Who is Dan Lapinski?
Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the
Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest
recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they
are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments
in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a
Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began
using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend
who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high
quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape
recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell
cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes,
Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull,
ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck,
Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young,
The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the
radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings,
they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for
friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings
have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master
cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free
to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit
for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking
good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will
now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness
and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.
