Hey all!

Am going to two dave matthews band shows in the end of september and am wondering what basic equipment I can get away with for recording a show.. definetly not to trade (unless it turns out good!!) but just to see what all is involved!

Any suggestions?  Thanks!!!!!

Craig T:
Sony M1 or D8 DAT and a 7pin-to-spdif coax patch cable (save $ and buy used).  Patch for awhile, ask the tapers questions about the mics, preamps, etc that they're running.  Get a feel for the sound you like (most influenced by the microphones) then start shopping for some used mics, preamp, a/d converter.

Dang, Alex, beat me to it!  And I'm gonna agree with Craig on this one - patching is a good way to get a feel for what gear is out there, what you like, etc.  Most tapers are friendly folk and willing to help out.
