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. 

A rather warm and muggy night the City of brotherly Love, finds Bruce ready to give his brethren the rock and roll marathon 
that they desire. But many of the spoken intros are shortened, the time between songs is sparse, and many of the songs aren't 
flushed out as they would have been on many other nights of the tour. This all was probably done in the best interests of 
everyone there. 

Joe's master is the source of the "G" tape. That was most likely a second-generation tape. It sounds as if Joe was a couple of 
sections away from an excellent capture. The biggest issue is the fact that the crowd overtakes the recording. Many hours have 
been spent pulling them back via Izotope. But technology can overcome the fact that Joe was a couple hundred yards away from a 
much clearer signal from the speakers. To my ears Recorder 2 shared by Cre01 was closer to the stage. It has its own issues 
and neither one is the definitive document of this show. 


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