I really like your profile page. But you actually have that many bootleg tapes of Van & Bob? How the heck did you get those? Every bootleg I've ever listened to (many Dead and a couple of Dylans) has been of very poor sound quality, so I gave up on them years ago.

BTW, the best concert I've ever seen was Bob and Van together at the Columbia River Gorge in central Washington. Unfortunately, Joni Mitchell also was there opening. That was a good time to go drink beer!

Actually I have MORE than that, listed is just my cds, not listed bootleg dvds and cassettes. How did I get them? Well...I've always ben a "cool dude" and met folks who collected stuff, they would share stuff with me and I slowly started building a collection.I don't have anything compared to the people I get stuff from. As far as the sound quality---that varies,I only get the absolute best. The audience recordings are fantastic if done right. Take a $ 5,000 pair of beyer mics, DAT recorder and stand in the "sweet spot" and you get a recording that is BETTER than a commercial release. FReepmail me and ALLOW me to send you some stuff....if done right, bootlegs are better than commercial.When I bought new speakers [a/d/s 2,000 pair} I used Dylan 6-29-01 audience cd to monitor them.....

Unfortunately, Joni Mitchell also was there opening. That was a good time to go drink beer! I saw the three of them together in Anaheim, on that same tour. Van opened the show, Dylan closed it and there was a long intermission in between for me and about half the crowd when Joni Mitchell came on.
