something you should understand:
The \'tapers\' for almost two years consisted of Dave Peck. Then Matt Vallo came on board, and overnight the amount of tapers doubled! (Since then it has grown to the point where not taping is extremely rare). While dave and Matt went to A LOT of shows, they did not go to ALL shows, thus, there are quite a few shows randomly scattered throughout the years that were not taped.

Also, even when they went to some shows, they didnt have any $$ to buy dats for the night, and it went untaped. This is less of a problem now, but this thread should give specific props to Dave and Matt.
