Making a DVD costs too much. They wouldn't sell enough of those to cover the costs. CD's are cheaper and many bands do sell CD's of concerts after the show or on the Internet. But it's not a good business for the band.

Maybe you could buy them through the fan site or something. I would definately pay at least £10 for a high quality copy of the Manchester gig that I went to last year.
Yeah, but would you buy any other DVD's? Probably about 20% of the people that go to a show would buy the DVD. There's no point in doing it, it would be too much hassle. The cameras would have to be changed to get better picture quality, the sound should be recorded with better equipment, someone would have to go through the material and re-mix it and edit it... Too much hassle, it's not gonna happen.
