Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:
Here's the NEW YORK DOLLS on Don Kirshner. This is easily the worst sounding
tape I have from that series. It's a shame that nearly all of the Don Kirshner
video footage is rotting away at a film library. Very little of it has ever been officially
released. Understand that TV sound back when this show was broadcast was hardly
high fidelity, but it was at least respectable, and worth having. The biggest shortfall
in sound was the high end. As a fellow DIMER so aptly pointed out, TV sound only
went to around +/- 5,000 Hz then, where most things considered high fidelity were
three times that. This doesn't have much going for it, save it's the NEW YORK DOLLS.
Jerry Nolan sounds like he's beating plastic paint containers like a street musician.
I think this is only for the hardcore's, but you be the judge. Try to enjoy.
