Album production
editConcert Live signed deals with record companies allowing them to create and sell the live recordings.[4] Live album sets were available for fans to pick up after attending a concert, recorded from the concert.[5] Shows were recorded on the night by sound engineers and the extracted audio was burned onto CDs, while the performance continued. The result was a live album, featuring pre-made artwork and covers.
