MMW Tour Board Tapes
 

I recall reading in a previous thread where Meat had said that he had given some board tapes of the current tour to Paul, and that these would eventually find their way here to the forum.

Any updates on that :??:

:twisted: Nothing as of yet.

I dare say we can put the thread as a sticky for a while once the tapes arrive.

I remember Meat posting in 2004 we would get board tapes, I remember Wario saying he would get board tapes from some 80s band member. I remember, I remember....

I think it's going to be one of those 'believe it when you see it' kind-of things.

:twisted: I remenber EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :lol:

Until it's your round ...

Thats still happening,. hes just on tour right now. once he's done ill get'em. thats a fact.

As long as he isn't now a member in Bob Dylan's band on his never-ending tour. :-P

I could claim to have a professional recording of the Elmira, New York 2002 concert. It doesn't necessarily make it so. :twisted:

Board Tape
 

When one of you can tell me what a board tape is we will put them up ,
Paul has 3 ready to put up .... Listen only .... no downloading.

Make them pay to download. Give the profit to the Turtle charity thing if you want. I have no issue with paying if they're good quality.

Well one strike , you don't know what a board tape is. !!!!!! Turtle Charity thing ? excuse me !!!

This is board tape:

My understanding is that a board tape is a recording of everything that went through the sound board t on a given night. Basically a professional recording of what the audience heard through the speakers. Each instrument and mic run through the board and mixed by the board tech

And would be more than happy to make a donation to Loafdom for the Turtle in order to obtain a download, but if not would be happy just to get a listen.

Just because I chose to comment on a different part of your post, it does not mean that I do not know the answer.

One strike for making an incorrect assumption.

:twisted: I walked into the pub last night and a bloke said your round.
I looked down at my tummy and smacked him.
*drum florish*
Thank you, thank you, i'm here all week, try the veal :mrgreen:

A good idea.

OK, fair comment. Evil One could have refered to The Painted Turtle a little less dismissivly.

You gents need me to put on an umpire uniform? :bleh:

Can we please try and keep this topic to the subject of the board tapes rather than going off into the same old routine.

In other words.............

Evil One: STOP POKING THE MOTHERF@CKING BEAR WITH THE MOTHERF@CKING STICK! :bicker: :p :lol:

And Meat: get yourself some stick proof underwear :wink: and don't let the convo be taken into an off topic row by a poorly chosen choice of words.

Now, back to the board tapes...........

How about adding them to special "Tour edition" of Hell In A Handbasket on iTunes, kinda like the extra live tracks that were on the Hang Cool Teddy Bear CDs at the Uk concerts. I would imagine proceeds could go to Painted Turtle.

:twisted: Being the technophobe I am, i'd like to see a physical release available somewhere.
Doesn't have to be a major release with lots of advertising.
Perhaps The Turtle could produce a physical copy to sell?

Best of my knowledge, it is like what The Grateful Dead did...allow people to plug recording devices into the mixer board. The tapes that were recorded from The Dead are often referred to as "board tapes" - that's the best educated guess I can give.

Board Tape = The raw recording directly off the mixing console of a live performance.

Hasn't Meat often cited that the board tapes are just the raw vocals recorded on an isolated line through the desk at the respective gig?

I too thought they were a tape of everything that went through the sound board at a concert, how it sounded to the audience, and what you, Meat, listen to after the show?

I think if you were happy to allow a download with a charge which was passed to The Painted Turtle (and I cannot believe anyone on here does not know or cannot refer to it correctly) that would be great :-) To produce a physical copy to sell would be a much bigger issue, and TPT would not I think be in a position to manage all of that, but we have sold downloads from loafdomturtle.net, with all proceeds going to the charity.

:twisted: Although I don't know anything about downloading myself, it seems that there wouldn't be much extra effort to put the music on a CD.
Someone at Painted Turtle burns a copy of the CD, I send them money, they send me the CD.

Seems easy enough to me :shrug:

But then you have to factor in the cost of the CDs and the cost and time of someone setting there an burning copies, not to mention the ever increasing cost of shipping these days

All I was saying is that I don't think they are set up to do this, and their efforts are directed at the many other areas they have to manage across the board. They fund raise across a much wider cross section of people than Meat Loaf fans, and don't have a large army of people devoted to just fund raising. I'm always reluctant to suggest what other organisations can do unless I'm asked in to do that, and have a full picture ;)

I think it would be a great idea to make them downloadable for a charge, and donate the funds to The Painted Turtle. It's a case of kill two birds with the one stone really. Allow Meat fans to buy and download the songs on the board tape (and put to rest the board tape issue lol) for a charge, and also help a great charity, The Painted Turtle, help ill children attend camps where the are able to have fun and forget about their illness, treatment and hospital ;) A win win situation I say :)
