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 next installment of the Tape Man Joe Master series takes us to warm up show Bruce did before the opening night of “The Ghost 
Of Tom Joad” tour. As if dumping the E Street Band for a bunch of studio musicians wasn’t shocking enough for the Tramps out there, 
Bruce taking the stage by himself was a full on 180. 

To date there has only been one recording that has seen the light of day. Recording One is the source of “This Ain’t No Rock And 
Roll Show”. Joe’s tape we will call Recorder Two. There is a third Recorder that isn’t in general circulation. Joe is ever so 
slightly distant to the stage. He was sporting some really good equipment. A Sony Deck and Nakamichi Mic. The fans that surrounded 
him sound as if they are front row center. I faded the recording at the start and ending because of how loud the 
crowd around Joe was. 

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