Kraftwerk live cassettes from the old days of tape trading I got from a gentleman in the UK. Got a box of tapes, among them a few gems. Tokyo 1981 FM, Utrecht '81 FM, Hammersmith Palais '81, Santa Monica '81, Liverpool '81 21st, Grassina 1990.
They were taped at concerts or off the radio by fans. There was a healthy tape trading scene, particularly with live bootlegs of popular artists. People made copies and shared them with other fans. Artists often turned a blind eye on it as long as recordings weren't sold commercially. Some even encouraged their fans to tape shows, Grateful Dead comes to mind.
With the digital age and internet file sharing this has pretty much died out. But not all of the old analogue tapes have been preserved and made available digitally. It's always a pleasant surprise when fans sell off their tape collections and when I saw Kraftwerk I had to jump at the chance and bought them.
