I think people running the night should be able to record sets, but distribution of any sort should be under permission of the artist. Clearly they reached you once to book you, so they have your contact info.

The only reason I'm all for recording everything is that many of the best sets I've heard from people were never recorded.

i.e. the first time I saw Punk Floyd live they played the best live acid techno I ever saw, but no one was recording. Every set I've seen hit the net under their name has been fake or subpar, and in no way gave a clear representation of what they were capable of.

Ditto Kektex, Lochi, etcetc.. All artists who did very limited amounts of live sets that were never heard outside the tiny crowd on the night of.

It was always frustrating to me to be unable to attend parties due to location and hear that the set wasn't recorded. Those people were my heroes, I bought piles of their vinyl, and yet I never heard them live.

Just my lamentations.
