A lot of bands allow taping and trading (never selling) of any show that is not used for a commercial release. Practically every concert that bands like The Grateful Dead, Phish, etc ever played is available for download on the net. A lot of them are off the soundboard, i.e. just what is done for commercial releases. In the old days we used to physically trade shows on tape, then CD/DVD, hence the list. Now you can just download the torrents in lossless FLAC compression. If anybody wants anything on my list copied, and is willing to wait till I have the time to get it done, just send me the postage/courier costs and I will do it. Be warned, the sound quality might vary quite a lot!
