The Mystery Taper (or “MT”) has been taping and collecting live concert recordings for over 30 years. Focusing on his own personal enjoyment while fulfilling an honorable desire to preserve music history, he has seen the practice evolve significantly over the years.

Alas, the Mystery Taper will not be able to attend PhreakNIC, as work will take him out of town the weekend of the con. Fear not! The Mystery Taper will record his talk this weekend, Oct 25th - 26th (via the same gear he uses for live concert recordings ), we'll upload it for all to enjoy on the 26th or 27th, and he will attempt to call in Saturday evening, Nov 1st, for live Q&A. If he cannot call in, PN18 organizer jonnyX will relay attendee questions & Mystery Taper's answers, and post both to the website.
