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. 

The October 1984 shows from the fall leg of the BITUSA tour (aka SlipKid68 bait) were tremendous for many reasons. The setlists 
were excellent, often featuring rarities only heard once or twice on the entire tour. Secondly the performances were just  
flat-out outstanding. Both of the are true in the fourth LA show found here. The crowd noise is near deafining during "Born In  
The U.S.A" yet it falls off the cliff during "Night". Sign me up any day for the powerhouse ending of the first set that 
included a rare "Shut Out The Light", along with "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", "Badlands" and "Thunder Road".  
  
The first two shows of the stand as well as his recording from the epic Halloween show were released from Joe's masters over a  
year ago. The third show has some technical issues that we're working through. Joe's recording is the source of the "G"  tape 
that has been around for some time. That version is a second generation tape. Unfortunately, the fifth side of this show 
was not able to be located at this time, so the last almost nine minutes are from the 2nd generation "G" tape. Let's call Joe's 
master Recorder One and the "JG" tape Recorder Two. There is a third recording in limited circulation.  

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