Aadam Jacobs, sometimes called Chicago Tape Guy, is a concertgoer and archivist in Chicago, Illinois, known for recording more than 10,000 tapes of indie and punk rock concerts between 1984 and the 2010s. Described as a "ubiquitous local club presence" and "rabid fan" by the Chicago Tribune,[1] Jacobs captured an estimated 30,000 music sets from at least 3000 music acts[2] including R.E.M., The Cure, Tracy Chapman, Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth, and Nirvana.[3] Since late 2024, dozens of volunteers have digitized, cataloged, and published thousands of his audio files.

Wow! I spent the morning getting work done while listening to an R.E.M. concert from 1986. Amazing.
