I started recording shows with my friend's portable radio shack recorder and single handed dual mics. I later bought my own sony DB 3 and sony clip on mics that I attached to my glasses. I'm 6' 1" and in my boots a little taller. I would try to get right in front of sound board. I recorded a lot of 80's and 90's rock. Those shows still sound decent.
Bootleg albums. Favs and stories
Back in the day a buddy named Roddy and his overweight wife would sneak in a Nakamichi tape deck (under her dress). People were very cool to each other back then, so he'd pass the extra long mic cables under the backs of their seats as far
apart as possible. Everyone around us knew what was going on.
I only joined them on one occasion, a Jackson Brown concert. I've lost my
copy over the years, but as I recall, when the mics were still in his hands, I asked
him something. He hushed me up. So my voice is on it to this day.

Went to England around 1988? or so. There's a big Saturday market which had quite a few music vendors. I located the Bootleg seller. Picked up some Joni Mitchel, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Blondie. Good times...
