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. 

This is the fifth show of the ten-night stand back in 1984 somewhere in the swamps of Jersey. The set-list speaks itself. A 
couple of songs are outside their normal spots. It's sort of strange to see Cover Me in the first set and Spirit In The Night 
in the second (if at all during the BITUSA tour). Bruce and the E Street Band are locked in and deliver an excellent performance.

There have been two recorders around for a while. Both recorders one and two are very good. Of course I'm a little biased here 
but I like Joe's recording the best. It may be ever so slightly distant than the other two, but I believe that Joe's equipment 
puts it over the top. It has an excellent bass response and a better overall clarity. I've uploaded the other two recorders to 
Jungleland for your comparison.

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

Known faults:
Unknown issue at start of show. Missing the first 64 seconds of "Born In The USA". Patched with Recorder Two.
Tape flip after "Darlington County". Patched with 4 seconds of Recorder One. The taper of Recorder Two also flipped here.
Tape ran out during Growin' Up. Patched with 124 seconds of Recorder Two.

From Brucbase WikiDot:
Features John Entwistle (bass guitarist for The Who) guesting on "Twist And Shout" - "Do You Love Me". "Growin' Up" includes 
the bear story. "Backstreets" again has a lengthy intro and a short "Sad Eyes" in the middle. "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" 
includes the "Come A Little Bit Closer" introduction.

Audience tape. Two recording sources circulate, the first was released on the four-LP set 'Marathon Man Vol. 1 & 2'. The second 
is available on CDR 'My Hometown' from 1st generation tapes (Doinker).
