Michael Stipe often talks about a performance being a moment in time that the band and the audience are sharing together. It is because each show is a unique moment in time that the work of bootleggers is an important historical record, not only for those who were there but also for the countless fans that weren't.
UPDATE: 2010-06-30: My poor neglected website, you'll get some attention soon.
UPDATE: 2009-04-08: I have added a few more MP3 previews to the Bootleg Guide. I will look into a new player as there are currently issues with the one I'm using. Song will play and stop when you first press the button, they will generally work on second try and play the full 45sec file.
UPDATE: 2009-04-05: As a test I've added a MP3 samples to both of the Manchester shows on the Accelerate Bootleg Guide page to see how it goes and am planning to add more for other shows.
UPDATE: 2009-04-04: Added screengrabs to three more DVD's thanks to Karin from Germany.
Notes: This cover is for Up's recording of the Prague show, at the time this was uploaded there was only an mp3 version of this show going around. This version also includes pb7 recording of the soundcheck that was posted on murmurs in mp3 as well.
Thanks to ivi for the use of her fantastic photos from Prague. You can check out more of her work at her site: iviart
