The Grateful Dead used to allow taping of shows, the actually had a Tapers
section where people could hook in to the mixing board. Very cool, and there is
a lot of Grateful dead music out there because of that. I have a couple tapes
of Dead Shows. I wish we had digital recorders back then, hmmmm of course a
good high quality reel to reel tape is nice, but who could bring a portable
reel to reel to a concert, no all we had was cassete decks, still, I have some
good stuff. So the concept of allowing fans to tape has been around and does a
lot ot boost a bands popularity with fans.
