Jon Topper replied:
"the way I feel is that the boards before 9-21-99 I have no control over."
and earlier in the same exchange re some 1993-1996 recordings, Topper replied:

Policy
Audio cassette and DAT taping is permitted at shows for personal, non-commercial, home use only. We recommend that you bring microphones and portable tape machines. Do not expect power; be prepared for everything. Please stay out of the way of the working crew at all venues. Some things that are never allowed at moe. shows are: CD-R's, large mixers, reel to reel, home decks, long extension cords, etc.
Live tapes are a big part of why moe. is growing so rapidly, and we want to continue to provide as cozy taping environment for everyone as possible. Please respect the wishes of the band and the crew and feel free to ask questions and make comments. It's always been a goal of ours to make taping as much a part of the show as possible, please help us help you by following common sense at all times.
