386.0. "Top Ten Shows List" by WRKSYS::DUTTON (Inspiration, move me brightly...) Mon Dec 20 1993 20:21

If you had to pick the Top Ten Shows that every tape collector
*MUST* have in their collection, what they would be?

I have very few shows on tape so far, and have people offering
me trades for copies of this years BG shows -- some of these
lists are pages and pages long! :)
