nancies.org: news: "Dave Matthews Band has taped all of their shows since their earliest days, with the process for doing only getting more complex over time. Their setup quite impressive -- 48 tracks of 24-bit audio, redundantly multitracked on tape and hard drives, archived on up to 120 CDs per show, which are vacuum-sealed in plastic, closed into PVC piping, and archived in three different climate-controlled locations. For the details on this intricate arrangement, see Mix Magazine's interview with veteran DMB sound man Jeff Thomas. "

Quite a system!
