Ryan's Live Tapes and CDs
**************************************************************
SORRY, BUT RIGHT NOW I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN HIGH QUALITY COPIES OF THE FOLLOWING:
ANY '99 Dave&Tim SHOWS
DMB 11.14.94
DMB 05.11.96
DMB 06.11.96
any DMB with Soul Coughing as a guest
Phish 04.21.94
Phish 10.15.94
Phish 10.22.96
Phish 12.31.98
**************************************************************

So here's my collection; I hope you find something you like. Also, excuse the non-Maxell Brands, I got those before I started collecting seriously. I now record tapes using a DENON DRW580 (retail$249) dual well tape deck; it is only two heads, but it makes superb copies regardless I assure you. Also, I don't own a CD burner, please do not inquire about CD trades, sorry.
 
    Rules

  • 1. Use Maxell XL II or Maxell XL II-S tapes only.
  • 2. I send with OUT cases and j-cards; just cassettes. If you want to send cases please let me know.
  • 3. Never use Dolby or use Auto Reverse.
  • 4. I always send first class and I hope you do the same. I send priority if it's 6 or more audios.
  • 5. No high speed dubbing.
  • 6. Please be honest about quality (my grading scale can be see at the bottom).
  • 7. Please be prompt in sending tapes.

    Comments on Grading
    I feel that these quality grades are honest.  If  you trade with me and you disagree with my quality grading let me know so I can re-grade it.
    A+ = could be mistaken for a master soundboard recording.
    A   = not perfect, maybe a few random annoyances such as crowd interferance or subtle hiss, but otherwise perfect
    A-  = a little hiss, maybe a lower recording volume, occaisional tape distortion maybe, but usually unnoticable and very
             enjoyable
    B+ = some more hiss, lower recording volume, but definitely a good listen.
    B   = noticable hiss/ distortion/ lower recording volume/crowd noice, usually only worth trading for if you really want it
    B-  = these honestly aren't that fun to listen to. Usually it's a really low gen old show or a new show w/ unbearable crowd
             noise, almost as if the person who recorded it left the mic on the floor while everybody else enjoyed the show.

    But each show's grading can be descibed in detail.  If you wanna know about a specific show just e-mail me, and I'll let you know.  Pretty much you're really only gonna want a show if it's B+ or better.  Also, usually the only reason why I even have the B or B- shows is usually because I was either at the shows and wanted  some copy or because I got shafted by a trader who blatantly lied about quality.

    This page has been accessed a lot since April 26th, 1998. The exact number is really inconsequential.

    E-mail me if you want to set up a trade or to simply ask a question about DMB or trading in general.

    My address is : [email protected]

    If you e-mail me please be patient because sometimes I just have too many trades going on and won't be able to get back to you right away or I simply just don't feel like trading at that particular point in time.  Believe it or not, my life doesn't revolve around DMB.  I will definitely let you know what's up though either way
    I'm a senior biochemistry major at Lehigh University, and a brother of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.

     Oh yeah, one last thing:
    Don't Buy Bootlegs!
    They're overpriced, illegal, and often have poor quality. See DMB's official statement on bootlegs:
    A notice to our fans about Bootleg CD's, Television and Radio Broadcasts:
