If you’re discussing the most taper-friendly non-jam band, you’re probably talking about the Smashing Pumpkins. When the Pumpkins got back together last summer they issued a clear declaration of our their open-source taping policy in which everyone is welcome to tape at SP shows in whatever capacity they see fit.
So it’s no surprise that the Pumpkins have teamed up with a fansite to start Livepumpkins.net, a site full of free audio, video and photos from the band’s career. Why can’t more bands be as fan friendly as the Smashing Pumpkins?

Does NYCTaper ever rest? Just this week he shared his fantastic recordings of mum and Hot Buttered Rum. Check out the Hot Buttered Rum show for a scintillating sit-in from TLG’s Trevor Garrod on Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.

The 3/27/08 Truckers show was probably the best concert I’ve ever seen them play. Well until they destroy the 9:30 club for 2 nights next month.
