Radiohead Helps Fans Make Crowd-Sourced Live Show DVD

Posted by Soulskill on from the welcome-to-the-riaa's-hitlist dept.

Kilrah_il writes "After having a go with a Name-Your-Price album and an open-source video, Radiohead is again breaking new ground, this time with a fan-based initiative. A group of fans went to one of the band's shows in Prague, each shooting the show from a different angle. By editing it all together and adding audio from the original masters provided by the band, they have created a video of the show that is 'Strictly not for sale — By the fans for the fans,' adding, 'Please share and enjoy.' Can this be the future of live show videos?"

    ...but damn if stuff like this doesn't make me want to go out and buy some of their albums, even if I just give them away, to support what they're doing.

    So this is exactly like the making of Bon Jovi's video for _Bad Medicine_, then?

    They could raise a fuss...
