I use a shareware application called TotalRecorder for the same purpose. It records any audio that goes through your sound card. It is simple to use, super reliable & cheap ($10? buys you the app & all future upgrades). It's made by a company called High Criteria, who provide good support when you inevitably lose your registration # like me. ;-) I went to the Largo show on Wednesday night - I thought I might post about it if anyone's interested in the gory details. Let me know! Cheers, Christe P.S. Does anyone know how Lisa feels about live recordings of her shows and/or trading of said recordings? I would've liked to record the Largo show but I wasn't sure how she felt about it so I didn't. - --- celia keren wrote: > Thanks a lot!

The manager Flanagan is known for taking customers by their ear, refunding their money at the front podium, and kicking them right out on the street if he sees them recording. I've been going to Largo almost every week for about 5 years and it's never a pretty site, mainly because many of the 'regulars' often giggle at the offender. Just a word of caution (to break out the stealth mics) since this has been Lisa's main venue for solo performances in the last few years -- Lisa opened for Jon Brion a few times this year and did a surprise show with Neil Finn a few months ago as well.

I mean, obviously it's been done. The Jon Brion show with Beck, Beth Orton, Fiona Apple, Brad Mehldau, and others has become a classic bootleg along with many others. Just be extra careful... even more careful than, say, a House of Blues recording where they generally just scold you. If you're smart, there are ways to even get a soundboard recording...
