Ok, just an ethical question (or not).
I have in my possession tapes (MDs actually) of a rcent Slip show. It's not listed on etree, so I'm guessing that the other two guys I saw taping had troubles (I'm pretty sure the guy I patched out of had some issues).
So I've got this show, and it's a great show, but it sounds atrocious. It's not a matter of wow & flutter or anything like that. The levels are just way too hot. Everything clips from the very first note, and it doesn't get any better.
Now I know there are purists out there. I know people will argue that the band should not run the risk of allowing these tapes on the circuit (suppose they were someone's first contact with BAM, and they sound like shit...)
I'm just asking what the general feeling is. I don't think I'd post them for general consumption, and _ANY_ other tape of this show would probably sound better. But I'm listening right now, and it's pretty enjoyable for me. I guess I think that with that caveat, they might be acceptable. I also have some feeling for consistency of record, as in any tape of a show is better than no tape of a show existing at all.
So let the world (the Slip world that is) know what you think about circulating crummy tapes.
And I'll tell you how much they rock, even with 2 db between floor and ceiling.
