Welcome back to the series of probably uncirculated audience recordings. So the story goes, Tape Man Joe attended many concerts. Joe used a Sony D6 with 
either a Sony 929 or 939 microphone (memories have faded on which exact mic) and TDK metal tapes. Joe made a few copies and gave them to friends but never 
actively traded his recordings. Recently Joe lent a few of his masters to his friend, Jungleland user G (a generous collector himself who has lent tapes from 
his collection to help upgrade many shows). G asked me to finish off the transfers and post them. 

This is one of the most well known Born in the U.S.A. shows, with eight tracks used on Live 75-85. There is no real reason go over the performance. The 
star here is the recording. If you have heard Tape Man Joe's recordings from the first two shows of the stand, this is every bit as good and probably better 
than those recordings. Joe was close to the stage all four nights. He locks in quickly stays in line throughout. There isn't much in the way of audience 
interference. 

There are a couple of quick tape flips at the end of a few tracks (The River, The Promised Land and Cadillac Ranch). I decided to cross fade them and 
attempt to smooth them out, instead of patching three to five seconds of applause. No music is lost and it sounds less jarring than switching back and forth 
between sources. Let's call Mark Persic's master recorder one. The version released by damien being recorder two. This would be recorder three.
  

This cannot be uploaded to Dime-a-Dozen without it being butchered to hell. Please do not do that.


Thanks to Tape Man Joe for recording and sharing his tapes and G for transferring the files.

Known faults:
Quick tape flips at the end "The River", "The Promised Land" and "Cadillac Ranch". No music lost. 

From Brucbase:
"Cadillac Ranch" includes the "Land Of A 1000 Dances" chant in the introduction. One of the main source concerts for the official Live/1975-85 box set, which 
included a total of eight recordings (“Born In The U.S.A.”, “Darlington County”, “Seeds”, “The River”, “War” (with overdubbed Nils Lofgren guitar solo), 
“The Promised Land”, “My Hometown” and “Cover Me”) from this show. In addition, “My Hometown” and “War” were later released as video clips, and also included 
on the Video Anthology VHS/DVD.

Audience tape. Two recording sources circulate, the first is available from Mark Persic's master recording, which is also used for remaster 'The Promised Night' 
(Ev2). A second source (damien) was released as 'Blind Faith (Erno). EV2's 'The Promised Night' uses "Born In The U.S.A." from the 'damien' source due to over 
recording on the Persic source as well as patches to four songs. Persic's audience recording suffers from occasional loud crowd interference but is still an 
upgrade over any previous recording of this great show. Several pro-shot clips from this show also circulate apart from the official videos - "Born In The 
U.S.A.", "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", "Seeds", "The Promised Land", "Cadillac Ranch", "Thunder Road", "This Land Is Your Land" and "No Surrender". Most are 
sourced from the 1986 BBC documentary Glory Days. The complete "This Land Is Your Land" (including spoken introduction) was broadcast on ABC's 20/20.
