Lets Trade Bootlegs

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys collecting music bootlegs or has any interest in learning more about them! This is an extremely detailed and comprehensive "inside view" of the methods, actions, and thought processes of the people behind most of the bootlegs made for the first several years of this phenomenon's history. I couldn't put it down.

VAN HALEN "D.O.A. Dreamer"
1 disc (13 tracks, Soundboard) Nagoya, Japan 6-24-78 - This bootleg is often incorrectly called "D.A.A. Dreamer" due to an error on the front cover of the artwork (My God! An error on bootleg cover art? What a concept!), but the sides and back of the art correctly show "D.O.A." (Dead or Alive). Sound quality is very good, but not great. Some minor distortion and tone variance, and it has split-second TAO track transitions

A collection of David Lee Roth interviews intermingled with music. A lot of the stuff on these discs is poor quality, having been originally recorded in very low-budget ways, but the sound is toleratable, and many of the Roth quotes are very cool.
