here is a good website to check for information related to this:
http://www.resourcesfortapers.com/resources/tapeband.html
it's a list of bands and what their policy is on taping. not totally
thorough, but at the very least it gives you an idea of much bands vary on
their policy. for example, phil ek will gladly grant you board access and
even help you set up at a built to spill show, but will oldham might have
you thrown out just for asking.
> So lemme get this straight, you just go up to the sound guy and say hey, I
> want to plug in to your board and record this show? What do you tip -
%20?
> Do you buy them drinks? They don't care? I don't know why they would
care,
> I've just never thought about it or how one went about doing a soundboard
> recording like that. That would be cool because you could probably leave
> the recorder there and go enjoy the show.. come back and switch tapes if
> needed.... what if someone's already plugged in? Fight for it? Exchange
> email addresses? This is all exciting news.
