I got into tape trading of live shows just before CD writers became widespread - I still have a tape deck and literal crates packed with Maxell XL-IIs tapes. Good times. Of course, nowadays I find most shows online - but I miss the whole social structure of organizing tape trees, trading for blanks and postage, branching into taping local gigs (using an incredibly tiny Sony PCM-M1 DAT deck - walkman size!)... Very good times indeed!
