Hmm, I don't think dozens / hundreds of people are recording every show in one way or another.
Sure, there are a lot of snippets made with digital photocameras and cell phones and some mp3 recordings made with ipods and all that but most of the times the snippets are all there is. Those recordings are most of the times very bad quality ones and far from complete..

Right... but regardless of their quality and length, they still count. A short, bad quality 8mm video from 1977 is something we keep track of, so it should be no different for something from last year.
[QUOTE]Decent complete and lossless recordings made with decent equipment aren't there from every show. Certainly not dozens and certainly not videos. Talking about videos: I know QPR shows from wich nothing has surfaced yet. Not even a bad cellphone video snippet.[/QUOTE]
Interesting... but I still maintain that in general there are exponentially more recent recordings out there, thus they're far more difficult to keep track of. The average person these days has a cell phone or a digital camera with them at a concert. The beauty of keeping track of recordings (and even pictures) from the 70s and 80s is that only a few brave people managed to bring their cameras and recording gear into the venue.

Well, I greatly appreciate the encouragement. Maybe... some day one day... !
