my startup idea that someone else should totally build:

Sell a soundboard recording of the show I went to for $25 on the spot as I leave. I went to the show so I now have an emotional connection to that particular performance. Will this get shared? Sure, but the majority of people downloading bootlegs own the artists' oeuvre anyway.

At least for Springsteen's current tour, this is almost the case (modulo a couple of days). I think livedownloads.com is the backing entity.

The fact that larger bands don't up sell a drone video of each show is just leaving cash on the table. I'd happily pay $30-$50 for a video recording of every show I attend.

that's awesome, thanks for the link!

Pearl Jam did it except for the venue I went to. I must say I was a bit peeved about that.
