This is literally the 80s version of holding up your phone to record a video of a music concert.

And shared! And mixed.
The best way of showing you liked someone back then was by giving a mix tape.

Or some guy walking up to him “HEY BUDDY, GOT A CIGERETTE I COULD BORROW???” “DAMMIT ASSHOLE!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!”

Shia LaBeouf is in the background making his own recording as well.

In communist Poland some things you could only hear and record live, because that was harder for censors to stop. Even then there were censors backstage crossing out forbidden lyrics from the sets. However they would often get ignored as an act of defiance, especially at punk rock concerts.
