Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Nassau Coliseum Uniondale, NY April 1, 1988 (Recorder 2 - 1st Gen) Transfer: 1980's tape trade (1st Generation) > Nakamichi CR 5A (azimuth adjusted) > MacBook Pro > Audacity > Peak Pro XT (edit / indexing / volume smoothing / patches / subtle tweak) > xACT > Flac The effort continues to get all recorders circulating with an alternate 2nd recorder of the first night at Nassau Coliseum on the Tunnel tour. This is a different recorder than the one Ivan shared previously. This comes to us by way of a 1st Generation tape that took quite a bit of work to make presentable. The main thing to note is, with the patches, the show is now almost 100% complete. The circulating Recorder 1 is cut during Detroit Medley and missing Raise Your Hand, both are included here in their entirety. The only part missing is the very start of Love Me Tender noted below. The first technical issue was some noticeable wow and flutter during the first 3 songs, I was able to get much of this issue corrected by doing multiple recordings of these songs adjusting and re-adjusting the azimuth to get the best possible pass for each song. In some cases I had to patch a song together from 3 or 4 different recording passes. I was not able to entirely correct the issue but it is MUCH improved over what I started with. The biggest problem sections are between 3:36-6:04 during Tunnel Of Love and the last minute of Be True. I was able to almost entirely repair Adam Raised A Cain. Second issue, for the first 45 minutes of the show the left channel was pretty much non existent, this has been repaired and is seamless with the rest of the show. Third issue, cuts in the songs noted below that have been patched with a speed corrected version of the previously circulating recorder 1. The quality progressively gets better and the last 3 songs sound like they may have been recorded from a different location. The second set is a bit better than the first set and the encores are a bit better than than the second set. 'Love Me Tender' was completely missing from this recorder so the taper may have moved locations to tape the end of the show. A few thank you's, "ivannf" that brought to my attention some flaws in the circulating recorder 1 which got me to digging through the tapes. Second, the always willing to step up and help "hrubesh", first for supplying samples of the circulating version for me to A/B compare and then supplying the missing parts so I could make this share complete. Known Issues: -some wow and flutter through first 3 songs, much of it repaired -Cover Me: 56 seconds patched with recorder 1, there was a flaw in the patched section that I repaired, so a big flaw is now a small flaw. -Part Man, Part Monkey: last 10 seconds patched with recorder 1 -Walk Like A Man: 10 seconds patched at the beginning with recorder 1 -Love Me Tender: missing entirely from this recorder, patched with recorder 1 which is missing the start 101 Tunnel of Love 102 Be True 103 Adam Raised a Cain 104 Two Faces 105 All That Heaven Will Allow 106 Seeds 107 Roulette 108 Cover Me 109 Brilliant Disguise 110 Spare parts 111 War 112 Born in the USA 201 Tougher Than the Rest 202 She's the One 203 You Can Look 204 I'm a Coward 205 I'm on Fire 206 One Step Up 207 Part Man Part Monkey 208 Walk Like a Man 209 Dancing in the Dark 210 Light of Day 211 Born to Run 301 Hungry Heart 302 Glory Days 303 Love Me Tender (Recorder 1) 304 Rosalita 305 Detroit Medley 306 Raise Your Hand Enjoy! mjk5510
