• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

So, are there any others amongst us on the Lounge? By trader I am referring to someone that collects live audio shows.

Just for some background info, these shows were very popular in the 1970s and 80s, many people would go to a concert and hide audio recorders (such as a DAT Recorder) and secretly (or not secretly in the case of "The Grateful Dead", and "Phish") record the concert and put them on vinyl/CD. Many stores used to sell them in stores, but this has now become illegal.. Prior to the birth of broadband internet the main way of obtaining new material would be through a trading system. A show would be traded through the mail to someone else in return for another recorded show..

I have been collecting for a few months now and have a decent collection, perhaps 15GBs..? The main artist would be Led Zeppelin. Some others include Bob Dylan (he did a show 5 minutes from my house 12 years ago) and U2.. It is now becoming a bit of a hobby for me.. I burn my shows to CD-Rs, add the album art insert (which I find online, Zeppelin Art is a great place) and then when I am finished I put them in my CD shelf.. I know there are some very serious collectors out there. My friend who is a David Bowie freak has 140 Bowie shows on CD currently... So I was wondering if there were any of these serious collectors around here...

I'll get a list of my collection shortly and make a little webpage for the list... I am interested in some collections other Loungers have, so please share your list as well... :)

I am not a huge collector, but I am a member of a site dedicated to Dave Matthews Band shows. I'm sure that there are tons of people there who trade other shows as well that you could get in touch with.

My newest addition would be the Knebworth, England 08/04/79 Zeppelin set as well as a good Robert Plant show on 05/10/88 in Toronto..

Here is a pic of a bootleg of mine, after I prettied it up with the insert, of a good Zeppelin show, 04/01/71 in London, England.

Note:

This thread will not deal with places to download. It is meant as a discussion of shows that you have. Where you download is your own business..

I have loads of Stones bootlegs, some Stone Roses concerts, and some newer stuff (the Music, BRMC, Cooper Temple Clause). The audio quality of some of the Stones boots is better than the official live albums and the source can only have been soundboard feeds.

I mainly have Incubus bootlegs but I have some other bands.

How do you guys get all your bootlegs? I've gotten most of mine from DC++ hubs and from easytree.org.
