I'm lucky in that respect. Saved every tape from the get-go. saved the tapes I made of other bands I mixed also. Every once in a while I'll run into someone I mixed. When they find out I still have tape, they go all ga-ga, and want some copies. One band I worked with, the lead singer died of ovarian cancer. When her family caught wind of my recordings, they made a boatload of copies, both for the memorial service, and for her relatives to once again hear the voice of thier beloved Shelly.

Good thing he wasn't Bob Dylan's producer on "Positively Fourth Street."
On the other hand, I saw Van Morrison at the Greek Theater in Berkeley a few years ago, and it wasn't one of his better shws. I kept thinking that glaring at his drummer nonstop (when he wasn't singing) was not likely to result in an improvement to the groove.

This one may be way out there but,,, Joe Meek always forced his musicians/singers to smile while recording. Even without a window to the studio, he could tell when someone was not smiling during a take. I've had to chide a few frontmen during nights when they were giving other players bad looks. It always improved the performance almost instantly.
