Notes:
Wanted to post this to ABMS but found that upload to my newsserver was around
0.1-0.8 kB/second and I wanted to have this out in this millennium still so it's here on
Dime first now.

This tape is a promise broken. I swore myself to stop recording Springsteen after the
Reunion tour, partly because some of my tapes ended up being used for bootlegs, and partly
because I just wanted to get up front to the stage and have lots of fun. I managed to
leave my taping gear home the last two tours. And even on this tour, I had no serious
intention to tape this show after I was having such a great time in London where I made
it all the way to the front. My first priority for Frankfurt was to get as far to
the front as possible and have a good time. However, I had to work half that day and
then drive 3 hours to Frankfurt so I obviously couldn't end up in one of the first rows.

I still ended up pretty close to stage. I was satisfied with my place, but I didn't think
it was a good taping location, but I said hell, now I've got this stuff here so I just
did hit the record button.

As for the sound quality: It ain't my best, but it isn't my worst either. I must admit I
have not yet heard any boots from the current tour, so I really can't compare. I'd assume
it's about average for this tour, but I don't know. There is some slightly distracting
crowd noise and some close loud claps. Maybe you'd like to wait for a different source
if you're sensitive to these kind of things.


General notes:
Please don't spread as MP3, AAC or other lossy formats.

Please don't use my tapes in matrix remixes.

Don't sell my tapes (note the intentional absence of the word "please"). I already
stopped taping once because my stuff was used on Crystal Cat and Dobermann bootlegs and
I have no problems to stop again if people don't learn. In short: If you like it and
want more from me, then don't sell. If you don't like it, then don't charge other
people for crap.


Thank you for your attention. I hope you enjoy the tape.
