Comments:  First night in Chicago on Bruce Springsteen's "Tunnel of Love" tour.  This recording was made by a legendary local taper (he also taped the outstanding Chicago 8/9/85, Lincoln and Kansas City '84 shows, and many others) and was seeded on DaD a few months ago.  Since that version had some skips in it, and since I think this sounds a shade better, I thought it would be worth seeding.  There is an odd dropout (less than a second or two of music is lost) which may be on the master or may have been a "marking" when the taper distributed the show; I'm not sure.  Mine is also missing a single drumbeat during the beginning of D2T2 which probably won't cause anyone to lose any sleep.  Otherwise this is a fine tape and an excellent document of the ToL tour.

There are other sources of this in circulation that have been equalized; this is the raw tape - I didn't try to do anything to "enhance" it, figuring that the chances were greater that I'd mess it up.
