Linkin Park Give Punters Free Bootlegs

Linkin Park have worked out an innovative way to give their fans a digital encore.

WENN reports that the ranty rockers will hook up with a group for “official” bootlegs of their concerts so that fans can get a copy of the show they just saw… for free.

There will reportedly be a short code displayed at their forthcoming shows, which fans can text to a numbers, and they will receive a link to a live recording of the concert after the show.

Linkin Park’s bassist, Dave Farrell said to WENN, “The energy we get from our fans is what makes a great show. We wanted to show our appreciation by giving that experience back to them.”

The company that are handling the live recordings are called Basecamp Productions. Other bands that have worked with Basecamp include Pearl Jam, Jay Z, Bono, Kings of Leon, Chris Cornell, Tori Amos, Ben Harper, My Morning Jacket, Sonic Youth, Wolfmother and Disturbed.
