...and is hidding those recordings in his church?

DG's sound engineer Graham recently said that "David Gray likes to record all his live shows" .

Crowded House are recording their concerts also but they offer these recordings to their fans to buy!

Have a look:

It's common knowledge that DG records his sets, and a lot of his show are available on here  http://www.archive.org/index.php 

Those recordings on archive.org are great but recordings actually taken from his soundboard would certainly be something else. Besides we would be able to get more gigs then.

I really like the way Crowded House are handling this. DG would have control of the sound quality (I think he would like that aspect) and his fans would be able to get the very gig they have been to. And for myself, of course I would buy them all

I think this is a brilliant idea. Somebody on here mentioned a band who even sold the cds right after the gig. I just can't remember which band it was though. Maybe somebody can help me out here, please?

Didn't Pearl Jam do that for awhile?

If you don't mind some gal whispering "montreux live jazz" every few minutes the recording of his montreux gig of a few years back is exceptional quality.....

and while there is a bit of leg work involved (ie the quality of the gigs vary greatly) there are some very good ones on archive.org - the point gigs in dublin come to mind off the top of my head

Even if DG offered periodic live discs similar to what DMB does that would be great, but right off the sound board of the show you went to would be awesome.

I second that. More here:

To give an example: today Crowded House offer their fans about 30 of their live shows to purchase per download MP3, flac or CD.

Even Crowded House release not all their live shows. But anyhow they are offering 30 of their shows! That's not bad. I'm quite sure, that some of David Gray's live recordings even according to him are good enough to offer to his fans!
