Since the band has decided to stop touring it is so important to have each and every show taped. Missing a show here and there in the past was really no big deal because there was always another show around the corner. Well that is no longer the case with so few shows and them being so spread out.

Recordings of recent shows keep the fire fresh in new fans that can only experience the band this way.

It really sucks to see threads on other boards where people get excited about the band due to a recent show they BT\'d (this line-up is really clicking with non-.info\'ers) but that is soon tempered with the realization they will probably not get to see them in the near future if at all.

The Breakfast taping community is pretty much 2-4 people. In the next couple months it would behoove all of us to help those 2-4 people out in anyway possible to ensure shows are taped.

Thanks for your time.

FOR $299 turn your ipod into a full taping rig!

This is something some of you may be able to do....

with a compatible ipod/iphone/itouch the Alesis Protrack records to the ipod hard drive. pre Order @ guitar center.com - http://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis-ProTrack-Recording-Kit-580878-i1437912.gc

this package deal includes one set of mics built into the dock that the ipod slides into for running it handheld and it comes with another set of condenser mics with a t-bar that can be put on a mic stand or clamped onto something.

you can also buy it without the separate set of condenser mics and t-bar for only $199 and its available now. but i wouldnt recommend getting this unless you already have mics. - http://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis-ProTrack

The breakfast has a policy where if you record and upload a show to archive or send the show to the archive crew, the band will put 1 taper on the guest list. PM davepeck a week before the show for more info and exceptions. I am all for multiple sources. No matter how prepared you are, stuff happens. A two taper guest list would increase the odds of the show being available and no tapers will guarantee a lost show forever.

I, for one, would not be on this board were it not for the sterling work of dave, matt, chris, mike et al, so what better chance to say thanks again.

FWIW, if the band do decide to tour and come to the UK (well, a man can dream!) I now have an Edirol hr-09 and will hopefully soon also get some mics. I believe US prices work out a lot cheaper than here fro kit like this, but it\'s taken me along time to justify buying it. So further props to the guys\' partners/wives for allowing them to indulge in feeding our breakfast addiction.

How would you get the recorded music off of your iPod? Would you have to use a program like SENUTI?

dont really know. that would probably work, but im sure it comes with its own software
