 It's a nice thought, but treeing commercially available material isn't a
very good idea. There's certainly no one to stop anyone from doing this,
but I know I personally would object to such a tree, and I think a lot of
other traders and tapers would as well.
 How about finding a Diamanda Galas show to tree instead? There's got to be
one out there that was taped. Diamanda's voice may not be everyone's cup of
tea, but Jones' bass work was incredible...very powerful rock grooves on
that album. It would make a nice prologue to Jones' upcoming album and tour
for his fans.
