Thanks for visiting, and take a peek at my collection of live musical performances.  As you'll agree, my collection is pretty freakin' huge & includes thousands and thousands of audios and videos of (what I think are) the greatest musical entertainers of the 20th century.  



Important notice:  nothing here is for sale.  This is strictly a non-profit hobby turned monster archive of recorded live musical performances.



Below is a drop-down menu that shows the artists/genres of music I've been collecting.  Click the arrow & choose an artist or genre of music.  You'll go to my list of recordings relating to that artist or genre.  The audio recordings in my collection are stored as data encoded in a lossless format, usually FLAC but sometimes less popular formats such as SHN or APE.  Likewise, the video recordings are stored as data in a variety of formats, usually VOB video (DVDs), MPEG or other high-definition format (Blu-Ray).  I store all data using checksums to verify the integrity



Only the best-possible audio and video is of interest to me.  Most of these recordings were created or preserved using non-professional equipment by music enthusiasts limited only by budget, technology or knowledge.  Everything was stored on analog tape until the 90s.  Copying tapes resulted in "generations" where sound quality deteriorated.  A tape recording could be great, the copy good, a copy of the copy sounding merely OK, a copy of the copy of the copy difficult to enjoy, and so on.  Collecting is quite fun when lost recordings are rediscovered after laying dormant for decades, especially when knowledgable hobbists employ 24-bit high-resolution audio. 



Finding good live recordings - and people willing to share them - was rare in the pre-internet era.  A lot of money was spent on postage, blank Maxell II cassettes and long-distance phone calls to develop a small collection..  We sure got it lucky today.  But, the collecting community still has dishonest people with financial incentive or social agendas.  Some with poor copying techniques or distributing lossy digital versions (MP3).  Some insist on abusing audio software, inflicting their arbitrary audio preferances on the rest of us, calling it "remastering," while others do so with a light touch when there's a legitimate need to repair, restore or preserve what once was.  But, overall, the hobby has exploded in the 21st Century, giving me incredible musical treats that I never imagined as a teenager mowing lawns in 1981 to earn money for that blank-labeled Beatles bootleg LP in the all-white jacket and horrible sound quality.  Yes kiddies, there was a time when we fans could only wonder what The Beach Boys' "SMiLE" project, Led Zeppelin's '71 tour of Japan or Bob Dylan & The Hawk's '66 British tour sounded like..... These recordings are important cultural documents from a time in history when life, entertainment and technology were quite different than today.   



Any inquiries, feel free to email me.  Please note that I have very limited spare time these days & I'm learning bass guitar rather than expanding my music collection.  I enjoy email especially with fellow collectors/tapers & those who trade recordings with known, verifiable lineage & documentation.
