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 
a Nakamichi Mic (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. 

A lot had changed since 1988. Bruce broke up with the E Street Band. He was married for the second time and became a father. In very un Bruce like fashion, he
released two albums on the same day. He kept Roy Bittan, added a bunch of studio musicians and hit the road. After 15 shows in Europe, the new band settled
into an 11 night stand on Bruce's home turf. The second show featured here includes a couple of tour premieres featuring a rearranged "Open All Night" and a 
cover of Wilson Pickett's "99 and a Half (Won't Do). 

To my knowledge there was only one recorder that circulated from this show. While not perfect, this is a big upgrade to that recording. It is a tad distant
with some echo, but it has some really nice low end kick to it. 

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

From Brucbase wiki:
"Open All Night", "Badlands", "All Or Nothin' At All", "Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do)", "Real Man" and "Tougher Than The Rest" are added to the 30-song set
- longest of the tour to date. First ever performances in the U.S. for "All Or Nothin' At All" and "Real Man". "Open All Night" is a new arrangement with Bruce 
playing the song alone on the guitar all the way through with help from Roy on the keyboards and Shane on the slide guitar before the full band kicking in at 
the end. The second set includes the last known "Real Man" and the final "Tougher Than The Rest" of the tour.
