Volume Two of JEMS' Darkness Tour Masters Revisited series is this special show from the Motor City, notable for its stunning, first-ever cover version of Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom" (sung with the help of a lyric sheet) and a rare solo piano version of "Lost in the Flood," the last time Bruce played the song until the end of the 1999-2000 reunion tour. I believe this is the only recording of the solo "Flood" that survives from the tour.

For the fresh 2010 transfer, every minute JEMS recorded is available in best-ever quality. This 24/96 capture from the original master cassettes was then passed to Flynn for his mastering touch which, though light, makes a difference. The show is being presented both in CD-friendly 16/44.1 and, if there is enough demand, high-res 24/96 versions.

If good intentions hold, the rest of JEMS' Darkness tour masters will be released in new transfers leading up to the release of the official box set in mid November 2010.

Samples provided. Feedback welcomed.
