Just wondering how often we enjoy the actual shows...

How often do you watch a bootleg concert DVD?

my response is 2 to 3 times a week.

I watch a lot of segments of concerts, favorite tracks etc, but I dont often watch a whole gig all the way through as I am usually too busy. Sometimes when I am capturing a tape for authoring, I will watch it as it digitizes.

Trade breaks are definitely needed if you actually want to watch your collection :D

I agree with Chris, it's kinda hard to watch a show all the way through when you are limited on time. I try to watch a full show maybe once a week if I'm lucky, otherwise it's favorite tracks or performances.

Whereas I agree with Chris and Marie I have something going just about every single day. As previously stated it is almost never a full video (either full concert or full show or whatever) but because I'm usually authoring something I usually spend at least a little bit of time watching something. Actually it has been a little arguement starter between my wife and I. She thinks I spend too much time away from the family and at the PC authoring. But I've tried to cut back a little and take my time with the projects I've been working on. Makes the family happy and creates a better final project. Win, Win.

Yet that's not an option in the poll. :)

Usually whenever I get a new DVD I'll let it play through. That doesn't mean I am sitting down in front of the TV or monitor watching it in it's entirety.

I watch them as often as I can.....probably 3-4 times a week. I try to watch complete shows. Sometimes I get interupted or something comes up. Most of my watching happens between 8:00 - 12 p.m. after the kids are asleep.

Biggest problem is watching everything I have. Sometimes with all the trades coming in I get into a serious backlog of DVD's to watch......but I love it!

Listening to audio boots is much easier as I spend 1.5 to 2 hours comuting to and from work each day, so its easy to slap one in the CD player. Now if only I had a car that drove its self and a portable DVD player, I could watch a whole gig everyday :D

Maybe I will get a chauffer (bet I've spelt that worng!) when I'm rich :D

Doesn't work that way with me...

I'll be sitting next to my wife watching a tv show and the whole time my mind will be on the project I wish I was working on in the computer room.

I think a better pole question would be: what do you do more often?

1. Watch boot videos
2. Make whoopie with your significant other

Now that would REALLY indicate who needs to take a brake from trading!
