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.

I gave away all the tapes when I sold the Teac deck. If I remember, the guy was going to use a bulk eraser and record over them. I had a Sony DAT recorder in the early 90's and made maybe 20 tapes with it. I didn't use it for over 15 years, and when I powered it up to sell on Audiogon, it didn't work. It went to the recycle plant and the tapes were all frozen as well!!! They went into the trash.

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,

Butterking - once I joined forces with my friend, we did all the taping on his Nak. He had the masters, I the first generations. But I mostly listen to livemusicarchive for shows thesedays. I gave away many of my tapes.
