What do you have at your disposal now? Got a reel-to-reel 2- or 4-track recorder laying around? How about a good (I mean *good*) cassette deck? Got a computer? Got a sound card? What kind?

How many piece band, what do you mic, if anything, and what kind of FOH mixer? Do you have another mixer available? How much control do you want over this recording?

If you only have access to a 2 track machine try and get a live feed from the FOH mixer. Or if you have more then one track see if he can give you a bussed feed or feed from several Aux sends.
