I talked to a big Grateful Dead fan the other day and he told me that they had special areas setup for anybody who wanted to record. They were happy to let people share.
Yup, same as Phish.
I used to buy VHS tapes of live Phish recordings from the person at the show. VHS because of the fidelity I guess.
Yep, the tapers section. At some shows you could get a soundboard feed.
I was a teenager at the last show I was at, and I always envied thise guys.
