Not a weed-induced thread, I swear
Wouldn't it be fucking awesome if you could buy the sets the DJs played on some night directly from the club?
Like suppose you missed a really good set for one reason or another (going to see another DJ, couldn't make it at all, etc), and you go to the club next week, pay like $10 and buy the recording of the set from them. No cover art, maybe even no tracklisting, just a simple CD-R recorded straight from the mixer. It's the closest thing I can think of to being in two places at once. Plus, it would be soo fucking wicked to be able to relive some of those epic sets you hear live.
I know all the problems with this, like copyrights, DJs being bitches about their sets being recorded, etc etc, but imo this is what's holding back music - all that legal crap when all I wanna do is just hear a really good set again, or for the first time. This is why I say "wouldn't it be awesome" cause I realize there's about 0 chance of what I'm talking about actually coming to life.
P.S. This is done in other places. One Nation in UK for example has a lot of their nights recorded completely, and sold later as like 6-CD packs. It's a lot of money though. Example: http://www.catapult.co.uk/?category=15&product_type=90

That would be incredibly wikkid.
As you said, there would be a lot of copyright problems with this, which is a shame.
I would personally pay up to $10 for a CD to have a keepsake of an amazing night.
I would have loved it if they recorded the sets of the DJs at WODNB.

thats y i always take videos, since thats the closest thing ill have to reliving that experience.

that's a fantastic idea!
though I smell more piracy - people making copies and re-selling the sets for more, or just putting them online available for free (not that I would mind)
but the end result would still be great - sets in clubs could be so mind-blowing, I would love to have some of the memorable ones in my collection

live sets should be given away free, never sold. they are great tools for exposure of the venue and the artist. i personally think every club should record their sets and make them availble for free download on their website. share the love and music!

I agree, but at the same time, an artist should get some extra revenue if they spun a GREAT set, as many people would want to buy that set after. More of an incentive to actually try to spin a great set imo.

I'd have to agree.

Fuck I wish I could find the article. I actually read in DJ Mag about how Sasha (I think) was doing that. Not in 6 packs though. They would have the CDs ready by the end of the night usually and sell them for like 10 bucks.
