Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.
Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you. Kev & Carl June 2009

Wow, and to think that the next night Dan was seeing (and taping) Genesis do The Lamb! Talk about going from the ridiculous to the sublime! (sorry about the negativity--but could never stand ELO--even though this is before they became "teeny-bopper hit-makers.")
Dave (still) Rocks but maybe the 'best' of the Lampinski tapes are finished?
(I'm hoping that some shows from previous bands already shared--but from different years/tours are in the works!)
The gentleman who has been sharing these on DAD has slowed his uploads to one per week. I will be sure to have them up here in less than a week thereafter.
I am not an ELO fan really myself but they were unique in their era.
Of all of the bands (Yes, ELP, Genesis....) who tried to mix classical music with rock (Prog Rock), I think that ELO was probably the most successful. Throw on their version of "Hall Of The Mountain King" and it'll send shivers down your spine every time. Their album, "Time", is probably the single greatest example of Space Rock or Sci-Fi Rock ever to be created full stop. It was one of the first 5 CDs that I bought way back when the medium first came into the shops. (My first CD was Meddle, by Pink Floyd.)
ELO's done some crap, to be sure. But, if you like Styx or Genesis or Prog Rock in general, do yourself a favor and pick up "Time". It's a pleasure.
Thanks Dave more Lampinski shows are always welcome!!!
"Dave (still) Rocks but maybe the 'best' of the Lampinski tapes are finished?"
Not even close...
I hope you're right!
(recently it's been the shorter set opening acts, and groups like ELO: "not that there's anything wrong with that!")
I may be in the minority here, but I love ELO, and I haven't had much luck tracking down many of their shows. Thank you so much for posting this one.
Tim
many many thanks!
I like early ELO ('72-77) and this is a superb recording from that heyday era.
Thanks Dave for making this available.
Ron
thanks!
Hey Dan Lampinski.
Thanks for som outstanding and great recordings. I'm (I think) the greatest ELO fan in Denmark so it's nice to get these live recordings. Feel free to visit my webpage about ELO and relatives including my record collection, it's in danish but try anyway.
