Any tapers here?

[Cjlcooter]

we've a taper section on metpage. If the admins will add you in the group, you will be able to read a lot of stories

I already suggested that in this topic to the staff & they won't allow it because he is not a taper and then they deleted my posts.

Everyone could post about there Taping experiences in here in this topic.

how many shows taped makes you a taper , if you get me

I taped the Metallica show at dublin 2009 and I almost shat myself when entering the venue. I expected them to pat me down alright, but I did not expect my Camera ( which I had in a plastic bag stuffed down my boxers) to start creeping down my leg, lol. My mates went before me and said they have never seen someone look so worried and hence suspicous when queing for a show. The relief when I got in was amazing.

1 Audio Or 1 Video would qualify you as a Taper in my eyes everyone get's nervous (each time they attempt it) even if they Audio Or VideoTaped multiple times before that feeling of getting busted always go's through your mind as you get nearer to your turn to enter.

First show I (attempted) to film was GNR in Las Vegas in 2006. I was 16, got to the show and pussed out. Checked my camera at bag check, then just brought in my digital and took some pics.

The first REAL show that I filmed was GNR on November 5, 2006. Shaky with my JVC Everio cause security was hawking and, like I said -- I was so young.

Every time I enter an arena, for that 2 minute period of going through security I sweat a little bit -- but easily get over it when I get in and get in my seats.

Just that little adrenaline rush keeps me going!

jakes page loads fine for me aslo, and i have also read all of the ones he has on there, a nice read as well.

as for taping myself. tried a couple of times and got busted, tried at my very 1st gig, cinderella at the powerhouse around 86 and had my kit removed untill after the show. was told either hand it over or no access. and a few other shows i have attended. back then the kit was so large im surprised how any1 managed to get it into the shows.
so neadless to say i gave up after those failures. would love to try again sometime.

I've read a tip that, it's better to have more than 1 blank tape with you when recording, 'cause when you suspect that security is after you to take the recorded media, you put the blank one in the recorder and then when they ask you the recording, you just take off the blank media from the recording and give'em.

Anyone have recorded from soundboard?

Anyone have recorded from soundboard?

Multiple times, there's an etiquette to follow when pulling a board patch, and frankly, they are a bit too "dry" for my liking on their own. I always matrix them with my audience recording to fill in for the missing atmosphere of the show.

I taped multiple shows both audio and video. These days i am more inclined to do audio that way i can still enjoy the show without holding a cam in my hand

Lacuna Coil (1 audio and 1 video) 07 and 09
Static X (audio) 07
Megadeth (3 times, all audio) 07 and twice in 09
Nightwish (audio) 08 ?
Iron Maiden (audio) 08
Slayer (audio) 09
Alice in Chains (video) 09
Steel Panther (audio) 09
Dokken (audio) 09
Loudness (audio) 09
Anthrax (audio) 09
Arch Enemy (audio) 09
Sonata Arctica (audio) 09

i tend to either stand a few metres in front of the soundboard or film from the stands. I do get a rush knowing i've gotten a copy of something some other people might like.

i also would like to be added to the tapers list if an admin wouldnt mind.

I have only been caught once while i was about to record devil driver in 07, got my gear confiscated and taken to the cloak room by security. When the DD set was over i told the clerk i was leaving the venue proceeded to get my gear and run back into the crowd and record static x and megadeth lol
