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. 

Out of the first thirteen titles in this series, this is only the third that was in general circulation. In fact it's the only recording of this show to 
my knowledge. The first night in Hampton is well represented by ML's sick recording that came into circulation four years ago. This recording was previously 
best represented from the transfer of the G tape done by IvanF. That was most likely done with second-generation tapes. It shouldn't surprise anyone who 
collects, but there is a huge difference between the master recording and second gen tapes. 

There are two known faults on this recording. There are tape flips between Danny's and Bruce's solos in Prove It All Night and in the fading music of Growin' 
Up and the start of Bobby Jean. Combined there is no more than ten seconds of music lost. With no known second recorder at this time, no patch was available.

The performance itself is excellent. Bruce must have been feeling the spirit on this particular evening. Maybe being in being in his pre E Street Band 
stomping grounds of Virginia inspired him. 


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