live looping concerts



Hello all!

i don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but i am also a jamband fan, and
i love live concerts. One thing about a good jamband is that you can
go see them many times and never see the same concert twice...not
because of a large library of songs, but because a lot of them
improvise and play different lines a lot. Because of this (and there
are probably other reasons too) jambands are ok with tapers, and don't
mind if you record an entire concert and put it on the internet. I
know with bands like Phish and Grateful Dead they played a lot of
covers and jammed on those, and then there are bands like Jacob Fred
Jazz Oddysey (a great band to check out...they even are slowly getting
onto looping!) and Cream (well, i know they aren't a jamband, but they
were known to jam on a song for 20-30 minutes...check out live cream
vol. I and II) and they only started a familiar song's hook or just
laid out the structure at the beginning, but the song would be played
completly different then what was on the studio version, and that
would be good for fans of the band, because its a wealth of unreleased
material :)

What does this have to do with looping? well, i know with my looping
and i am sure this is the case for at least 50% of the loopers here
that i hardly ever play the same thing twice. what i play is largely
dependent on how i am feeling at the moment. So i was just wondering
if there is anywhere on the internet that shares any live looping
concerts (that are ok'ed by the band)?
