| Tech Note | Genesis : The Lostbrook Tape Series - Volume 3 Genesis was back from the dead, having survived the departure of Peter Gabriel. I was fortunate to have seen The Lamb, but I thought it was over. In February 1976, A Trick of the Tail was released, and I fell in love with the new Genesis. This was the fifth concert I ever taped, and it fueled my passion for more. I�m surprised I didn�t wear this tape out, having played it endlessly - and recklessly - from the master. This concert had all the right elements: Genesis on Broadway, the Beacon Theater, third row seats, and Bill Bruford. I wasn�t planning on going to the April 8 show. I went to the box office to buy tickets for myself and ten other people for the April 9 concert, and when I got to the window, I decided to grab one for myself for opening night. This was a smart move, and it benefits the tape since I had no one to talk to. The concert was incredible, and I will always remember walking with the crowd down Broadway after the show as I rewound the tape and played it loud. This attracted quite a bit of attention, and I was glad to reach the safety of my Ford Torino. Special thanks to Scott for sleeping out on line and saving me a place. I wasn�t really planning on cutting the line, but people wanted me to stay once they heard Steve Hackett�s album on my ever-present tape deck.

This was quite an accomplishment for an eleven-year-old without a ticket. My first major concert was The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden on July 25, 1972. I was so impressed with the enormity of that event that I jumped at the chance to acquire some of the vinyl bootlegs from the Exiles on Main Street tour. These recordings surely planted a seed in my mind, but unfortunately, I waited over 25 concerts before attempting my first recording in late 1975. Over the next ten years, I recorded approximately 125 concerts in the New York City area. In 1985, I moved to Virginia and recorded sporadically, accumulating a few dozen shows in the Washington DC area over the next 15 years. My motive for taping has always been selfish. I simply wanted to enjoy the performances over and over again. I didn�t realize that I was recording both musical and personal history or that I was witnessing the high-water mark of progressive music. I thought it would last forever, but in the back of my mind, I must have known that I had something special. With one or two exceptions that I later regretted, I refused to trade tapes. Very few friends were ever given copies. I have never considered selling them � I have too much respect for the artists. I protected my tapes for decades, never knowing what to do with them as they sat dormant on a shelf. In 2010, I found the time to make digital transfers of my tapes and rediscovered the amazing moments I had recorded. I also found an answer: I needed to get these tapes to my friends that were with me, whose history I had also captured, and to others who would appreciate this collection. My equipment was low-tech but yielded surprisingly good results. Almost all of my recordings prior to 1989 were made with the built-in condenser mic on a Sanyo desktop cassette recorder (model unknown). When the unit began to fail in 1977, I replaced it with what I thought was a better recorder, but the tapes were distorted. I quickly purchased a new Sanyo that was identical to my first and never again attempted an upgrade. In 1989, I bought a smaller, Walkman-type unit � a Panasonic RX-SR29, which performed nicely with its condenser mic. I was never interested in producing soundboard-quality tapes, and was almost always happy with my �souvenirs.� I used TDK tapes initially, then Maxell. Recording a concert was always an adventure. Through trial and error, I arrived at the following procedure: To get past the ticket-takers, I wore loose pants and stuffed the recorder down the front where the odds of being frisked were minimal. I wore a loose t-shirt or sweatshirt to cover the �bulge� and held my breath. The dead batteries and cheap tape I kept in the recorder were occasionally confiscated, but my friends were already inside with the real supplies. Once inside, I would meet my friends and exchange the batteries and tape. We had excellent seats for many concerts, but that put us in close proximity to ushers and stage security. We needed to be in a constant state of vigilance, and we were also busy with the timing of the tape-flips. I would occasionally take photographs with a cheap camera, which gave me additional equipment to juggle.Without fail, someone in my row would be in the wrong seat, and an usher would have to sort it out. It was all I could do to keep the recorder hidden without covering the microphone. It was always chaotic, but the reward was great as we listened to the concert again on the way home. I�m indebted to all those who assisted and inspired me along the way: Gary, Steve, and Paul/Rich, Rob, and Paul/John, Sue, Al, and Rich/Jody, Laurie, Danny, and Martha/Geri and Allison/Howie and Linda/Kathryn. Thanks to Mike for all of his efforts. Most of all, thanks to my family � K, M, E, and B � for their support and patience. You are cordially invited to enjoy these time capsules. There is always room for one more in our row, but if we are loud or talkative, please don�t judge us too harshly. We were swept away by the magic of the moment, and we hope you will be too.
