I've had my Nakamichi tape deck refurbished at least three times. I have over 1500 bootleg cassettes...500 just Dead.I have transferred all my best stuff to CD-R.Maybe half of my cassettes. Its actually fun, couple of glasses of wine, roll the tape...the problem is you need to manually track the songs if you want to do it right.I have a lot of awesome Dead stuff, I have always been blessed with amazing connections. You would gasp if I showed you the knuckleheads I get stuff from..one guy has over 5000 Dylan concerts alone..its really crazy. Back in the day I would just get the very best tapes that were around....I have some really amazing stuff. My personal favorite is probably Tempe Arizona August 30, 1981..unbelievable sound quality{audience} and awesome set, its really great. If you want a copy freep mail me and I would be happy to send it to you. :)

Ah, I remember the tension of going to the concert with tapers... "Shut the F up, I can hear you two talking!"

One of the reviewers says same thing as me,"probably the best show that no one has ever heard of"...its true
