I remember when Vedder and McCready were hanging out on the side of the stage at a Dead show back in the day. Turns out they were there to literally study the scene and figure out why a band that let its fans tape them could be so successful despite typically bad record sales.
Based on the Dead's model, Pearl Jam, Phish, and more all figured out it was about playing live and creating a scene, a culture, an experience that was about the moment... and recording that moment for posterity just made sense... and luckily now it makes business sense.
