Back in the ’80s and ’90s it wasn’t easy to find unauthorized live concert videos. Even if you found a local record store that sold videos, the prices were outrageous and you never knew what you were gonna get when you popped the tape in your VCR. The advent of DVDs and broadband internet have opened live concert DVD collecting to the masses.
