So I've been transferring old cassettes of concerts I've recorded...

[bbernardini]

...back from when I used to sneak a tape recorder and microphone into shows. In the past week or two, I've discovered and transferred shows by:

Teenage Fanclub
Bad Religion
Air Supply
Cheap Trick
Smashing Pumpkins
Front 242
Asia (first John Payne tour)
Courtney Love (guest appearance at Lollapalooza)
P-Funk
The Moody Blues (first orchestra tour)
John S. Hall
Tenacious D
Primus
Fishbone
Tool
Trisha Yearwood
Status Quo
Meat Loaf
They Might Be Giants

And I've got lots more to go. This is gonna be fun.

1. Courtney Love?

You have my full undivided attention now. Wouldn't wanna share that one, would ya? Big fan here. :D Purdy please with sugar on top?

[bbernardini]

2. It's only two songs, but I'm sure we can work something out.

It was her first live appearance after Kurt's death, I believe. Smashing Pumpkins gave up a little bit of their stage time so she could sing a few tunes. :)

3. Drooling.

Ever use sendspace? If you do decide to upload it and PM me the link, I'd sure appreciate it. :hi:

4. Bad Religion

*drool*

one of my faves.

[bbernardini]

7. I believe I've actually got two recordings of them.

Both in Philadelphia. One at the Electric Factory, and one at the TLA. The TLA show is nice because it was a little looser, and they did an off-the-cuff cover of Fear's "I Don't Care About You."

9. I saw them play in Germany

as part of a big music festival. damn, they are good live.

5. That's it - I'm sending you a stack of CDs from Amazon

I'd take about any of those except, well perhaps Air Supply - what the fuck were you doing at an Air Supply concert?

[bbernardini]

6. Are you kidding?

I loves me some Air Supply. Always have, since I was but a young lad. My wife loves them as well, so it was only natural that we caught a show. (This was before we were married.) We had gone to see Dave Matthews two days before, and left because it was so boring (and the sound was awful). I came away from the Air Supply show two days later thinking about how much more ass they kicked than DMB.

17. I am SHOCKED!

:wow:

8. How do you transfer cassette

I have some old music on tapes that I can't play or find on cd now I'd love to put it on my computer and burn it onto cd.

[bbernardini]

10. Well, there's a few options.

I have an Edirol R-09, which is a small digital recorder. It has built-in mics, but also has line and mic inputs. I hook up the tape deck to that, and play the tapes into it, then just transfer the files to my Mac for editing. However, you could also get software which will record whatever you input into your computer, then you can edit it with free editing software like Audacity.

11. Thanks I'll give it a try

I gave all of my tapes to my brother I'll have to borrow them back.

[Initech]

12. Primus, Tool, and P-Funk - hell yeah!

[bbernardini]

15. All at Lollapaloozas...

Although I think I have a recording of P-Funk I made at a show in Pittsburgh. I know I have a recording of Take 6 I made on the same trip.

13. Just curious: Ever get busted?

A friend of mine scored tickets to the recent Led Zeppelin reunion and debated, momentarily, about trying to tape it. But he figured security would be so tight that he'd probably get nabbed and have to miss the show.

(Amazing recordings of the show DO exist, so some folks obviously risked it.)

[bbernardini]

14. Only once, taping Barenaked Ladies.

I think I still have the middle 3rd of the show somewhere, though.

Yeah, there's at least 10 audio sources of the Zeppelin show. I think I have about 5. :)

[Westegg]

16. "I got busted taping 'Barenaked Ladies'"......

...how embarassing for you!

Cool. Grooving on a fine Zep 02 recording as we speak.

[bbernardini]

18. Which one? nt

[Westegg]

19. Sorry for the delay in reply...

...I tend to sign off early and/or randomly from DU. (Such is my life!) In answer to your Zep question, a friend sent me a copy of the Wendy's version, which I've heard is one of the best (but it's the only one I HAVE heard). I have a habit of buying Zep silvers from Japan when I'm flush with cash, and am exploring that ave. for other versions of 02. I'm not much of a trader at this point, but am working towards that goal. One of my many attempts to burst through to the 21st century, which I hope will happen some day soon.

Rock on, bbernardini!
