I would think that if maybe they put out a fucking record already interest in and demand for bootlegs would drop dramatically.
I mean, people like the band and just wanna hear some new shit....can ya fault the people for that? It has been like 6 fucking years since they put out a record, you know.
'Hey, that band you really enjoy who never ever ever put out records....interested in hearing some live recordings of new songs they never released? They are really good songs'
'Why yes, yes I am'
Just my take on things.

I saw Neil Young at the World (back when it was the World) a few years back and early in his set a monsoon took over. Mains swaying, sparks flying, chaos. When it calmed down to just a light rain the mains had either been destroyed or shut down for the night. Neil and the band kicked their floor wedges forward to face the audience and played "Like a Hurricane." Not sure if it was planned or not but it was magical.
