanks to Susan. Her music has changed my life in so many ways words would fail to explain. - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Apr 1998 00:43:38 EST From: Paul2k Subject: Re:recordings as far as i know, from previous experience, and believe me when i say that i am NOT the word of god(dess) and i do NOT represent Susan or Golden Guru, but anyways the one time i taped a Susan concert was back when i was at Amherst College and serving as the chairperson for the Concert Board and we had Susan play (9/96). I am friends with the sound tech we used at the concerts at Amherst so it was no problem with him. But here's the important part : I asked Susan and Jane Paul for permission to record the concert from the board before i went ahead and did it. I wouldn't have done it otherwise (when Jonatha Brooke and Paula Cole were at Amherst, I was denied my request and so i didn't get to record them :( ) Jane Paul and Susan said ok, as long as i keep it for myself...it was NOT to be distributed. And i've stuck to that. Well, except for three close friends who are big time Susan fans (you know who you are) and i'll probably be shot for this :) anyways, my point is that i think Susan's policy is that you should ask first before you record a concert. It's courteous and fair to her and her team. She has the right to say no for obvious reasons, so if she says yes, well, that's pretty much a gift from her and you should respect it, ya know :) charlie, want to respond?
