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. 


Probably the best way to recap what is available to talk about each source.

Recorder One: The only known recorder known up until the last few months. Available as an upgrade from the 
Anonymous Collector's tapes found here.

Recorder Two: The Barr Weissman master via ML and JEMS. The best of all know recorders do far can be found here.

Recorder Three: An uncirculated master used to patch the missing part of Recorder Two. It will be shared by itself.
That date has yet to be determined. 

Recorder Four: Tape Man Joe Master Volume 52. This torrent. 


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

Known faults:
The first couple of minutes of "Trapped" are muffled, most likely because of Joe having to hide his microphone after 
a tape flip.

From Brucbase WikiDot:
Second and last (until Kilkenny, Ireland in July 2013) performance of outtake "Man At The Top" with the same lyrics as July 12, 1984, 
with the exception of the line "movie stars and astronauts" that replaces the "one thing in common they all got" (second verse, line 
three from Tracks version). First ever performance in the U.S. of "Seeds". "Twist And Shout" includes "La Bamba" as well as "Do You 
Love Me". First time "Sherry Darling" closes the show - this will be repeated for the majority of the final U.S. leg.

Audience tape. Two recording sources circulate, the first is of average quality from an unknown source. The second is is a major upgrade 
from the Barr Weismann master tapes via ML/JEMS. Excellent professionally shot video of this performance of "Man At The Top" circulates 
on DVD - click the link above to view. The footage was first seen in the 1998 BBC documentary A Secret History.
