Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Ill be taping the october 2 nd gig at Arco anbody else want to help out with the other shows ?



You can get a md recorder for 79 bucs plus a couple more bucs for a bass roll off , if you need a link I can provide one.Taping is really easy as far as audio is concerned , and there are tons of audio master'ers lurking around htgth to help with audio mastering


" what if i get caught " ?


....put the recorder in a ziploc bag in your "ball sac".If the metal detector goes off tell the guard you have a peircing down stairs ..


"how do I set up once insinde the venue "?

....hit the bathroom up set your rig up....use a sweater with a front double pocket to lay your recorder in.....hang you mics like axl hangs a monitor ......thorugh your hat or clip onto your sweater ..


anyways , it would be great to  cordinate some dates

Count me in, I need help with equipment. Any links to equipment would be great.

Hopefully "HTGTH merch" starts to sell recording devices.

youll need to search for mics ,perferably schoeops

How about this one, I do not want to but something that is not good. Will this produce good quality flacs

Sony has really good MD Recorders, as well as really good add on mics.
Seated parts of a stadium are best for recording. That way, you can tape the mic onto the balcony or rail. It really cuts down on crowd noise.

But, I think this is a great idea.
I don't know why a band would be against bootlegging. Few fans will pay for them, because everyone loves the trading ideal.

Pearl Jam fans worked together and rounded up the best quality recording of each known recorded show, and distributed it freely on 50 or so DVD-Rs. I think GNR fans should do the same. Instead of trading, they just asked to be sent 50 DVD-Rs. Then, things started moving quickly when more than one person got the package.

i live is SoCal and have MD recorders...I will try to do my best...

I've got anything around Illinois covered.   ;D

if i get to the new york shows ill try but they may be poor as ill be trying to get as close to front standing as i dare

I'll be at all Northeastern shows... As far west as Ohio, as far south as Virginia/DC, as far north as Boston and as far east as Camden.  That should cover at least 6 shows.  :peace:

For those wanting to tape.

Any MD should be fine (HI-MD's are best though).

As for mics, spend more cash on them as they are what produces a 'good' recording rather than an 'average' recording.

I suggest heading over to sound pro's as they have a nice selection:

www.soundprofessionals.com (http://www.soundprofessionals.com)

I personally have the SP-CMC-19's and SP-CMC-20's and both are great and good value, If you have more cash to spend get the more expensive mics. ;)

Any help needed (tips, advice, etc...), just send me a PM.   : ok:

I hope someone will be covering the Vegas shows.  Certainly won't be me because I am all of 5 ft 2 and you'd have 2 hours of video of people's heads. :peace:

you can tape audio , try audio !!


its all good  , let everybody stand in your way . Just grab the audio

I'll try n' get Minneapolis covered if it's announced n' I get tickets.

i have read where some tapers use this sony mic ECMDS70P.  does anyone know if it is any good?  i will be looking at recording if the band comes to edmonton or calgary  :drool:

A guy told me that he's going to try to record Vegas, so we'll see what happens.

I think its good, but its hard to stealth as its quite big. If you use that mic you have to make more effort to stay still other you get a not so good recording.

Better to get smaller 'clip on' mics so they will clip to jacket/hat and you can still move a little without ruining the recording, as long as you don't move too much, lol.

this is one i used it for wembley 30th good recording and fieldsy used his on Hammersmith and any others he did again good recording not bulky at all and cheap

I can recommend this mic......good quality plus very easy to use (in respect of size etc) when in the gig....

do you have a cord that runs from the md to the mic so you can place it in a good spot?

a standard extension cord with a 1/4" jack should do the trick... nothing too long, 3 feet or so  :peace:

i am not sure where i would place that mic though, with nothing to clip it on to.  or would you just hold it?  and does it matter in which direction you have the mic facing?

My bad, I was thinking about a different mic.

But don't you have to 'hold' up your recorder all night with that mic?? It has no cable unless you have a line > line jack.

I still think its cheaper to get the CMC-19's from sound pro's - they're only $59 (honestly thats a bargain for these mid-level mics).

The following are mid-range mics for silly prices:

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-CMC-20

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-CMC-22

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-CMC-19

I recorded the 'Welcome To The Suana' (25/07/06) show with the CMC-19's. If you need me to upload the sample, let me know.

Don't buy 'Binaural' mics unless you are taping right next to the stack (i.e. the speakers). Cardioid mics are made for taping in the crowd as they pic up the sound from the direction you point in. Binaurals pick up sound from all directions - so in a crowd they will pick up all the noisy screamers, heh.

If you need more advice, please ask.  :)

hi simon !!!!



Thanxs for your help ,we can surely not let you european's out do us on tapings


Step up my fellow americans ,and tape some Rock concerts !!!!

yes a cord came with the recorder its 1m long and the mic just clips to your shirt thats it minidisc in pocket and your off the the PCM recording on 1mb disc its i hr 30 min so you have to do disc change which can be a pain picking right moment to do so

I may tape Inland Invasion.. but it sounds like its going to be broadcast over the web am I right?

Just tape it ,the more sources ... the less hoarding there will be

Sounds good.

I'll be filming the shows i go to. I need people to film shows so we have good dvds to look forward to  :beer:
I have a CANON ZR-45 and i one of the BOSTON 2002 filmers. The idear is to get someone from every city to film one of the shows in there town/city this way maybe we can have the whole tour archived. :no:

awesome uzi! sweet deal.

plan on going to any of the shows that are already announced?

NO i'd love to be on tour and go to everyshow BUT its not to happen. I'll be doing shows in NEW ENGLAND. Providence,RI  Boston,MA and what not. As long as tickets are not to bad. And i don't get front row tickets. i'll be filming

you gonna share those shows ,correct ?

If i film shows i'll trade for other shows that are not out. OLD tours/2006/2007

Yup, good idea mate. When you've taped something you have material to trade with other people who filmed stuff.  :)
