If you go down to the woods today...

Came across this story about stealth taping at a Joni Mitchell concert on a torrent site.

The chap who taped this and many other concerts at the Canadian National Exhibition (C.N.E.) had some really good but large recording equipment. So he got a big, 1-meter tall teddy bear, the kind you win at the midway (as the rides and amusements area is called), and stuffed it full of his recording gear and walked in with his girlfriend on one arm and the teddy on his shoulders. Imagine, behind those glazed teddy eyes was a Marantz PMD360, the arms contained a pair of shotgun mics, and up his arse was a Monfretto folding lighting stand and the requisite cables.
