I'm digitizing this recording to CD also for my mom.

These recordings of the Jerry Garcia Band are kind of lore in the cassette world. Imagine a concert where the first rows are just filled with people and their recording gear. Which they called the taper section.

What I like about cassette recordings are they aren't perfect. I was having this conversation just yesterday with nostr:nprofile1qqsv025hmnjh5mml40stydgh9lhwse83z2mxlqpf7xmfk3mvp5fvsyqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0mcktn9. Each recording has an imprint of the person doing the recording. Tape hiss or no, EQ going in, how hot of a level etc...

It's more like handwriting whereas digital is like a printer.

Also, this tape is over 40 years old and sounds amazing.

Anyway, maybe I should do a short article on this for the next issue as to justify putting the music on there 😀
