I have, for example, 4-5 excellent quality Tom Waits dvd concerts, NONE of whichn are available on dvd and, if Tom follows form, never will be. I have around 12=15 Radiiohead concerts from around the world and yes, I purchased the ONE available one when it became available. MOST artists make their money when on tour, so I also purchase, when possible, those tickets. This is all about the 'labels', who have been ripping US off for years.
