Sgt. Pepper Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Who didn't love it when a long song like Dogs of Animals had to be be interrupted in the middle. I had a cassette player in the car before the one I currently own. I used it too. I still had Todd Rundgren - Back To The Bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I still have about 70 cassettes. And I still listen to a lot of them. 6 or 7 of those are Grateful Dead concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I saw The Dead 14 times. All with Jerry, not that after market stuff they recently schlepped around. I was at the show below. I was at all 3 nights in Mountain View. 23 days later I was doing push ups in Navy bootcamp.

Whitefang Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) The other guitarist in a band I was in(back in '68) worked at a place called "The House Of Sound" which mostly dealt with citizen band and ham radio sets. They also started selling those little portable cassette players and blank tapes. The guy I mentioned got one and used to record our sessions with it. I really never cared that much for 8-track tapes, and was tickled pink when cassette players for cars and pre-recorded cassette tapes hit the market. Me and another friend were one of those "pirates" who would buy an LP, record it to the cassette and return the record to the store as defective. Heh. In the '80's into the early '90's my daughter had already amassed enough cassettes to cover an entire room's wall. RIP to the inventor.
