Comments:  This is the first time this recording has been torrented anywhere; save for a few hardcore Bruce collectors, this one is completely new to the trading pool.  This show took place at the tail end of the "Working on a Dream" tour, and as with all Bruce tours, the performances continued to gather a head of steam as they built toward the close.  I happened to be at the Chicago show (the first time "Born To Run" was performed in its entirety) and Buffalo (the last date of the tour, and Clarence's last show), so I'd completely forgotten this one until I ran across the FLACs this week.  Not a bad show -- in addition to BTR, this show features some good rarities such as "Loose Ends," "Jole Blon," and "Living Proof" (the latter of which they needed to teach themselves again, because it had been so long since they'd played it).  In hindsight, quite an enjoyable show.

The recording itself sounds excellent; vocals are prominent and for the most part the band members are well-balanced.  There are various points where instruments are under-represented (Clarence's sax comes to mind), but on the whole this is a really solid recording.

As an aside, I almost deleted this recording by mistake.  I was very new to using the iRiver at the time and didn't realize it automatically inserted a track split at roughly the two-hour point in the recording ... I checked it out when I got back to the car and assumed I only had a partial recording, and set the deck aside for a couple of months.  When I went to clear out the memory for the next show, I realized I had another WAV file that I hadn't been aware of -- turned out I had the entire show, glitch-free, from the crew feed.  It was a nice surprise!

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Kwanzaa to Dimers, I thought this might make a nice addition to any Bruce fan's collection.  Unfortunate that I didn't record it at a higher bitrate, but this will surpass the audience recording in circulation (which, I think, was mine).  

Mp3 samples are included in the comments.
