I was the guy at concerts with the denim vest that had inside pockets. And in one of those pockets was a recorder of some sort.
Armed with Maxell XL2 90 or TDK SA90 cassette tapes and a mic fed through a buttonhole, just press "record".
After decades of attending concerts that I recorded and then trading shows on Cassette tape, I am now converting those to MP3.
I have tons to go through. So we'll build a bit at a time. As I go through boxes, I'll just see what jumps out at me.
And we'll rebuild the list and collection bit by bit.
As I fish through boxes, I find myself coming up with tapes labeled "1 of 2" and have not uncovered the "2 of 2" partner.
For these I have noted "Through (song title)" showing how much of the set is contained on that first cassette.
I have noticed that some of this stuff is housed on the internet too. On occasion I have opted to grab a better sounding version from there to replace something that did not sound as good on cassette.
I rate the sound quality as I make my way through shows. Remember these are live shows usually recorded on old recorders such as the Sony Walkman and the like. Something rated VG is what I would consider to be typical of attending a show and will have plenty of crowd noise. Ratings increase or decrease from there.
