Here's an interesting link.

Live Here Now

Is this genuine?

Sounds interesting, thanks for the link. I have checked at Abbey Road and indeed they are running an Abbey Road Live service, which obviously records shows live, burns CD-Rs from them or offers MP3.

However, since it´s a concert in the future, I will wait a little bit until I order.

That's what I was hoping for!

This is genuine. I have two Laibach CDs from these guys that are fabulous in both sound quality and packaging.

This is great. We've asked for something like this and they have delivered!

They did the live recording of the London Marillion gig last week, which was sold as a physical CD at the venue, within 30 minutes of the gig finishing. I presume this is officially sanctioned rather than a bootleg...does anyone know?

I know the Laibach ones were as official as possible. The band commissioned artwork for them and advertised for them on their official site.

And why not? It's a great idea for a tour souvenir to take home professionally recorded copy of the concert. Band gets to make a dime or two and there is no need for poor quality tapes be floating around.

Now we just need the UK venues to stop being a pain in the butt nazis about taking pictures in hopes they leech a few bucks from professional photo "permits".

It's genuine it's official it's Brilliant

All official and they're great. I have DM, Goldfrapp & New Order ones already. Saves having to bootleg them!

You are spot on about the photo situation! In Oxford the staff were marching up & down aisles telling people to put their cameras & phones down

Will any of the shows be filmed for a DVD?
Does anybody know?

I was in the stalls in Oxford row c to the left hand side and had no problems. In fact took 230 photos of the gig

I've just had mail from my Other Half, who has just ordered it for me, and aspects of the experience might be of interest to those considering ordering.

They apparently force you to create an account. One that it is not possible to delete by any sensible (or secure) method. Here, with sweating removed, is what C had to say:


So, at least we know why it's legit, but the only way to change your account is very insecure indeed, with no way of knowing that the person who sent the letter really is who they claim to be.

Update: C has e-mailed the privacy policy address to find out if the online options are just very well hidden.

I was a few rows behind you, and I did see a staff member come down at one point and have a word in a few people's ears. They obediently put their cameras etc away, and discreetly got them out again shortly afterwards. The staff member never returned as far as I could see, and as I was in an aisle seat I think I would have noticed.

In the FAQs it says that you can send a cheque or postal order.

Odd there's been no Official announcement about this. This is the Ultravox forum isn't it? Aren't we the ones most likely to buy it?

Anyway it's great news! Looking forward to it!

I was told about it a couple of days ago but any announcement is embargoed at the moment... not sure why!

Shame if they're only recording this one show. Usually Live Here Now record whole tours and you can buy the show(s) you attended.

Still it'll be nice to have a recording from this tour.

It can take a while. Laibach's Tate Gallery CD took a few weeks. I asked them if there was a problem with it and was told that the artwork took longer to clear than expected.

I guess the band will need to approve the package before they print them.

I've ordered MP3 and the CD hope the MP3 is released soon !

The last time I bought something similar was for Crowded House and it was available at the venue half an hour after the end of the concert. I was hoping for the same this time , but no such luck.

Same here with Simply Red at the Albert Hall. Had to queue up after the gig whilst they duplicated the CDs in a transit out the back!

Are we 'safe' to order yet? Will last nights #triflegate make any difference? Anyone paid for and got the mp3 yet?

M

Yep ordered both days ago and Midge said the cd will be released !

ordered download, will email when ready, bought the Depeche Mode one a couple of years back, great sound, recommend them but does take a while to get the download

Well, I see Midge has since mentioned on twitter that the concert has been recorded for CD, so maybe that's why they've been quiet about it if a commercial CD is planned for future release?

Still waiting for the download link. Had high hopes that it was available today, but no such luck...

"triflegate" - at least that's given me one smile out of this whole incident.

Midge latest tweet this morning says that the recording is available now - both from the website and at the gigs for the rest of the tour

I read that tweet too. Disappointed it still isn't after I pre-ordered the download
