I'm going to discover in my cellar about 30 magnetic tapes (7 inches) with about 50 shows of the seventies!! ESPECIALLY CANTERBURY SCHOOL!!! AND SOME OTHERS !!!!!! Unfortunatly, MAYBE some of (parts) them are damaged (noises, mediums or highs spoiled) I'll add some samples.

WHY DID I USE MD ?
Actually Dime rules admit the use of MD as long as the original concert was on a cassette tape. My friend finkployd49 numerized my tape on MD 10 years ago ; in those days we had no choice, because we didn't have proper computers or software to do that. In the meantime, the original tape was exposed to 10 years of demagnetization... Honestly, using MD was the best solution.

THE CONTEXT : a little story I'm trying to remember ; a misty night on the harbour, the sound of the swell on the sailing boat hulls, a spectral atmosphere in the city streets, a very good beginnig to the Magma concert. I knew a little the organisation staff, and as far I can remember, because I went to 5 different Magma concerts between La Rochelle and Bordeaux (I'm not completely sure if it was this one), the organisation didn't book a hotel for the musicians at the end of the concert!

A few of us proposed our proper home for the musicians. Honestly (at the same time) I was thinking how much my friends would be jealous when they would know that Klaus Blasquiz or Christian Vander stayed at my home. But I was impressed too by the perspective to have them (hôtes de qualité, n'est-il pas ?) in my modest house. Anyway. At the end, the staff found a solution for all of the musiciens. See you, Magma...
