i also had an upstate NY taper tell me ahead of time that he would definitely be there recording, and he didn\'t end up going.. :mad:
that upstate taper was me. we originally had three of us going to the gig with rigs and unfortunately all three of us had other responsibilities come up that night.
the upstate tapers are all truly sorry this didn\'t get recorded but to be honest it\'s not our RESPONSIBILITY (it is however, our goal) to get every show in the upstate ny area documented by atleast one of us. if YOU as a fan want a show recorded, invest your time, money and knowledge into the hobby and record the gig. this is our hobby, not our job and we take great pride in it, but sometimes REAL life takes precedence over "fun."
to be honest, if at this point the band hasn\'t gotten together and hired someone to record to multi-track, then there is noone to blame but themselves when a gig goes into the air and isn\'t caught by song catchers.
you guys should consider yourselves EXTREMELY lucky you have someone as dedicated as dave helping organize shit (and also record) or else you\'d be having 1/4 of the shows taped, not 3/4.
