No EQ'ing.

This recording should not be confused with the series labelled "The Dan Lampinski Tapes Volume XX". This recording represents part of Dan's earliest efforts to capture the live concert experience for posterity, hence the series name "Dan Lampinski - The Early Years Volume XX". Given the very consistent high quality of Dan's later work, it would have been easy to blow off these recordings and consign them to the dustbin of history, but there are quite a few captures in the series that are well worth circulating, if not for their rarity, but for the obsessive collector types (we know who we are) that want every single second of any recordings of their favourite musicians. So please, just accept these recordings for what they are, another part of the tapestry we weave when we collect and share such things.
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.

Dave,

Many thanks for this early Lamp tape. They are always appreciated.

May I have a small request? My son favorite group is Daf Punk. He would surely be glad if you come across some of their boots. Don't lose any sleep on this though.

Your work is very much appreciated.

A+

Hoping to plant some ideas of folks who have not shown up... The Roches, Sebadoh, Throwing Muses, Yo La Tengo... also Talking Heads from English shows: '77, '79; more early Patti Smith would also be great... never take your work for granted... it is always appreciated!!!!!

I was excited for a minute because I have a great Daft Punk but you like Daf Punk so I will have to keep an eye out for those guys (just kidding - I'll have it up in a few weeks).
GFS: I will put a few of these shows up too.

Dave,

It was my spelling mistake. The group in question is "Daft Punk". The "t" somehow eluded me!

Many thanks in advance

Thank You Dave.

I've seen the Kinks quite a few times between 73 and 79 in the New York City area and they never had a dull moment.

Truly professional performers in my opinion.
