The Scruffy Charm of the Audience Tape

A subject near and dear to my heart for 35+ years. Always thought that Dean Benedetti should have a documentary, he's a legend. When I did a massive yearlong ethnography on "tape" trading networks in grad school I dedicated it to Dean Benedetti and Richard Nixon ;)

You can read about a lot of the taping legends like "Mike the Mic" and others at the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin boards. I think back to all the shows I saw in the late 70s and early 80s where I could have taped some of these shows pretty easily. Now, the tech is so easy and I don't care enough!

Mike Millard definitely deserves the documentary treatment
