The band can request to ebay that unauthorized merchandise be pulled.
Go to http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/vero-program.html to join.
The grateful dead is a VeRo member. I've recently found all this out
- I just had a Razormaid! LP I was selling pulled (I sell collectible
records), because their releases are 'members only' (i had no idea).
=================
If there is anything necessary as far as a statement by a band or rep
saying that
this is an unauthorized recording being sold, please contact me and I can
get that statement fairly quickly.

I know I can get them online for around $80.
but...I figured it wouldnt' hurt to ask the group here in case anyone
has just what I'm looking for laying around.
I have a 128mb sp100 standard module that will fit most laptops that I
can trade / sell to anyone who is interested. It came out of my HP
omnibook as I upgraded.
thanks all....
happy taping

Mike,
The playback eq has to be adjusted due to frequencies which are filtered
when cutting the LP. Phono preamps have this circuitry to compensate
upon playback.
Since you have already done click-removal, you might try to eq it. This
will be more accurately done in software. You will probably need a
parametric type eq with a wideband (low-Q) setting. You might find some
software out there which has this setting as a preset.
I just found some good info here which also includes an eq table (you
have to read down into this a bit.)
http://sound.westhost.com/project25.htm. If you use this filter, your
levels will have to be dropped -6db to get the same output level.

i emailed the production company way back in march, when the partial line up
was announced. a girl told me that there would be special "taper" tickets,
but she didn't know anything about them yet....
now, as it turns out, they have alotted 100 taper tickets for saturday and
sunday. this ticket entitles you to bring in you rig (one rig only she
stressed). they are ONLY available from the murat center box office...... i
called on monday of this week, and bought #'s 26, 27, so you should still be
able to get one....

Subject: taping phil
Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2002 13:55:41 -0400
Was this a show in a shed w/ the Allman Brothers Band?
If so, yes, they DID allow this LAST Summer when the 2 teamed up. Seems like
that was mainly because those shows were ABB shows first and tix had already
been sold in that respect before the 2 bands teamed up.
However, this year taping in the lawn is being strictly enforced.
I have not heard of ANYBODY getting away w/ running a stand FOB at ANY level
at any of the PLQ shows so far this Summer.
If you run a stand at one of these shows like mentioned in the post, you run
the risk of getting shut down and you also run the risk of getting others
shut down too.
Even if Phil's crew let's it slide here or there (not real good odds), you
still have all the venue security to worry about. Those folks have nothing
better to do than hassle concert goers. Some of them even thrive on it.
Do you really wanna "make their day"?
My friend Sean helped me out a few years ago w/ some tix to a show that was
sold out. I did not even know him at the time and I was totally impressed w/
his kindness. I told him so and his reply was:
TAPING IS A TEAM SPORT!
These are words to live by.
So if you are gonna try some "unauthorized" FOB taping at any upcoming PLQ
Summer shows, do yourself and the other FOB tapers a favor and PUT YOUR MICS
IN YOUR HAT. That's why it's called STEALTH.
It's best to do this type of taping w/ a friend. One wears the hat and one
runs the rig.
If you just can't swing this, then go to the lawn w/ the rest of the TEAM.
Consideration goes a long way!
Enjoy the shows ")
Peace,
D-Rider

Hello,
Looks like I will be going to see Jefferson Starship on 7-7 at DTE
Eneregy Music Theater after all.
Is anyone taping this show? Jefferson Starship, Ray Manzarek, and
Vanilla Fudge will be there. I have been told that this show will be
taper friendly or at least the bands are.
I am planning to take bring my MD gear. Are any of you folks taking
HD recorders, DATs and the like? If so I will leave my stuff at home
and hope for a trade. :)
If not can anyone give me a hint on how long the sets will be? I have
MD and would like to know if I will have to do disc changes or just
press record and relax.
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day, :)

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post....
Trey was on the Tonight Show on June 26, 2002.
I reminded all my friends, but I was a little out of it from being sick.
Our NBC affiliate is channel 12, but on cable it's channel 11.
I accidentally programmed the VCR for channel 12 and ended up w/ an hour of
PAX.
DOH!
I am just wondering who else was on the show??
If I can find that out, I can keep my eyes open for the repeat and still
catch it at a later time.....
Any help would be Gratefully appreciated!
Thanx!

Eric,
I worked as a temporary driver for 4 months at the end of last year for
FedEx Ground. I pretty much experienced and witnessed everything those
drivers have to go through on a daily basis. I can shed some light on your
situation if you want. But if you're too pissed to care I can understand
that.
Ryan
P.S. One thing I will say is that every man and woman involved with package
delivery are working their asses off every day at those jobs. It's a fast
paced environment to say the least.

The man is amazing, what can I say.
I'm aware that he performed only like a few times in his whole life in front
of people. I've read about his live shows, and I'm really interested.
If anything does exsist at all:
mp3, shn, cd trade/download is fine with me.

Subject: binaural vs. cardioid microphone
Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2002 07:29:36 -0500
Hi,
I am just getting started with live music recording and I am getting
ready to purchase a good set of microphones. I've been researching many
web sites and reviews and would like to get the opinions of some
experienced tapers. Only having funds to purchase one good set of
microphones, what type is better for all-around use, binaural or
cardioid. I will be taping in various scenarios from large,
acoustically poor stadiums to small outdoor venues. I'm familiar with
the pros and cons of each type but was interested in hearing from actual
users. For instance, I know the binaurals will pick up sound from all
directions, and from following some of the discussions here; I'm
concerned with excessive crowd noise. Cardioids will eliminate some of
this, but, how difficult are they to keep focused on the stage when used
in stealth applications? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Jim Kuehn

I happen to own a packing and shipping store, and I will second Eric's
comments. To put it bluntly, FedEx ground sucks. As great as FedEx is,
that's how bad the ground service is. It is true that the drivers are self
employed. There really is no connection between FedEx ground and FedEX,
though I'm sure they will eventually be one company.
My horror story(ies)with them began before last Christmas, when I signed up
to be an authorized dealer. To make a long story short, in 5 weeks they
either lost or greatly delayed 11 packages. They never called or made any
attempt to correct the situation. Two of those packages happened to be ones
that I sent, and one contained 20 cdrs from a trade. They claimed they had
no record of the box. Too bad for me. Another box went back and forth
between my location in Florida and the New York destination THREE times.
They refused to pay any claims. I dropped the "service," but lost good
customers due to this mishandling. So, be warned...stay away from FedEx
ground. Use UPS or FedEx.
