Topic: How often do you tape?

[mmmatt]

6 times so far this month.
I've got three gigs in a day next friday, and 4 total for the weekend that weekend, (not tomorrow, but 8 days out).

Being sick in december really threw my avg. out

too funny... we have 3 people saying almost never and I just assumed that was the mods.

I've been off since Thanksgiving, updating my rig.  Starting tomorrow night in Niagara Falls, Gregg & Friends, I'll probably average out around 3-4 shows a month for the rest of the year.  I'm concentrating on all the old grey beards: Joe Cocker, Cream, The Dead, Allmans, Santana, etc..

ember really threw my avg. out

do you count multiple acts in a day as one day of taping or what?

i guess if ya count how many acts ive taped this year so far, lets see maybe 5 then

fridays gig is three separate shows,.... 9am, 12noon, and 8pm, and then a chamber gig on sunday.
Each gig on friday gets a set up and tear down, so I'm calling it three different gigs. I could leave it set up, but I ain't leaving a bundle of gear in an unwatched hall.

no doubt, just wondering how other people referenced it

if i setup/toredown 3 times, id call that taping 3 times too

I put 1-2 a month but that's just random bands other than the two I follow around anywhere within a 300 mile radius (Guster & Blues Traveler). Guster will usually have a half-dozen shows per tour within four hours of me, so I probably tape them at least a dozen times a year...but in a typical month, 1-2 shows. Just one this month (Bob Schneider last Friday), only have plans for one next month (BHTM & Carbon Leaf). Then again, JAson (bhtoque) keeps team Boston's average WAY up. Good god that's a lot of recent torrents, man...

im just geting started so i picked 1-2 times per month

i Hope that i can pick up some more speed

edit:
the 9am and 12pm shows are for 1500 4th graders per show!! one of my favorite gigs of the year
A Konc3rt 4 Kidz is what its called.
that many kids is an amazing amount of energy

Moke's got a festi!!!

i'm one of the 3.  but i'm w/out transport right now.  probly have to ride out the slow summer,but then the fall tours start up again, so......

A young 'un and a biz keep me down to 1-2 a month, if I'm lucky. Hitting a pretty good local show tomorrow, though....but that'll primarilly be a "what the heck" show for me.

But yeah, 1-2 a month. But boy are those shows worth it (even if they suck)!

Kirk, did you get most of your rig back?

Yeah... I have a 6-yr old, but I'm divorced, so only 2 nights a week and flexible at that.  Any of you married guys getting out more than once a month or so must have some awesome better halfs!

yep!

What is really funny is the way they handle all those kids. They bus them in from all over the saddleback school district. Then group them up outside the hall. When the doors open they file the kids in and start filling the front rows -> rearward. And in a matter of minutes they have the hall totally full, and the "white noise" level of all those kids talking is tremendous. But as soon as the lights drop, and the maestro hits the stage, they are amazingly well behaved. The concerts are based around songs like the Loony T00nz soundtrack, a touch of classical, and they generally end it with something like the ET movie soundtrack with a video playing n the background of the real movie clip that they are playing to. They do this as if it were a Hollywood soundstage, and they were recording the soundtrack for the movie. Really cool stuff! 10yr old Mokey loves it!

I bet that just makes you smile thinking about it... little jammin ja-moke bustin a gut cuz his daddy is tapin'!

I try to catch every national band that comes within 200 miles of St. Louis.  Feb is going to be a wicked month for me.  Mulex2, Moe, Keller, Sts9, JMP, Moudest Mouse.  But I didn't tape any in January.  So it comes and goes.  Lookin to do some A/B of some local stuff in march.

Probably in a year maybe 4 gigs,im not really into travelling miles and miles for gigs.I know  a gig i cant get to will be available eventually.I tend to tape all gigs i go to though so i like to think even though its only a few times a year im making a cintribution.Going to tape a couple of local bands this sunday at a free festival to test my new binaural mics.Its a shame local bands cannot be posted on torrent sites as there is some good local unsigned talent out there.

why cant they be on torrent sites?

Was always under the impression if it was a little local band from your local bar etc it wasnt of any interest to anyone.Torrent sites are mainly full of major artists,but id be happy to torrent some local bands as ive done a few.
