What a lot of bands do is make available live shows on nicely packaged CD-R runs via mail order or as downloads, this can be done for a greater number of shows than if you went down the route of releasing a live album for the shops.
LTM was in talks to release one of the US 89 gigs. Seemed to basically depend on a yay or a nay from the Barnster. Think it's still on ongoing concern - last time I saw him he said it wasn't completely dead in the water, though was on its last legs.
Shame, would've probably been his biggest ever seller.
EDIT: Actually, thinking on, it's an absolute age since I last saw James so I guess it is dead in the water.
No doubt we'll get some crap ACR 83 China type release off of JN while BS chews it over, or better still a double cd of Section 25 last year
