Great story, but how are you going to say all that but not link to the recording?
Based on the story there's a good chance it'll be one of these recordings: https://relisten.net/grateful-dead
Assuming it’s a band most have heard of I was leaning toward Daft Punk, but maybe the Prodigy?

I don’t think the Grateful Dead would be referred to as a “live electronic dance band.” Assuming it’s a band most have heard of I was leaning toward Daft Punk, but maybe the Prodigy?

It's really up to the artists. Many are surprisingly cool with it, though there are a few notable exceptions (i.e. Prince). Sounds like the artist in this particlar case gave their blessing. Many bands (like GD and Phish) specifically note in their rider that venues must allow and provide space for tapers to bring their rigs in. A sibling comment in this thread pointed out my project Relisten[0], which now has over 4…
> though there are a few notable exceptions (i.e. Prince) There was an episode of "What's Happening" when Rerun gets in trouble for bootlegging a Doobie Brothers concert, does anyone remember? It aired when I was a kid and now I somehow still feel guilty when I listen to bootlegs.

> However, I do notice that for more uncommon music, the record industry sort it just looks the other way. For example Eminem has tons of really old music on YouTube that I’m sure his lawyers could figure out how to get taken down. But it just stays up. Or artists that have seen the merit in tolerating it/somewhat encouraging it. I'm a pretty hardcore Nine Inch Nails fan (seen >30 shows). NINLive.com is a fantastic (…
I got invited to see a NIN show recently, which was very kind of them. The process of actually getting in, post-invite, was a bit of a weird experience: Waiting around at the front of the venue, meeting some of his PR folks, walking all the way around the outside to go in the back door to get escorted in. At one point we were given some armbands so we could do what we wanted as if we were regular concert-goers and th…
A fun game is “how many lines can he go without saying I or me?” I do not encourage making a drinking game out of it.
It's funny to think how much effort was put into preventing bootlegging, when now everything is being recorded all the time. The few bands that didn't care or even encouraged it reaped the benefits. I was a huge Ween fan in the 90s and bootlegged a show of theirs myself. Camera and recording devices were allowed and the result was a tremendous amount of live content available online. For some bands this might not mat…
As a student in the 90s I worked security for the student concert group on campus. We had to frisk people for Jello Briafa (Dead Kennedys) spoken word performance. I found a couple of tape decks, but those were allowed. They still put a lot of effort sometimes. I saw Dave Chapelle in NYC and they made us put our phones in these pouches which were unsealed on exiting the show.

All I have left is a very fuzzy memory.

NIN had a messy breakup with their original manager about 15 years into things. Once Trent Reznor emerged as more or less a free agent, he embraced radical approaches to distributing music and other media. The instrumental album "Ghosts I-IV" was released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license, and the music went everywhere - and you can draw a line directly from that choice to the Oscar for the score for The Soci…
Trent also famously mourned the closing of Oink.fm, at one time the world largest largest music torrent tracker https://www.wired.com/2007/10/trent-reznor-on/

Daft Punk doesn't have a singer and unless it was a very early show they wouldn't have seen them smile. Most big beat shows wouldn't have a dedicated vocalist. I'd guess Underworld or Prodigy, but lean toward Underworld.

It's still technically illegal. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tacit Don't Ask, Don't Tell understanding in the community between artists and recorders. Even when individual recorders are known by the community and artists, keeping the pretense of anonymity might be important to preserving and protecting the scene.
