I have no idea of the generation of these recordings. I received them in trade, from two different folks, so it's possible both generations are different. They are included here because they were recorded together.

Thanks to Chris Lawrence's superb SY ConChron for the following info:
Here's a quote from the guy who taped this show (courtesy of Jim):

"Anyways, the Sonic Youth/Swans thang: What he's talking about is the tape I made of both bands at a cable TV studio. They were on tour together for the 1st 12" ep's, with a gig that night in Ann Arbor. They came by the studio in the afternoon (I knew one of the camera guys) to record short sets (not together!). They sound like instumentals because there was no p.a., but there were monitors on the stage, so vocals are there - buried. I just sat in the middle of the studio with a boom box...The studio was Group W Cable in Dearborn for the record. They also shot sets by DOA and MDK, but I heard from the camera guy that all tapes were destroyed/erased. There are tapes around from the next year of Misfits, Negative Approach, and some other local punk on a show they did "Why Be Something You're Not."

from DIMENEW collection # 084

Rec. Info:
unknown lineaged audience recording, but the absence of almost all hiss lead to the conclusion that this is very low generated, maybe 1st or 2nd. gen.
Also, no info about the equipment used. Judging the sound it might've been recorded via a walkman recorder with internal mic.
This cassette (TDK SA90) -> playback on Harman Kardon CD491 -> Zoom H2n (at WAV 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME ->
YOUR EARS AND MIND... Sound is fair to good, with occasional bursts of distortions, but nothing really serious...

Alrighty, fellow Dimers, let's start a little Sonic Youth flood with recordings from the mid to end 80's, which were in the new Box of Tapes from dear DIMENEW. Hope you will
enjoy, what our team has to offer for your listening pleasure. So, let's start with a fine show recorded in (then) West-Berlin at the great Sputnik-Kino. SB.

Another little quickie, found on the same tape as yesterday's Jeffrey Lee Pierce posting. The tape insert lists this as a snippte from a show in Deventer, Nederland.
A little research states a show there on April 1st 1985, which matches up with the date of the JLP show (from May 1985). It's most likely from the same broadcast, which was given
the date of 1985-09-18 on the tape. Great quality, makes a good companion to a lot of master recordings from DIMENEW that are going to follow here soon. Enjoy! SB.
