I know of someone taping this gig,who's been there and is very confident of getting video equipment in + filming.

Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 17:00:39 -0400 i am house cleaning and have a bunch of vhs, beta and dat units. the ones with transport problems i am trashing. several machines accepted tapes + played them, but there was no pb level or pix. i have used head cleaning tapes for years. i decided to take the covers off and and use a tech wipe and cleaning fluid to manually clean the heads. this got some of the units working again. if you have this problem, you might want to try and manually clean your heads. ------------------------------ From: avps Subject: tascam da30mk11 is a piece of junk? Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 17:04:48 -0400 i have had several of these throughout the yrs. i always got them cheap or for free. they were always close to new with very little use. they all had problems. you could not put a 90m tape in. every other time you put a 60m tape in you would get an error message. cycling the power worked sometime. i have just taken the last da30 out of my rack. of all the dat recorders i have owned, these were the worst. anyone else have these problems with this model? ------------------------------ From: CL Subject: Anyone have a field mixer for sale?

Mic2496 is designed to provide up to 4 milliamps total of 48 Volt phantom power. That's more than enough for the large majority of microphones. Its voltage will not drop below a nominal 48 Volts as long it is not asked to provide more than its specified current. If you see the voltage drop, it means that your mics require more current than it can supply -- you should not use those mics with Mic2496 unless you power them from an external Phantom Power supply like our new 2Phant. In contrast, MicroTrack 24/96 was designed to provide only 30 Volts with no load, a rather odd voltage for phantom power -- no other manufacturer that I know uses that voltage. And when loaded even lightly, its voltage drops rather dramatically.

I realize it may be kinda early to be grovelin' for this but I turned him on to Leo some 20 or 25 years ago and just happened to see that they were playing again while browsing pollstar Sunday afternoon and saw that they were playing that night, but figured a couple hours notice might not give him enough time so I didn't call him with a heads up on it. Turns out he's already had tickets for some time. :-) Anyway I have 3 fine shows that they did from the 11/02 Clone shows for trade, plus a couple of masters of Leo solo that I made here at the Paramount Theater here in Austin in 03 & 04, or a few hundred hours of other stuff to offer in trade. I don't trade or tape much anymore, but would really like to get a copy of this show for my boy. So if ya got this one, please let me know and I'll shoot you my list. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: "T. Simpson" Subject: Tickets - Me w/o You/Dredg/The Blood Brothers/Coheed and Cambria Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 03:18:14 -0700 (PDT) Hello all, I have two tickets to see the above bands on the 10/30/05 show at the Plush in Jasksonville, Florida. I will be unable to attend these shows and was hoping to find them a home with someone who would tape the show. No charge for the tickets - I only ask for a copy of the recordings in return. If anyone is interested please let me know and we can work out any details. Thanks. peace, ts http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-lifeisonlyadream __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs ------------------------------ From: "JP Flanery" Subject: IKe & Napoleon & Zappa...History!
