I know where your coming from. I have done about 9 or 10 shows, its a mare at the moment.
I am getting serious withdrawal!!

Going to see Ocean Colour Scene in Keighley July 17th, thats all I have for the forseeable :-(

[Humbug]

Why not tape some smaller bands? I mean, some of them have got to make it!

Try typing in your nearest city into the search engine on:

and see what comes up..

Funny that.
I used on that on Friday, went to see a local band called Clearway. Wasnt impressed. Supported by the ex lead singer of the Inspiral Carpets. It was just a pub, i would have felt a complete wanker stealthing in there, it was so open it would have been completely obvious, and everyone would have thought what a tit!
It didnt enjoy it at all, I think I need to see bands where I know at least one of the songs.

[Humbug]

Some fair points, though:

As a rough guesstimate:

90% of small bands suck (or are not to your personal taste)

Of the rest:
9.9% will never make it but are good/great anyway
0.1% will make it and if you're the one person that stealthed them before they were famous, kudos.

I've taped in small bars and even pubs. If the band is small enough they may even like to hear how they sound on CD so you can ask them beforehand.

Anyway the whole concept of stealth is that nobody is supposed to notice you doing it!

I have kept an eye out for some who might to be to my taste ....

I always need the crowd to get away with it. I think it would be impossible to stealth in a pub? Your mics sitting there, getting your levels right etc ... People would notice, surely?
Maybe I havent perfected the art of stealthing yet ?

anyone taped at club vega ,copenhagen Denmark?

[Norm]

Maybe I am just rubbish!
I would see your mics surely?
What about getting your levels right, dont you check?

I know, I am a beginner ..
