That little???  Even with recordings of live performances?

I don't know much about Beatles music, but as a way of example, I think 
Pearl Jam live bootlegs now total something like 500 hours of 
material.  They tour a LOT and make a point to mix it up a little with each 
show.

God only knows how many years and years of tape it would take to hold all 
of the Grateful Dead's live tapes.  I understand Phish is well on their way 
to doing the same...
