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. 

There has only been one recorder to circulate for this show up until now. Joe’s master sounds like a clear upgrade to 
my ears. It sounds as if he was pretty damn close. There are couple of small issues. There is a screamer right next 
to Joe. He’s usually only excited at the beginning or the end of a song. Second, Bruce’s voice is a little harsh on 
the tracks were he sings loudly. The shaped the recording the best I can. Overall it’s another winner from Joe’s 
collection.

The show itself features "A Woman's Got The Power" sung by Red Bank Rocker J.T. Bowen. Bruce explains that his mother 
complained that he only sings about his father. 


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

From Brucbase WikiDot:
Show features J.T. Bowen (from Clarence's Red Bank Rockers) guesting on a one-off version of "A Woman's Got The Power" 
(not to be played again until 2011), played after complaints from Bruce's mother that Bruce always sings about his 
father and not his mother. Bruce's parents are in the audience. "Growin' Up" includes the bear story. "Rosalita (Come 
Out Tonight)" includes Roy playing a snippet of "Hail To The Chief" during the band introductions.
