ISO:Info on Wilco tapes from Bluesfest

[RobL]

I know it takes a long time to convert tracks. Just wondering if the Wilco show was taped. I didn't see any tapers myself. This isn't really formyself. I wouldn't mind having the tapes but an old friend is a big fan and she would really love to hear those tapes again. any info would be appreciated. ciao for now Rob

I was at the soundboard all night and didn't see any tapers. The guys I know that tape happened to on a Cheese tour at the time so they didn't do it. Good luck.

[bradm]

I wasn't there, either.

Aloha,

i did a pretty thorough walkabout at the show and didn't see any mic stands. there were probably people with mics on their hats and such, but those tapes would probably take a while to surface if they exist.

i don't think that 'tapers' should be called 'tapers' anymore.

Who's using tape to tape live music these days?

[bradm]

I use lots of tape: masking tape, duct tape...

Aloha,

Is it Duct or Duck? We don’t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless.

After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate.

Today, Duck® brand Tape is manufactured by Henkel Consumer Adhesives. After thoroughly familiarizing ourselves with the hundreds of duct tapes on the market, we have found Duck® brand Tape to be the most consistent in quality. And, we are delighted with the large array of colors that they manufacture (including camo tape and new “X-Treme Tape” which comes in hot day-glo colors).

Jim and I do lots of appearances promoting Duck® brand Tape and do so without reservation. Therefore, we go by both The Duct Tape Guys, and The Duck Tape Guys. And, we use the words Duck and Duct interchangeably throughout our web site.

So, whether you call it Duct Tape or Duck Tape... you are still using the “Ultimate Power Tool” in our estimation.

if we were to call them recorders people would think they were playing small plastic wind instuments.

Maybe digitizers?

haha, my friend chris paul still actually uses analog tapes. He just bought a minidisck a few months ago but he still uses his analog from time to time. I find his analog tapes sound wicked too. he has some great tapes from ottawa. like his phish congress tapes tasty

i dont think anyone taped it, but maybe? If you want live Wilco I recommend the Montreal show from this year or the past year at Metropolis. Both were taped by Blane and both sound great!

[jahdawg]

i recomment the Montreal Wilco tapes too...I got a good pull to w/ my rig this year...the wilco tour didn't vary too, too much from night to night, so if you dload 2 or 3 shows, you'll get the gist of their tour....the 184 sources from out West sound amazing too....

i know these aren't the Ottawa show, but that one might turn up sooner or later...
