thanks to our tapers (or recordists) that are so great with the Jacket recordings
Love this read. Thanks for posting!!
Quick story to share:
1979 Hampton, Va to see the Dead. I was among the first one's in. In comes a guy with a leg cast and a girl wearing a skirt, not uncommon at Dead shows, he pulls the mics out of his cast and she lifts up her skirt and has a Sony D5 taped to her inner thigh.
Amazing what these folks do and have done so we can all enjoy the music forever.
Thanks all you peeps! <3

That is hilarious searchingbig.
I used to love sending blank Maxell cassettes plus a SASE and getting recordings back in the mail. I got a ton of Pearl Jam shows in the 90s thanks to some great tapers. It was so fun to get the mail back waiting to get back tapes that I had tapes floating around the country.
