hey since i havnt seen dave live yet and some of you already know that, hears a stupid question but i need help with it since im a newbie, i know that taping for dmb shows has been one of the most popular things (obviously) esp cuz a lot of you guys talk about all the time and stuff, but could anyone tell me how to do it? and also about tape trading?

peace thanks

unless you're willing to invest in thousands of dollars in equipment, don't expect to tape a show. if you already do, you go to the concert and you tape

no patches, no power. as for trading, please check out the stickes in the Trading Depot.

The more popular the venue, the harder it is to smuggle a recorder in.

Like Brock said, its going to be very expensive if you want to get into taping. If you feel very strongly about it and want to invest go ahead. But if not, theres tapers at every show, usually a day or two after the show it will be available to download off the internet (if you have highspeed) if not you can always ask someone to B&P it for you.

I believe I asked this question when I first started on here and they said it would probably be $2,000 - $3,000 investment.

you don't smuggle recorders in. Have you seen the rigs some people bring in to record some of these shows? they take up tons of space.

Recording is allowed...? Why would you need to smuggle a recorder in?

If he's talking about video recording, then you most likely would need to smuggle it in since it's against nearly all venues' policy and maybe even DMB's?
