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. 

With so many great recordings from the Born in the U.S.A tour, some recordings are a little over looked. In my mind E St. Records
"Where The Rivers Meet" falls into that category. It's an exceptional capture. Bruce is right upfront and center. Whoever recorded 
it was in direct line of the PA, with what sounds like hardly anyone around them. 

Tape Man Joe was in attendance the very same evening. Unfortunately some hyperactive audience members surrounded Joe. These folks 
are up there with the all timers. The likes that can be heard on Jared Houser's Saignaw '78 and Freezer’s Mobile '81 recordings 
respectively. Their out of tune singing, out of rhythm clapping and relentless screaming keeps this from being another fine 
recording by Joe. At least it gives us another version of this classic show.

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

The ending line from Growin’ Up  "The rest is hysterical, I mean history" is missing. Not patched.


From Brucbase WikiDot:

"Glory Days" includes a snippet of "In The Midnight Hour" in the midsection. "Growin' Up" features the bear story. During "Rosalita 
(Come Out Tonight)", Nils plays "Happy Birthday" on guitar during the band introductions. Following the show, Springsteen sends a 
$10,000 check to United Steelworkers 1397, a union food bank that distributes groceries to jobless steelworkers.

Audience tape released on CDs 'Where The Rivers Meet' (E St Records and Doberman) - both releases share the same source and title 
with the E St Records version being the better quality.
