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. 

We return to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena for the third master shared from Joe's collection (10/25 and 10/31 were 
previously shared). The 1981 leg is the first time Bruce and Co. hunkered down for such an extended stands. He played 
six nights in London, East Rutherford and Los Angeles. This trend continued on the 1984 tour and the stands became even bigger
with ten shows in East Rutherford and seven in Los Angeles.  

This show has long been available from the Mark Persic master tapes. It's nice as always to get a second tape especially from 
someone as skilled as Joe. There were a couple of flaws with the tapes. There is more information listed below about them. The 
show features "Shut Out The Light" and beautiful reading of "Follow That Dream".


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

From Brucbase Wikidot:
Second ever performance of "Shut Out The Light". "Racing In The Street" has the keyboard intro. "Detroit Medley" includes a one 
off "California Sun", most successfully recorded by The Rivieras in 1964. "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" is included in the encores, 
including Roy playing a bar of "Hail To The Chief" during the band introductions.

Audience tape. Released on CDR 'Los Angeles 84'. Excellent audience recording from Mark Persic's master cassettes available on CDR 
'Blood Ties Volume 2' (Ev2).
