I'm in North Louisiana. Thanks everyone for all the replies and suggestions. I might go with the cheap-o Zoom for now. Hopefully I can borrow some items from Gr8tful98 and make a decent recording (let's talk, JD). I'll upgrade to some nicer equipment in the future if I enjoy taping!

JJ Grey and Mofro allow open taping and are some super nice guys.  There will likely be at least 1 or a few tapers at the show.  My .05...pick up a decent deck that you can patch into and a handful of patching cables.  If you'll be wanting to record in  mostly open situations, you'll likely find people helpful and willing to let you patch.  You'll get a chance to hear a variety of recording setups, see how  to setup, and build a valuable base of information to help you decide down the road if you wanna plunge in further and what gear really floats your boat.  I started this way and found it to be the best route for me.

Whatever you decide, enjoy taping!

I know about Mofro's taping policy, but I am sharing the device with my mom who wants to tape in a stealth situation. She's actually paying for it. We have just decided to buy the brand new Tascam DR-07 mini for $200 with free $69 mics at http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/TAS-DR-07. We want to be able to place this tiny device in a bra!! Yep -- that's right!! You guys have a woman on the board! Thanks y'all for the assistance!

damn.
Damn, what? Are you a fan?

GREAT choice on the DR-07 over the zoom! I assume its built in mics will be as good as the DR-1 which are well regarded and I doubt that you'll have the problem of not being able to turn the levels down low enough to avoid clipping at a loud show (which is a major fault of the zoom).

Note- Josephine is a very prominent member here-up to 5000+ posts by now. So you & your mom have company. That's pretty cool, starting a taping career with your mom. I bet at least one of you gets hooked.

Probably b/c he doesn't like JJ Grey. My girl was talking about possibly going to the show, but it is during the middle of the week and its the HOB, which is the suck. He has traditionally played Tipitinas, but I guess he is now on the HOB circuit.

Yeah, I guess it might have something to do with the HOB featuring JJ Grey & Mofro for their radio hour, and whatever other praise they've been layin' on 'em. They're my absolute fave band. Can't wait to see them in my home state. And soooo excited to become a taper!

I just completed my order for the DR-07. SP is expecting the shipment from Tascam by Friday. I hope to receive it by next Tuesday, then will try it out Wed and Thurs!!

Wow, now two ladies on the board :-) Cool!

There are a few more than that, but always nice to see more!
