Theodore Kokoros wonders:
In the early 2000s, at shows at The Paradise, you could buy ‘Instant Live’ CDs of the concert right after the show. Does anyone remember when they stopped doing that?
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

It went defunct in 2007. Everything was going to jump drives instead. It’s too bad…all it took in its YOUNG years was a GOOD MAN to run the program. The Allman Brothers recordings were the best sounding, the reddest ROESE if you will, with just the right HUGHES of ambient sound. You should’ve seen the operation; hundreds of compact discs EJecting out of burner towers simultaneously.
Pixies @ Avalon, 2004

I don’t remember getting any “Instant Live” CDs from Paradise.
But I did attend the Pixies show at Avalon in 2004, and they sold a double-CD of that performance that I got a copy of, titled: “The 12 Final Shows, December 9, 2004, Boston MA”.
(Which is hilarious in hindsight, because Pixies realized they like money and so their reunion tour has been going for another twenty years beyond that stint, but sure okay.)

Not since Boston became too expensive to do anything fun at night.
Venue dependent, but also very much band dependent

This wasn't a specific Paradise thing, it was a Live Nation thing that started in our area, but generally became a thing bands either did or didn't sign on to. The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers, they did entire tours where most dates were released immediately this way.
