I wouldn't worry about taping, if the band's given permission. It's the
distribution of taped shows that gets tricky. The common disclaimer is that
taped shows can never be sold, only traded as 1:1 or B&P (blank CDs and
postage). Bands get a bit upset when tapers start selling shows and keeping
all the profits, and you bet they should. I wouldn't expect them to be
jumpy-happy about folks just handing out shows for free. The 1:1/B&P at
least requires a bit of effort.

Does anyone know why Over The Rhine isn't listed by Furthur as one of the
bands you can trade through their network?
