Many live albums have sold well. That is just what they thought way back before "Frampton Comes Alive"...ever heard of MTV Unplugged? Sheesh there are many other live releases that have sold very well. There is a strategic way to sell and release things and I totally agree they should not wait another decade for a live release but that they should wait until 2009. Then after that about three years and then two between more live releases and perhaps a that point releasing a live l.p. once a year for a few years...

And of course it doesn't take a long time to release THIS Sheffield footage. remember taht the video and audio are of superior quality and do not require that much cleaning and tinkering, whereas the old tapes need some work on'em...
