Best rig for "live" music (bootlegs)

I was curious what gear people use for recorded shows, i.e. Dead, Phish, Panic etc. I'm not talking about the show where a tape deck was crotched to capture an unauthorized concert. I'm talking about bands that "allow" a taper's section. I've always enjoyed a sweet front-of-board recording from a live show. A good one is always better than the soundboard!

Back in the 90's, early 2000's, I was a cassette trading fiend! My Pioneer, Yamaha, Bose setup was all I knew, so I was happy.

Later I bought some Heresy II's. Although I loved the punch they deliver on studio recordings, the live stuff becomes pretty shrill. I've tried different tube amps to try and tame them, but I just don't think the Heresy's are the right fit for live recordings. (At least the ones I'm talking about).

It got me to thinking and I figured I'd throw it out to the A'goner's. Any former (or current) tapers out there with audiophile gear at home? What rig do you find sounds best for live music recordings?

Thanks everyone,

Bob
