Notes:
My fourth master recording shared with the DIME community captured the second time I recorded Talking Heads, and the ninth time I saw them live. 1982 NYC metro area fans were blessed as we saw 3 shows in a 10 day span (all of which I attended). I don't remember anything about this concert, but listening to this now 40 years later, I really should have, as it's a great performance. I'm pleased with this recording; play it loud and listen with headphones and I swear it sounds like you're there.

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!
