[Slowhand] Rainbow Theatre 1973 LATE SHOW

[Aebhric Coleman]

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your comment. Sorry, it's true I didn't perhaps make it  
clear enough that I simply copied the description about the CD from  
the website, so the bit about the early show release is the site's  
error.

Otherwise, maybe it's not a massive rarity, but it's a boot I  
personally never had and it's a pretty high quality soundboard. While  
I know a lot of us are regulars on dimeadozen.org and other similar  
torrents sites for live recordings, I realise perhaps a majority of  
readers of SD do not use bittorrents, and even maybe a lot don't  
trade boots. So it's a somewhat rare occasion to find such a thing  
easily downloadable on a website, no converting necessary (flacs, etc).

Which prompts me to ask a question: is there a way to conduct a poll  
to see how many (%) readers of this digest use bittorrent sites,  
versus trading by post, versus buying boots in shops (hard nowadays),  
versus not getting access at all to unofficial live recordings? Are  
we a high-tech bunch generally? The activity of the Yahoo Clapton  
Boots forum suggests that still a huge amount is passed around by  
post, and a lot don't have DVD burners, etc. Despite there of course  
being some genius and generous tech wizzards preparing the stuff in  
the first place for our listening pleasure (big THANKS to all you out  
there).

As live recordings are such a staple to us EC fans, it'd be  
interesting to have an idea of what all our habits are.

The 6 tracks on the original release came from both the early and late
shows.

So what is special about this release? The whole thing has been  
available
for years.
