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. It's hard to imagine when there was a time when Bruce was a bigger star than he was taking the stage for the final of show of a six night stand at Giants Stadium. I guess one could argue that the shows to close the tour in Los Angeles the following month, but here is the New Jersey native finishing a stand in his home state were almost a half a million people saw him. As I stated in Volume 63, I've never been a fan of the 1985 stadium tour. There is something missing. The Bruce juice if you will. That isn't the case on this particular evening. From the get go Bruce grabs the audience and never let's go. The only other recording I have from this show is Recorder Two, the JimCT master. That's not hard to believe since I usually dispose of inferior recordings when better ones find the light of day. That being said, Joe's recording is much more dynamic than the JimCT Master.
