That settles that then! haha there's certainly value in keeping it just a performance space.

It's definitely not a commercial venture. That was my understanding of why he's tried to keep admission low and none of that money went to the club, only the artists. Zorn's gone off on all sorts of people over the years who've taken photos, tried recording....

I don't think Zorn thinks of the Stone as a commercial venture. I've seen him angry about recording. He considers some performances as sacred live events that should only exist while its happening in real time. Otherwise he could livestream every gig. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

The Stone is NOT a good recording environment....traffic noise gets in easily, and the space is cramped enough with the musicians, gear, and minimal PA system, adding mic stands, cables etc would be asking for trouble. Even doing a stereo capture is tough in that small space. Not that it CANT be done, but its far from ideal.
Per the recording live shows to sell as downloads (&/or physical release), etc discussion there's been here in the past it occurred to me that Zorn seemingly has the perfect scenario to pull that off (IF it can be done in an economically viable way) since it's a set, well-known location/venue (in NYC at least) & his name would provide adequate "marketing" to make their availability "known." I know of the 2 or 3 'The Stone Issues' that have been put out - just wonder why that isn't done more often. Especially for the better known names that play there. He has the record label too obviously. The "split" between all the various parties might be an issue but some equitable distribution seems possible. I'm not in that business so presumably if he thought it was worthwhile &/or a sustainable money maker he'd be doing it more already.
