 | guitard: People who tape audio know that the quality of the mics, the way the mics are deployed, location of the taper, format of the recording, etc., etc. are all important factors in getting a nice recording – and the quality of audio from a bunch of random clips recorded with iPhones and point-and-shoot cameras is so far removed from the quality you get with a traditional style audio recording that you can’t even begin to compare them. That isn’t to say you’re wrong though.If old-school tapers think that people are no longer interested in their recordings because they are, as you say, available on Youtube, then that might be a reason for not recording.But most audio tapers do it first and foremost for their own enjoyment, so I kind of doubt that’s what’s happening.
I was not comparing what is available on youtube and the majority of boots. A number of boots on the early shows of this tour may well surface, but I remember at the start of the 2012 tour we were getting the shows up on DIME the next day (audio) and there were often multiple sources.
