My first show attended was a Hollywood Palladium gig in 1971 (maybe '72, I no longer remeber the date).
Tapers efforts referred to as boots, bootlegs is/are very offensive to those tht recorded the shows.
No offense taken.
There are, in fact, real bootlegs, bootleggers.. But they're put out by unscrupulous individuals who are into them for profit
Tapers efforts referred to as boots, bootlegs is/are very offensive to those tht recorded the shows. Its at a huge effort and expense to capture the music, and they were provided freely for people to enjoy and trade. At the other extreme are the for-profit bootlegs, which are illicit recordings that are intended to sell and profit from, totally the opposite of what people receive for free in trading loops, vines, bt's and other forms of trading.
No offense intended. They're called unreleased from now on.
12/28/69--- They play "Masons Children." Rarity, no? I saw the Dead with Joan Osborne do it in Philly. Great tune.
