hi everyone,
this is the last call for signups for tree's #8+#9, the boston 8/4/99 and
new jersey 8/6/99 shows. the deadline for signups is this wendsday midnight.
remember branches must be able to burn both shows for your leaves (max. 4).
so anyone wishing to get in on these marvoulous shows just drop us a line by
then and your in.
next up jones beach ny 8/7/99 and one of the best recordings of the
lot..wallingford ct 8/8/99 recorded with nakamichi 700cm mics. this show and
the upcoming camden show are definitely the ones to add to your collections
as they don't come any better than this.
shine on

A good friend of mine hired a guy from Mexico that barely speaks any
english about 3 months ago. His english has gotten much better and we have
just found out that his all time favorite band is Nazareth. Does anyone out
there have any Nazareth that they'd be willing to trade? He loves Nazareth
so much that he named his first daughter Nazareth.
His second favorite is Journey. Does anyone have any Journey??
My list for trade can be seen at:

Its stealth, but there was no bag check and little
security in Phx. The show is well under 2 hrs, but
expect several (three maybe) encores.
There was an opening act in Phx. A brazilian band
named SiSe. Execllent lead singer with moves to
match. I used the opening act to walk around to
listen for the best sound, which interestingly, was
not DFC.
If anyone has or gets a copy of David from this tour,
please let me know. My tape was a disaster (my own
fault) and this show is too good to only hear once. I
have masters from David's 94 tour to offer up for
trade.
Good Luck.
Peace,
August

Has anyone tried taping Byrne yet this year? I hope
to see and tape him shortly. What kind of anti-taping
policy should I expect? How careful do I need to be?
How long are his shows (still under 2 hours)? One
set? Any help appreciated.
Take Care,
Delano

Hi all,
one of the true metal gods around are going on tour again.Saxon will hit the
road to support their new CD "Killing Ground" here in Europe in
october/november.
Check out the tour dates @
http://www.knac.com/servlet/Article_Page?articleID=18580
Since they play 6 or 7 times pretty close to my place, Saxon might be the
only band around that will bring this old and lazy body of mine to go on tour
again.Last time back in 1999 they were so cool about me taping they even put
me on the guest list for two shows!I'll try to get in contact with the band to
make it a little more official this time.
Anyway, anyone thinking about taping Saxon somewhere on the road in Europe??
If so, please let me know...Might be able to help you out (though I cannot
promise anything here).
Will tape Saxon on their only Open Air show (besides last weekends Wacken
Open Air) this weekend in Switzerland..
Best from Munich, Germany

After looking through that info (a long time ago! and
you've added to it since), I personally would never
use audio DAT tapes. I think I remember a poster
asking about DDS tapes vs audio DATs recently.
Cheers!

Hi,
I just got back from Taping tool at the Wiltern. The tape came out pretty well. Not my best
but still damn good. It was a great setlist with a few surprises. The show was taped with
M1>Core Sound high Ends(DPA 4061)>Att(-20db). I will throw it on disk tomorrow and be open
for trades by Friday as I am planning on taping them again Wednesday. The ONLY things I am
interested in are high quality recent Tool shows. Especially tomorrows show at the Wiltern.
I am also very interested in the palladium shows from 3-26/3-27-97. Finally, I am interested
in the king Crimson set from tonight. I had to deal with Traffic so I missed the first 15
minutes and didn't bother making an incomplete. If you have any of these please let me know
and we can set up a trade. Also, I am way too busy for Blanks and Postage deals right now,
sorry.
Thanks,
Ed

Hi all,
Summer time and all the Irish/Celtic Fests' taking place up in the Northern
parts I was hoping to find some taper who was capturing some of the
goodies. I don't have a huge list but some of what I've got is very tasty.
So anyone with old/new stuff, I'd really appreciate it to hear from you.
Seems there are very very few of us that bother to tape some of the old
traditional stuff. Your list gets mine.

I think the rules should stem from the individuals
themselves. An area called common sense.
To me, to post advertising on a newsgroup is
wrong. Reasonable minds can clearly differ on
the subject, that is true. Different tolerance
levels is also applicable.
However, just read the digest and find an opening
to answer a question, add to the environment and
place a little plug. It isn't asking too much.
We placed ads like Munson's on the digest a few
years back. A DAT-Head emailed me privately
questioning the activity. I agreed and have ceased.

For what its worth, I've used two pieces of smoke tinted (almost exactly the
same color as the D8) "static-cling" vinyl on my D8 for the last 5 years
with great success. It sticks by itself and leaves no marks or residue on the
DAT deck. And it can be used over and over. It dims the display a good bit
but its still very readable.
I've still got a bunch left if anyone needs some. Drop me a line and I'll
give you all the info. Think of it as window tinting for your DAT deck.

I'm getting awefully excited about these, coming down from Oregon for a week
of baseball (go A's!) and wrapping up with a couple nights of Bruuuce.
I haven't been to a show with just Bruce before, so I'm not entirely sure
what to expect. Anyone on the list going to be taping it? I'll have my
Sony M1, no digi-cable (on backorder from Oade) but hope to get analog from
someone(?).
Anyway, since I'll be in the bay area for almost a week I'm making a list of
things to do. I'll have about 5hrs/day of baseball and I've got the
standard travel guides, but I was wondering if anyone on the list can
suggest the best book, music, home electronics, dat, etc stores in the area?
Finally, I'm married to a caffine addict and my hotel will be somewhere in
the vicinity of Pac-Bell park... where's the best cup of coffee in the area?
Thanks,
Jackson Gibbs

I didn't get much response on this, but I've linked to what I already knew
of and what suggestions I did get at:
http://www.crater.net/taping/
I've decided to document my recording experiences and lessons learned there
along with clippings and links from dat-heads that I find particularly
helpful.
Hope this might help someone else. And if you know of anything that I
should be linking to please drop a line.

Subject: Byrne taping info... so far
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 12:26:35 -0400
I was getting too many individual requests to forward the info I
found, so I thought it would be prudent (and easier) to post to the
list. It seems the security has been fairly lax at shows so far... but
stealth with care. The shows are running between 100 and 120
minutes. Good luck. BTW, there is a video of a recent Byrne video here
(he looks wild with white hair):
http://WindowsMedia.com/previewv2/xpconcerts
(I downloaded this and have copied it to disc).

Dave has a good idea here. Those gel sample books work great, if you can
find one. If you want to get fancy, you can make a permanent change to your
D7/8 backlight by carefully disassembling the LCD panel from the top cover,
and inserting a strip of lighting gel between the panel and the plastic
window. There's only a few screws and it's pretty easy, but be careful of
the fragile ribbon cable. Different gel shades will give you different
display colors, I prefer a dark green. The only problem is that it makes it
difficult to read the display when the backlight is not activated.

Also hoping some DAT Head out there recorded the recent House of Blues webcast of the Jayhawks. It was only up for 24 hours and I missed it (did get Yorn a week later though). Also looking for any of the handful of shows the Jayhawks have done this summer in the midwest.

Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 13:51:01 -0400
Hey Now! We were recording Grisman at the Grass Roots Fest in Oregon Ridge.
The set up was 184>pre>ad500. Out of the AD was one D8 optical and one D100
coax. All was fine. Then a P1 (mine) was plugged into the second coax with
a couple of D8's out of it. At that point the D100 and the to D8'd out of
the P1 would not come out of record pause. The signal was there and no sign
of copy prohibit on any of the units. Tried running a CO2 in front of the
D100...no joy. Whasup??? So it appears the only tapes being made from this
rig was the optical out and the P1. Except, when I got home and played the
tape on the 3800, it popped and jumped all over until it got so confused
it's cleaning light came on (high error rates). Bad tracking? Next, I
played the same tape on the P1 and no signal, no nada. When I FF or RW it
would then play the info (but at the FF pace). Other tapes in the 3800 play
fine w/ low error rates. Tapes used were Sony DG60P. So the only one who
got the show from this rig was the optical D8. Any of the veterans have an
idea of wtf happened?
Secondly, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out w/ a
copy (trade or whatever) as I was suppose to spin one for the rig owner who
couldn't get unlocked. Grisman was the whole reason for being there, even
in the monsoon and lightening.

Just cuirous to know if one can actually put a 44.1 kHz/20 bit PCM file to
wav onto a CDR? Are there software or burners that will allow the extra
info to be encoded so they can be read by a HDCD decoder? Is SBM by SONY
written onto the HD when the PCM file is transfered to WAV via a digital
coax from DAT (that was previously recorded with an M1 or SBM on a SONY DAT
deck)? Sorry if these seem like naive questions but I'd really like to know
how to get more out of my new Toshiba DVD player with HDCD decoding, if it
possible to encode the 44.1 kHz/20 bit stream onto CDR.
