Does anyone know how to find the hiphop/rap shows?

#72https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection The Nirvana gig mentioned is https://archive.org/details/ajc00795_nirvana-1989-07-08 The quality is surprisingly good for a bootleg and the band are super-tight! Donate to the IA here: https://archive.org/donate
Just got an email this morning saying my monthly $3 donation went through, and this article reminded me how the internet archive is truly the internet’s library and very worthwhile to support
It’s one of the few (the only?) org that I donate to without second thoughts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aadam_Jacobs He began to attend and record 15 concerts each month, and has said "It went pretty quickly from just being an occasional thing to something I did far too often." So his average is every other day. Also, most concerts / shows have more than one act. I went to an MF DOOM show back in the day at a small club with FIVE opening acts, and then DOOM had THREE more openers in his se…
Wu-tang + run the jewels sounds like a hell of a show.
The final chamber.

#74"... fan's recordings of 10k concerts..." 59-year-old Aadam [sic] Jacobs made his first recording 42 years ago in 1984 when he was 17. He would have had to average 238 recordings/concerts per year — nearly 5/week — over those 42 years to accumulate 10,000 of them.
If you check the collection most nights had ~3 bands playing

#75Found a few bands whose names I recognise. :) * Midnight Oil: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... This one has a fairly decent quality recording of "Beds are Burning" too. Australian Classic Rock. :) --- * Tracy Chapman: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... Audio quality is decent here too. Listening to "Fast Car" now, and the quality is solid. :) --- * Ben Folds…
I mean, I thought They Might Be Giants were kinda well known? I have heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and My Bloody Valentine (although I may be thinking of Bullet For My Valentine), though I don't own any of their albums and I can't recall where I know them from. I think both of them were mentioned in some absolute Z-tier fanfic I read once.

Thanks, I completely missed that.

Cassettes are a pain. Head alignment is extremely important for analog tape fidelity, and it's always off for home recordings. With pro analog tape recordings (e.g. 2-inch 24 track, half-inch 2-track), you record alignment tones onto the tapes to capture the state of the recording device, and then later calibrate the playback device to the particular tape so that playback alignment matches recording alignment. But th…
Interestingly, the Nakamichi Dragon is/was a cassette deck that can do automatic azimuth adjustment on playback -- without having recorded tones to work with. In loose terms: It does this with a special read head that splits one of the recorded tracks into 2 distinct signals (for a total of 3 signals from 1 stereo recording). The split tracks' signals are compared, and it adjusts the azimuth (by minutely rotating the…
I'm glad you called out the Dragon. Besides being an impressive piece of engineering, it's a beautiful piece of art. One of the most striking pieces of consumer electronics I've ever seen.

Look it up
Spell it correctly. An arrogant anesthesiologist is boring cliche by the way. It’s this likely site has many, many people considerably smarter than you. Turn down the arrogance no one gives a shit what you used to be able to do.
1. noted (see above)
2. "likely"? Rather, certain.
3. "Turn down the arrogance no one gives a shit what you used to be able to do." I will take this to heart and try to do better. I do appreciate your taking the time to address my issue.

Is there an MBV set in this archive? I see the GYBE sets.

Never mind, there they are. I was at one of those 2018 shows!
