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. 

We return to the Spectrum run of shows from 1984. Or as I like to call September and October of the BITUSA tour, the sweet spot. The Spectrum shows from 09/17, 
09/11 and 09/14 have already been shared from Joe's masters. We had to come back to this show because of a transfer issue. That has all been resolved and are 
now proud to present and outstanding upgrade of this terrific show.

There are two known recorders for this show. Recorder One is the Jerseygirl tape transferred and uploaded by IvanF. Recorder Two is the G also transferred and 
uploaded by IvanF. Tape Man Joe is the source of the G tape. It was probably second-generation tape transfer done on less than top-notch blanks. There are two 
cuts from on Joe's master. They are patched with Recorder One. Thanks to Bosstrade for sending me those files.

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

Known faults:
Tape flip between Darlington County and Glory Days. Patched with four seconds of Recorder One.
Tape Flip during Growin' Up. Patched with four seconds of Recorder One. 

From Brucbase Wiki:
First "Point Blank" of the tour. "Growin' Up" features the bear story. "Twist And Shout" includes a line from "Let's Go, Let's Go, "Let's Go" along with the usual
"Do You Love Me" segment.

Audience tape. Two recording sources circulate, the first is missing most of "Born To Run" and the end of "Twist And Shout" (jerseygrl/IvannF), the second is much
improved quality and complete (G/IvannF).
