Were any of you taping concerts circa 1972-88?


I would love to connect with anyone else who was taping on cassette or reel to reel in the era using good gear. I am mostly nterested in rock (I suppose "classic rock") artists. Not so much the Dead or jam bands.

Because the gear was expensive, a lot of early tapers were hi-fi enthusiasts so I figure there could be some lurking here.

Yes

But many of our recordings were of that era where tape binders were hydoscopic.

TDK Audia and Scotch professional were just awful in that regard. Once the deed was done my big TASCAM didn't have the horsepower to drag that tape across the heads.

Baking tape gave you a single shot at it, frequently with diminished frequency response.
