All right there's a story.  I work on short limited time period projects.  I was working along side this guy, Scott, for a couple of weeks but really didn't talk to him until the last week.  Some how, we talk mutual musical interest and I talk about recording live shows and he mentions that he and his friends recorded shows in the 80's and 90's, but he's put it all away since he became a dad. So with three days to go he brings in a big brown paper bag full of cassettes: Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Meat Puppets, Robin Hitchcock to name a few.  I had two short nights after working long days to frantically dub as much as I could before passing out. I surprisingly Got most of them and certainly the most important to me, but a few had to be sacrificed and never left the bag.

So here's the first. Scott's tapes were either his master or first gen dubs from his buddy's master.  Enjoy!
