 In the first UK deal of its kind Island Records
and Keane have teamed up with Concert Live to sell fans a CD recording of the
gig they have just attended within ten minutes of the show ending.
Concert Live in partnership with
Tunetribe.com have made it possible for the fans to exclusively buy the gig
they have just seen, so they can relive the concert experience when they get
home. Recorded, mixed and mastered in
real time, the CDs are produced straight after the gig providing a unique
momento and a collector’s item.
On the Keane tour the run of ‘official
bootlegs’ will be limited to 1,000 units for each gig. This is another exciting way of presenting
live music. James Perkins, MD of Concert live says: “It
is very exciting to be working with Keane on this tour as it provides fans with
a unique,strictly limited edition, collectible product and a new and exciting
way of consuming live music. It is a great step forward for the industry and we
are lucky to have a forward thinking label supporting the mechanic.”
Nick Gatfield, President of Island Records
Group, added: “I’m delighted that once again Island Records Group are leading
the way in embracing groundbreaking and innovative ways to deliver music to the
consumer. Recordings of live shows have
always been available but often of poor quality and from dubious sources. This exciting new initiative will for the
first time deliver a premium quality, legitimate live recording.”
Fans can order online at
www.concertlive.co.uk before the concert, from within the venue at the concert,
and post concert, choosing to either pick up after the gig, or have the CD sent
via mail order. In this way, the product is also available for those who cannot
make the concert, but would still like to hear it.
