Live Recordings

But better still, you remember ("teach a man to fish, you feed him for life") we would like to improve our list of links to direct you to different LIVE MUSIC RESOURCES where you can see, enjoy or tape your own "live" broadcast recordings for your personal use.

The Artists we wish to trade, share and support; encourage this type of distribution in order to get their MUSIC out to the Public, to offer unique live performances to their fans or just because they are nice people.

Current "New Rock" or "Alternative" Artists frequently perform live 30 minute to 1 hour sets that many DJ's encourage their listeners to tape.

In the Atlanta Georgia area, 99X (FM99.7) does an exellent series of LIVE performances that they encourage listeners to tape. Each week, on Friday, they feature a different nationally known group or artist, broadcast live as it happens, in front of a small group of 99X listeners. If you miss that Live feed, you have another opportunity to listen or tape that performance, on the following Sunday at 10:00 pm. Outside the Georgia area you can look and listen to 99-X (FM99.7) via the Internet.

Another 99X "LIVE" feature is VIRTUAL VENUE, which has webcasts of previously recorded LIVE concerts from other areas around the country.

To check out the Atlanta Local Scene listen to 99X Sunday night broadcasts of "Locals Only". Hosted by Steve Craig who is billed as a " -- local music fan(atic) -- he brings you the best of the Atlanta music scene Sunday nights from 10:00 to 10:30pm. Live guests, rare tracks and lots of really good music from just this side of Peachtree." Give it a listen, Atlanta has many fine musicians show-cased on these broadcasts.

It is not our intent to bypass any copyright laws, nor are we soliciting for any illegal bootleg recordings made at concerts without the consent of the artists performing. It is my hope that since there will be no charge for the music itself, and that charges will only cover recording time and the price of a cassette, packaging etc. that we can share music in this way. As we become more familiar with the costs involved ie. protective packaging, postage rates for insured delivery of packages etc, we will post them.

If you are familiar with any laws or applicable charges that we will need to consider, please click on our E-mail address below and let us know. This will help to work out the logistics of maintaining a website for this type of music exchange. In the event that we encounter some obstacles that we cannot overcome, we will continue trading tapes and exchanging information on Artists and/or radio stations that support the taping of their LIVE broadcasts.
