Joe Kivak Original Master Recording

Tools used: Roxio, Magix, CD Wav Editor, Switch

I just wanted to say that technically this is Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. But, for the sake of consistency,
a lot of those early shows booked Bruce Springsteen as a solo act. Somewhere in the mid-seventies the ads for the
venues began mentioning the E Street Band. At this particular time the MC introduces just Bruce Springsteen.
This is 1974 Volume 4 of Joe Kivak�s master recordings. Here is a classic Bottom Line show and for the most part the
sound is pretty damn good! THINGs TO CONSIDER WHEN LISTENING is that these early recordings were made with small cassette
recorders and the technology wasn't what it is today. However, the master recording is the source being used here and this
is a huge improvement from the early days of tape trading when you got a copy of a copy of a copy. With each copy
the quality was lost until you got a buried jumbo of what used to be a nice live show. Here you'll get a first generation
lossless master recording!

The show kicks off with a great version of �Then She Kissed Me� According to BruceBase Jungleland is cut, but here is the
complete jazzy version! Sandy however, stays true to being incomplete. Born To Run in it�s early stages has different lyrics.
Listen for the line �And then watch the world explode.� Having this early version of BTR is in itself worth having. The
classic �No Money Down� is another rare song that makes this show special. I would loved to have been at this show seeing
Bruce Springsteen in such an intimate venue. Wow, just look at the ticket scan on the artwork, it reads $5. Can you imagine
paying 5 dollars to see Bruce Springsteen? Wow, that was something!

Some tracks like New York City Serenade, has small edits. Some of that is due to the cassette having to be flipped over.
Also, Rosalita has a little more distortion. The levels on the recorder must have been accidentally turned way up.

Fanatic Records and Mr Anonymous presents another installment of the Kivak Master Series!

Enjoy!

Two shows, 8:30pm and 11:30pm, with Springsteen & The E Street Band headlining. As noted on the pre-concert advertising material
, singer-songwriter Jeffrey Comanor opened for Springsteen, performing a short set. Recollections differ however, and he may
not have appeared at all six shows of the three day stand. The above-listed 12-song setlist is believed to encompass a
complete performance and is taken from an audience recording of reasonable quality. This audio can be found in its entirety
on the CD �No Money Down� (Winged Wheel) and is likely to be from the second show, although this hasn't been verified.
This audience tape also circulates as 'Watch The World Explode' (Kivak Master Series). This is a transfer from the master
cassettes. This show includes what are currently the earliest circulating live renditions of opener "Then She Kissed Me",
"Born To Run" (note the work-in-progress lyrics) and Chuck Berry's "No Money Down".
