Shazam only works with commercially-released recordings that have been
added to the Shazam database. Assuming these tapes of Steve's are
personally-made live recordings, and not mass-duplicated tapes, it won't
work in this instance. It does do a great job at matching what's in it's
database, however!

I don't know of any software that can identify a piece in the way Steve
would like, though that would be a highly useful tool!
