patched with Recorder 1 (no music)
With lawsuit troubles behind him and a new LP in the can, Bruce and the band hit the stage in Buffalo for opening night of what would be an epic North American tour in support of the yet to be released new LP.
Through detailed research the Bruce community has brought to light two solid recording sources for the opening night as well as the three recording sources for the first Philadelphia show less than a week later on the 26th.
The recording is top notch, the taper did an excellent job capturing all of the show on very good equipment. The pitch was consistently slow and was easily corrected, there was a lot to work with as far as a wide frequency spectrum which made mastering very easy. This one is highly recommended and is a very nice upgrade to the recorder 1 source.
We do get some interesting Bruce speak between 'Rosalita' and 'The Promise' that is missing from the Recorder 1 tape. Some idiot sets off a bunch of firecrackers and the crowd starts booing, Bruce then scolds them with "you boys with the fucking firecrackers go ahead and get the hell out". Then asking the audience to sit down for a beautiful version of 'The Promise'.
Once again, thanks go out to a number of folks that helped put me in touch with Dan, their assistance and passion for Bruce and getting this music in your hands continues to be invaluable...IvannF, EarlMv, Oats1jvo as well as E from JEMS for the use of the NAK DR-1.
The biggest thanks go to Dan for making his archives available for us all to enjoy...feel free to show your appreciation on the comments.
