Well, I'm finally getting around to digitizing my 700+ cassettes (at my wife's insistence--she wants them out of the house), so I'm going to start posting some goodies here. I taped many a show in the Toronto area from the late '80's to the late '90's, and also recorded a lot of radio broadcasts, mostly from CFNY, 102.1 in Toronto. Hope you stumble across something you like, or even a show you were at!

addendum: I have had many comments about the fate of my tapes, so for those worried about them...the masters I am boxing up and storing in my parents' basement. The others (mixed tapes, recorded LP's, etc) are getting tossed. My wife is not evil or insensitive--we live in a small place, and the many boxes were getting in the way.  This is something I'VE wanted to do for awhile, as well.  She just gave me the push. Oh, and she doesn't have shelves of makeup, or hundreds of shoes, no matter what stereotypes you care to buy in to. Her comic collection, however....


Red Hot Chili Peppers--Lollapalooza, Barrie, ON, Aug. 5, 1992

Not my recording, but I was there.  I got this from fellow area taper Rick, who always had nice recordings.  Pretty good recording, considering it is an outside venue.
Chili's headlined Lollapalooza this tour, and they were in fine form this evening.  Obviously having a great time, throwing in all sorts of weird covers, including Flea doing a solo rendition of "The Needle and the Damage Done". Great show.
