I always thought it would be great if Bryan had a 'Live Archive' web shop where we could buy downloads of concerts that are made available.
It would ensure that us hardcore fans can get the delights of live material that wouldn't commercially be viable to produce. He could release current concerts as the tour progresses and then archive concerts such as the RAH '74 one.
I'm a big Springsteen fan as well and he has an excellent site where you can purchase live shows from current tours as well as previous ones.
Mes Amis,
The great Scott a propose quelque chose vraiment intéressant.
Being an elegantly aged hipster, Windswept is probably not the correct person to ask about 'newish media'.
That said, as you all know, he has an opinion about all things - especially all things Ferry - and would venture that Jesmond Dene's approach to this is all a bit fire, steady, aim. W2 thinks that our hero would be much better off focusing everything on a web site that could be monetised.
Instead, we have a website that bubbles to life occasionally and then sleeps for long periods. Then there is a little bit of twatter on twitter and some of that awful Facebook stuff.
Our hero has magnificent archive material and it deserves to be showcased and curated in a way that befits his artistic status.
The upcoming 'With Strings' fandango and the Hollywood Bowl would be a great thing to share and charge for as an exclusive....for example.
Hopefully it is being recorded - the second night in Dublin certainly should have been.
Ferry on and have a wonderful summer.
a bientôt .
