Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?

Stereo5, what happened to the master tapes you made? You said you got out of the hobby but did you give them away?

Tomcy6 and Slikric3000, I am familiar with tradersden and archive.org, and there is a wealth of good stuff there. I am specifically trying to find some tapers who may not have moved to the digital realm yet.

Cyclontronguy, you are right about the tape binder issues. Interestingly, cassettes of '70s have typically held up better than some brands of reels. You have fewer shedding and sticking tape issues though I have baked a cassette along the way, though far more often reels. You do often need to reshell cassettes to get the best playback.

Peter_s, did you or your friend record concerts and still have some masters?

Well aware of Wolfgang's Vault, thanks. I am specifically looking for folks on Audiogon who may have recorded concerts themselves and still have the tapes.

Best,

E

Just giving this thread a bump in hopes of finding any Audiogoners who recorded concerts themselves back in the day (or even did a lot of taping off the radio) and still have the tapes. Interested mostly in rock artists 1970-90.

If you have any tapes, I'd love to hear from you.

Donjr,

I playback a lot of music these days on my CR-7A Nakamichi. It is impressive.

What years were you taping off the radio and where? Might want to encourage you to dig into those boxes.

Write me if you're serious.
