For those who came of age as fans of rock music in the 1970s, there’s a romance about the bootleg – a surreptitious, illegal recording of a rock concert circulated among hardcore fans. Bootlegs of legendary live performers of the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen and others became necessary acquisitions for anyone who considered himself a true fan of one of these rock gods.
Thirty years later, technology and a bit of creative thinking have turned bootlegs into a respectable revenue stream, which I learned during a weekend excursion with my wife to a Rob Thomas concert.
