Meadowlands Magic (matrix) Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band 31-July-2008 Giants Stadium East Rutherford, NJ USA First of all, a hearty THANKS to the tapers out there doing it for the people like me who don't get out much. Without you, there would be much less joy in life. This is the combination of the two very good versions of the same show - bossman and NYTaper. Don't worry NYTaper, I didn't twiddle your bits, just laid them down next to bossman's. All tracks are aligned on sector borders, all transitions have been worked out to the most seamless possible (and remember, not everything is possible - heck, a lot of stuff isn't even probable). But after two days under the Sony Studio headphones and a half dozen headaches later, here it is for your listening enjoyment. I would really like feedback from the friends and fans of Bruce (via PM), most of whom probably have one or all three versions of this show. One comment was that this night was the jewel in the crown and after spending almost 30 hours up close and personal with it, I'd have to agree. Great performance. Please tell me what you think. Is it worth continuing doing this kind of thing? How do you think it sounds compared to... Grab one or more of your favorite tracks and give a good long listen. If you like it, grab the rest. But, please, be serious in your feedback. If you've got an itch, please scratch it somewhere else. Lastly, this matrix is dedicated to my buddy Aplay. Hope you like it. Your opinion is the one that counts the most. He's been asking me to do a matrix for several years now. This is my first (and maybe last, depending on what people feed back about this version) matrix. Hope everyone like it. The audience sure did. Enjoy, share, MP3 if you dare. My lineage: bossman284 and NYTaper versions downloaded from Dime, all files opened as FLAC with Adobe Audition, which was used for all synchronization and transition editing, saved in FLAC format. FFP with TLH, MD5 with mkwtools. See their notes for the equipment, seating and editing of their respective versions. The only deletion was the encore applause (2:27 worth) and Bruce's calling out of the New Jersey organizations supported by the concert. No bits were roasted, toasted, fried, frosted, mangled or maligned in the editing of this recording. C'mon drummer!
