In a continued collaboration with Hobbes4444, we're happy to bring you night 8 of the 10 night stand from the master tapes.
Two recorder sources are available for this night, this is the same recorder used on the 1 LP release 'Handsomest Man In Showbiz', recorder 2 will be shared in the near future.
Premier of "I'm Going Down" and first "Follow That Dream" in a new arrangement similar to the Born In The USA Sessions version.
I always viewed these shows as a build up to the scorcher that was August 20th and this is an exceptionally strong show with Bruce upping the audience description at the end from the usual "you were great" to "you were dynamite". A subtle difference but a perfect description of this show.
Even though taped with lo-fi gear, it was recorded very close to a full array of speakers so we get a good up close sound.
Two patches noted below using the alternate source.
