None of this is true; he held some of these shows in Southern New Jersey (for Philadelphia fans), in Boston, and in other places. As part of one of his New York audiences, I can say that we didn't know a THING about the fact that he was taping his music live. I don't think a performer has a right to inflict such bullshit on an audience; if he wanted to have quiet he should record in a studio. -- Henry /
