HW: live material

[john-paul]

well i have a recording of every gig the hawks played last year and after 
tweaking them with various pieces of software all of them are as good if not 
better than some official releases. if mr brock and co don't want to make 
any money thats their problem but its seems very stupid to me. i would 
rather buy an official release and give the band something back for the 
years of enjoyment they have given me. but if they can't be bothered, well i 
need my regular hawk fix so a trading i will go
