OMG ! This dude recorded tens of thousands of shows in Chicago in the late 80s and early 90s and beyond --

like Shonen Knife when they were playing on campus, the Sugarcubes in 1987, amazing audio treasure trove:

Yeah, Aadam’s been a fixture on the scene for so long. Always saw him around at shows and seemed like a nice, reserved fella. Bands were always cool with him.

To paraphrase Obi-wan Kenobi, “these are some names I haven’t heard in a very long time”!

And many I haven’t.

Very cool.

Pretty nice to be able to look up some random show you saw 30 years ago & find that someone was there w/ a recorder! Just a quick scan & I found at least a handful, & I know they're not even halfway through his tapes yet.
