pink Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i shall be seeing the roma concert during my holiday and want to try to tape the show using my old nakamichi mikes into a sony dat, so things will be a little visible. i contacted the venue to find out about their house policy and mails went back and forth. in the end i still don't know what they are up to. usually, in case of getting caught, i would simply return the gear to my car. but the car will stay back in germany and the roma hotel is quite far away. on top, italians can be funny at times and unfortunatley my italian is only very basic. any idea how to find out more? any other suggestions? BIG ta in advance ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Wilco allows audio taping. They announce that audio taping is allowed at the start of every show. Bring your gear and don't take no for an answer. If someone tries to shut you down or not let you in, stay calm, hold your ground and ask to see the road manager or someone with the band. You should be able to get your stuff in and tape the show.

Analogman Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 This is the Wilco taping policy: Wilco does permit audio taping and trading of live performances wherever it does not conflict with venue or other restrictions beyond our control. We do not allow direct soundboard patches. Wilco supports the free trading of live recordings for non-commercial purposes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuStu Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 They are VERY hospitable to those of us who record their shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pink Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 a lot of times its not the band - but the damn venue security mafia funny mafia mention in connection with roma and of course ta for all your kind messages. i guess that i'll just won't use the two nakamichi microphones (though i still love their sound) and use my sonic studios dsm 6 instead. and i'll just sneak my stuff in and go stealth like i've done since 1976. i keep wondering: i have "sweet spot" tickets in the middle of row 15. even if i get my gear in, will the ushers automatically know that i'm entitlded to do what i do? being a big old "shit-ass" i would probably focus on being invisible instead of having a great time. i'd hate to have to explain the taping policy every 5 minutes in rudimentary italian and have all that mess on the tape. we'll see - maybe they'll record the concert for the roadcase? (still mesmerized by the boston orpheum show) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutchDoughPie Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The venue itself might have rules against audio recording. If so, Wilco's recording policy would be irrelevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
