JEMS is pleased to continue a long partnership with CB aka Mr. Anonymous to present fresh transfers of one of Bruce's legendary multi-night stands directly from CB's master tapes.  In the annals of Bruce Springsteen tour lore this series of shows stands out as one of the most important to his legend.

We wrap our series with the final show on the 19th. Two previous releases circulate as "October 19, 1975: Last Night At The Roxy" (Racing In The Street) and "Yes, We're Talkin' To You" (Fanatic). The Fanatic release is directly from the master tapes via "cassette > CDR".

As with the the previous night the transfer was done extremely well but it was not azimuth or pitch adjusted. This release is azimuth and pitch adjusted, which we believe takes the show up a notch.

The mastering on the previous releases tend to lean toward a slight boost in the high end frequencies adding a touch of background noise. We have chosen to use a more subtle mastering as to not add unnecessary background noise, we feel this gives the shows a more natural sound. 

The series of shows at the Roxy Theatre were a triumph and important point in Bruce's career. This is the crowning jewel of the four night stand, CB says it has by far and away the best E Street Shuffle he's ever experienced and the night was about fun for both the band and the audience. 

CB's taping location was similar to the late shows on both the 17th and 18th at a front table very near Bruce. 

Our title, "On The Mean Streets Of Hollywood" pays tribute to the legend that Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorcese attended this show lifting the line Travis Bickle famously delivers in 'Taxi Driver', "you talkin' to me?" from Bruce. We have no idea how accurate this is, these things tend to grow over the years but either way, true or not, we like the title. 

Once again, we owe a big debt of gratitude to CB aka Mr. Anonymous for not only trusting us with his master tapes but having the foresight to come armed with a deck in the first place.
