Live At The Paradiso and Radiant Sea, Fan Favor or Money Grab? Options

[Hoodstock]

With info now released about "Live At The Paradiso" I'm seeing this connection. Radiant Sea and Live At The Paradiso have a collection of live songs (RS has random concert recordings and LATP has parts of a concert) and two previously unreleased and unheard songs each.

Essentially they are the same type of album (with the exception of the DVD).

First of all, is this now the type of release that we can expect from Live - live material with a pair of new songs?

Secondly, why is Live doing this? They are essentially releasing the same type of album to their fanbase twice in a row. Why release them both back to back?

I know that fanclub members only had to pay shipping for RS, but do you feel that Live is doing this for their fans or they are attempting a money grab at their fanbase with the release of 4 new songs on 2 seperate albums.

I'm actually happy about both releases but I want to ask an honest question based on the connection I see between the albums.
