Old Soundboards

[David]

I want to build a list of the soundboards that have started trading in recent years. I'm not sure whether anyone is trying to keep tabs of it all, but rarities are still coming to light & it's difficult for even the most tuned-in fans to keep track of.

I'm talking only about actual soundboards -- cassette tapes of concerts (or partial concerts) & rehearsals lifted directly from the soundboard at Fleetwood Mac rock concerts. To list things like radio broadcasts & videotape (or film) audio tracks would be useful, too, but that's a different project. I know there's disagreement over some things (like the Manchester 1990 show), but all the soundboards so far seem to have originated with the band's ex-archivist. I don't regard Manchester or broadcast shows like Trod Nossel as soundboards. They are over-the-air recordings.

This should be a dynamic list that people can add items to, including pre-1975 Fleetwood Mac items (which I know nothing about). Don't bother with CD-Rs that are duped from already known cassettes or other CDs because in almost every case they're just a repeat from an entrepreneur looking to make some easy money.
