Notes:
My friend Barry K recorded over 300 concerts in the NYC metro area, spanning 1982 to 2012. He recorded all genres of music, including folk, pop, rock, metal and new wave. Almost none of his recordings have ever been circulated. The first concert Barry ever saw was Melanie at Carnegie Hall, 1973-02-03. This recording was the 3rd time he saw Melanie live.

About me:
I've been going to concerts since 1975, starting with Lou Reed at the Felt Forum, 1975-04-26. I started taping on 1978-03-26 with Renaissance at City Center. From 1978 to 1982 I used a portable Panasonic RQ-2309 mono cassette recorder with built-in condenser microphone, as it's all I could afford. I mostly recorded my favorite band at the time, The Shirts, but there were some other new wave and punk bands from that era also. In mid-1982 I upgraded to the Aiwa HS-J2 walkman style recorder with the CM-2 stereo mic. Some of those recordings have already appeared on DIME as I used to trade tapes. Most of my master recordings are indexed on etreedb.org ( https://etreedb.org/10thFloorClown ), and I welcome requests on what I should upload to DIME next. I'd love to connect with some of the other NYC tapers from back then; please feel free to send me a PM. If anyone has any live recordings by The Shirts or Deaf School please contact me!
