I mentioned to my friend Billy that someone on Dime was asking for the Police
at the Hotel Diplomat and he says "well, you better make me a copy also. You
only went because I made you go." So, with both Kappa02 and Billy requesting
that it be digitized, here it is. I don't remember the show at all; Billy says
that it was crowded and that we were off to the side, maybe standing on a
table. I mention this because there is a slight buzz noticeable between songs
mostly in one channel. I guess it is from the PA, so perhaps I had one mike
pointed at the PA and another pointed at the stage. Or maybe the mike wire was
causing a problem. Otherwise the quality is very good, and it's a good show.
The mikes may have been Sony or AKG. The cassette was a Maxell UDXL-I 90.
Recorder was a Sony TC152, 153, or 158. I think it was too early to be the
Sony D5.

I don't know if I ever gave anyone a copy of this, so maybe it's a world
premiere.

I believe the buzz present on the right channel was some problem with the mics
or their cabling. Otherwise this is a great recording, only a bit distant and
with some reverb.
