Nor me. Nor do I see they enhance Meat's reputation at all, either away from here, nor in this forum. The number of times his performance is judged wanting by people who have only viewed a bootleg beggars belief. There have been tour legs I couldn't get to. I didn't seek out bootlegs to watch, and have no desire to watch or listen to poor quality ones, with people screaming over Meat like cats being swung by the tail.
And I know some people aren't able to get to shows at all, and that's very sad. But ultimately if Meat doesn't feel they do him justice why should he leave them on YT? This is a man who works so hard to give the best performance. How hurtful to see something that lowers it, on the internet for anyone to see? It's HIS performance, and his reputation after all.
