  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 
Nakamichi microphone 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. 

  As the Tape Man Joe Springsteen collection hits its 25th release, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank those responsible once again for it happening 
in the first place. First is G, the man who convinced Joe to share recordings with us. Secondly of course none of this happens without Joe attending all 
these shows and recording them.
  
  For anyone who has never recorded a show before, it's a taxing venture. Joe's commitment to his craft was ridiculous. The monetary investment in equipment 
and the cost of attending all these shows had to be enormous. Most of Joe's tape flips are in the four-second range, which is about as fast as one can flip a 
cassette and start recording again.

  The first show at the Rosemont Horizon on the Tunnel of Love tour has long circulated from the wonderful recording from legendary taper RB. It's probably a 
miracle that RB and Joe were able to make excellent captures at this particular venue. Maybe it's also a testament to Clair Brothers for getting such clear 
sound in that cinderblock barn. There is a whistling fool who must have thought that people paid to hear him. He finally wears out during the second set.


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

Known faults:
Tape flip between Roulette and Cover Me. Patched with four seconds of Recorder One-Taking Two Steps Back - Live At The Rosemont Horizon' (Ev2).

From Brucbase Wikidot:
First night in Chicago for the tour. "Part Man, Part Monkey" includes "Love Is Strange" in the outro. "Born To Run" is solo acoustic.

Audience tape available from 'Rick B's recording, 'Taking Two Steps Back - Live At The Rosemont Horizon' (Ev2). This recording was made by a legendary local taper 
(he also taped the outstanding Chicago 08/09/85, Lincoln and Kansas City '84 shows, and many others). Sound quality is among the best of the tour, although this 
recording suffers from some low-hiss (barely audible).
