Dan's Secret Album, Request Options

[Hoodstock]

I would like to request "Dan's Secret Album" that was apparently offered to some people when he sold the site. From what I understand it contained:

• Overcome (full band studio version)
• Still Aroused (studio version)
• Walk Into This Room (Ed solo)
• Where Fishes Go (with guitar intro and alternate ending)
• Deeper (alternate version with sitar)
• Feel The Quiet River Rage (with alternate ending featuring a sitar)
• Sun (with a few alternate lyrics and choir in the middle)
• Dance With You (with a few alternate lyrics)
• Sparkle (with a few alternate lyrics)
• Meltdown (with a few alternate lyrics)
• Voodoo Lady (unmixed demo version)
• They Stood Up For Love (unmixed demo version) [big bang version]
• Don't Wait (unmixed demo version)

If anyone actually has it, the songs would be appreciated!

The thing is though, people trade tracks behind the scenes. That's a fact. In order to get the rare stuff, you need to have OTHER rar stuff to barter with. If you released all your stuff, you'd have no power. Selfish? Maybe, but it's how it is. In addition, if everyone released all their stuff, it might piss off the band. Keeping it all behind the scenes means that it's slow to get around, but it WILL eventually grace everyone's library. I think, anyway.

But yeah, non sharers are stoooopid. Anyone who has, say, Overcome (full band) and isn't sharing it is truly a sucker of cocks. *cough*

I understand this point completely, however if it was entirely 100% true then it should be pretty easy to make that trade. I attest through information garnered through PMs that this "bartering" isn't achieving easy and simple success. I'm probably not up to snuff on what's realistically available, what has Dan's Secret Album been traded for? What has been gained? I would imagine at some point, anyone with a keen interest in collecting rare +Live+ content they'd be making their way through the internet wanting to trade as well. If you find a person sitting on rare content, that isn't a fan of the band, I'd wager he's not all that interested in trade but rather some sort of monetary gain.

Sharing it on fan page isn't going to get it put on the radio. I'm sure there's no discernible difference to the band if a very small portion of their fans get a few rare tracks.

Exactly, a small number does have the the tracks and it doesn't matter.

About the radio... It is obvious that Live doesn't care about radio play anymore and if it is not for commercial sale it can't hit the radio anyway. Radio is a really poor measure of a song btw... Have you heard the new Panic song on the radio??

Do you think that if every member of this messageboard that has made at least 1 single post had these tracks, it would matter to the band?

I think such assertions are grabbing at straws.
