08/28/2002 Entry: "Authorized Who Bootlegs"

According to Billboard:

The Who will later this week unveil The Who 2002 Encore Series of soundboard-sourced, authorized bootlegs of shows from its current North American tour. Via guitarist Pete Townshend's Eel Pie commerce site and new online site TheMusic.com, the double-disc sets will be available "within three weeks" of the given show. All proceeds will benefit "young peoples' charities supported by the Who," according to a statement.

Not that I'm going to see the Who on this tour, although I have to admit I've never seen them and I'd like to see the Counting Crows who are opening for them, but this is a great trend in satisfying fan's desire to hear live shows.
