[Lonndown27]

ALEX!!!!!!!!!! DOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOD!!!!!!!!!

[Lonndown27]

THIS SOUNDS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! even better than the Complex's too "complex" acoustics, seriously brotha! Nicely done Dood! Thank you SOOO much! We need to meet for a beer and a J and discuss the most amazing band in the world and why you are the most underrated taper in the world broseph!

[Lonndown27]

what an amazing sound! such clarity on everything! hearing the crunch of that fuzz, the bending madness of the octave pedal and the sax as well! the keyboards are flying everywhere beautifully! the bass is sick nasty, the drums are INSANE! Dondante was...wow..my first Dondante and it was that powerful, haunting, brilliant and just......wow...this tape is beautiful...its fuckin perfect Zaphod!

[Lonndown27]

i cant download it yet, every time i try it fails but ive streamed it entirely, any help?? sorry i suck hahah

[jcc0065]

Dear sir,
No disrespect to the tapers but it all starts with FOH mix.  Giving full credit for sonics to the person who captures the show with audience mic's is ridiculous.

hes just being nice man.....

[Lonndown27]

Whatever Dood I don't really give a fuck about being technical but its an awesome recording and if you're upset by that I don't know what to tell you.  You think I don't know those things?  I do I'm just giving credit where it's due considering the front house mix wasn't that good from my closr proximity to the stage and so what I was saying was that Zaphod got a perfect recording so now I can hear things even clearer than they were during the show. Don't wanna step on your ToogansSnoogans but yeah....

[Lonndown27]

And another thing its ALL on the taper to capture the energy and the atmosphere and Zaphods tapes are full of that and whatever is said based on technicalities doesn't matter to me. I guess im ridiculous but would I have it any other way?  No sir

were all on your side man. i know im new here, but in my personal opinion the jackets music and the culture around the jacket is about loving everyone and getting along. so thats what most of us will continue to do!!!

[Lonndown27]

i didnt think anyone was not on my side, I just didnt get why that was necessary, that comment by Tooghans earlier. Didnt really anger me or something it was just like...Huh? Whaaa??

[Rex]

Sorry, but toogans is right.  If you like how the show sounded, you should be complimenting the guy who mixed it.  Anybody can point a couple mics at the PA and push record. 

If I took a photo of the mona lisa would you tell me you loved my art?

You know I wasn't going to even chime in on this, but you guys are seriously short-sighted.

Yes, the FOH engineers deserve all the credit for the quality of sound. But shit, at least I didn't record this on my fucking iPhone.

Anyway, glad for everyone who truly appreciates the recordings, it's becoming much more of a lost art with the advancement of technology.

Lost art?
Micing, recording and mixing a band is an art.  Micing a PA is like pointing a camcorder at a movie screen.

[Zaphod]

It's cool, I am clearly not going to change your opinion. But if you don't give 2 shits about audience recordings why say anything at all?

I am just grateful that their FOH crew is top notch and that they allow taping and sharing of the shows.

yeah why even listen to boots of bands if its not good enough for you or something? like i dont understand why people are even bitching when taping a band takes time, effort, planning and a lot of know how. Its not that simple, Rex and if you knew anything about taping, you'd know that. Pretty fucking rude to say the least when you've most likely been listening to this Vegas show or the Complex show for the last week...well it was Zaphod's hard work you're listening to.

Of course in your mind, you're gonna say No its the band im listening to! Well DUH, but someone has to put in the time, effort and skill to deliver this bliss to your ears secondhand, without Zaphod this show's not available, or Vegas.

Zaphod bro, it just shows, if you have the first night, dont post publicly on here, some people don't deserve it

[Lonndown27]

if your photo of the Mona Lisa actually captured its beauty from up close in person and somehow resembled that, id fuckin thank you for your effort in capturing it...THATS what Zaphod and every taper does....they capture it....if its not enough effort for you, next time you can be the one to tape it...right?

[Rex]

Tapers help music reach a larger audience, and thats a wonderful thing that deserves thanks.  But you can't give a taper credit for a show sounding great, only for faithfully reproducing a show that sounded great because of the band and their crew. Some people may not think there is a difference, but I do.

No offense to tapers, or anyone else intended.
