Likewise, and even more so. I’ve hardly ever listened to a live show due to family and other commitments. In early ‘70’s I became a Hi-Fi buff, where sound quality was everything. However, in 1987 when I rediscovered Peel, and I had to go into hospital twice for 2 week stints, I used to tape Peel on a portable radio cassette and heard the Bhundu Boys, King of the Slums and Public Enemy for the 1st time, I discovered that content was everything and sound quality just a bonus. These tapes are one of my most treasured possessions. So no need to apologise Mark.

 Would you be horriified if i admitted I haven't actually listened live to the show since the dawn of DTT? It's just so easy to set the video and Nicam sound is more than adequate. Now with HD recorders it's even easier. I dont think the AOD is very good quality but, it provdes a good safety net if anytihng goes wrong with the video.

Hey! The technology exists to make a recording of the show, and you could

then listen to it at an earlier time on the following evening!

 

This has the added benefit of ensuring you miss Zane Lowe's show!
