A taper is a person who records musical events, often from standing microphones in the audience, for the benefit of the band's fan base. Fans would share their tapes through trade, creating a unique sub-culture where no money was exchanged, just copies of live shows swapped among fans. Taping was popularized in the late '60s and early '70s, and while bands initially attempted to thwart it, most eventually embraced tapers. While audio recording was largely tolerated, it wasn't officially allowed until the creation of a 'tapers' section' that was usually located behind the soundboard in the '80s where tapers could do their thing. Taping setups are generally portable, with condenser microphones, phantom power, a preamp, and a recording device.

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an outdoor concert venue located within Symphony Woods, a 40-acre lot of preserved land in the heart of the planned community of Columbia, Maryland. The venue opened in 1967 on the former grounds of the Oakland Manor Plantation, with the majority of the wooded and open field land around it serving as a park, festival site, event parking, and site of Christmas light displays. In the decades since it's inception, Merriweather has hosted some of the biggest names in rock 'n' roll and is consistently named among the top amphitheaters in the United States. This design is styled after the venue's minimalist logo that was in play in the '70s.

The Marquee Club was a small and relatively cheap club, located in the heart of the music industry in London's West End, and used to launch the careers of generations of rock acts.

For those living in Los Angeles in the '70s and '80s, there was only one place to see a rock concert or a sporting event: The Fabulous Forum. In 1967, The Forum rose from a former golf course in Inglewood like a modern-day Roman Coliseum. Its financier, Jack Kent Cooke, was a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman turned multi-millionaire owner of both pro basketball and hockey teams. He dreamed of building sports' answer to the Taj Mahal in Los Angeles, and The Fabulous Forum was his dream come true, as a 75' high Roman-style building adorned by 80 exterior columns. The facility was a shining star of the greater L.A. area for decades, hosting countless events from sports championships and rock concerts, to circuses and home shows.

It’s true your band is awful.
