The whole list of what I have, although I haven't updated it in about two years, is all listed right here:

I've since added quite a few 24-bit shows as the tapers these days are always recording directly to 24/96 (and sometimes 176.4 or 192).

Obviously most of it is Dave Matthews, Dave and Tim or Dave Matthews Band, but there are some other shows from Bob Marley, Nine Inch Nails, The Verve, etc., that I'm quite chuffed to have gotten.

There's also a lot of Dave Matthews stuff that's not supposed to be traded in there too as it violates the taping policy. The "IEM" recordings are all "no-no's" in the DMB community as someone has picked up the FM frequency and so on the recording you can hear the band talking to each other during songs, making jokes, being guys, etc.

Any digital soundboard recordings made after 12.31.95 are also against the taping policy. The band used to let tapers patch into the soundboard until then, but then I guess it became impossible to do as they gained in popularity and didn't want the sound guy messing around trying to help tapers.

With the money they spend on their taping equipment though, the quality of the tapes over the last 5-6 years has been pretty incredible. Whenever you go to a DMB show you'll always see a few different 12-15ft taping rigs in the crowd, normally over to the side infront of one of the stacks. Very cool when artists like DMB, Phish, Dead, Bruce Horsnby, etc., allow the crowd to tape.
