On April 4, 2006, we received permission for shows to be hosted at the Archive:
Drew Emmitt Band Taping Policy
We encourage audience taping at our concerts. Soundboard patching, stage
access, and video are NOT allowed, and at no time will audience taping
be allowed to interfere with the enjoyment of other concertgoers, or
the regulations of the venue. If DEB is playing in an event, which
features multiple bands, the taping policy of the headlining band
and/or the festival event will dictate the taping policy for that
concert.
Please be prepared with battery power and all adapters or cabling
required to record. Power or other auxiliary equipment will not be
supplied. Please arrive early and always respect the wishes of the
venue, band and sound crew.
All taping must be for personal and non-commercial use only. No profit
is ever to be made from our live shows. Fans are permitted to post our
shows on the Internet, or trade shows with other fans for an equal
amount of media, and no money may exchange hands except for postage
required to send the media if applicable. DEB reserves the right to
seek legal remedies against anyone that is in violation of this policy.
Thanks,
Christine Stauder
On June 13, 2007, Christine clarified further:
We recently received (and subsequently removed) a soundboard recording of the Drew Emmitt Band that had been uploaded. The taper mentioned the clause in the band's policy which defaults to the taping policy of the headlining band or the festival. We had assumed that this clause was in place to account for taper-unfriendly circumstances but see how it could be interpreted differently. Just to be on the safe side, can you confirm?
this is fine, if they have a soundboard copy that is ok to post, the band just does not have a sound engineer on the road with them at this time so it is not good for people to come expecting it but I am ok with them trading it if they have it for now.
