Welcome to Volume Sixteen of the "Two Of Us" Master Series.

Between 1983 and 1999 there was likely not a taper or taping duo more active than the "Two Of Us". For the better part of a decade and a half they taped over 250 artists with an array being taped multiple times.

If you collect Springsteen then you are already familiar with some of their work, "fmcleanboots" has posted a half dozen or so of their "Tunnel Of Love" tour shows but has decided to pass the baton.

What you don't know is their passion was not just for Springsteen but for music and that passion runs deep. It is astonishing how many artists they taped.

They followed tours taping club shows, theater shows, arena shows, big artists, mid-level artists and local artists. If they were following a tour and the tour had an off night they'd see who else was playing that night to tape.

Always focused on enjoyment of the show as the priority, tickets were for the most part acquired outside of the venue as they worked to obtain the best possible seats, continually trading up until the correct seats were acquired.

The results of this were the captures are uniformly excellent but on occasion the start of the show was sacrificed as a trade-off for the seats. The heavy lifting was done by the Sony WM-D6C and an external Shure Mic before moving to DAT for the last couple of years.

None of their masters have ever been circulated and have been safely stored for the past three to four decades in a climate controlled environment. Tapes transferred so far are in pristine condition.

Though we may do some mini releases of a series of shows in order for one portion of a tour for the most part shows will not be released in order, there are just too many of them.

This will be a very exciting series and we hope along the way we upgrade existing circulating audio and offer up shows that do not have any circulating audio.

We hope you enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

The E Street Band presents The E Street Revue @ Count Basie Theater 1992

While the E Street Band's former boss was off globe hopping with the Other Band our hometown heros were organizing a 1950's type package show supporting WXRk's "Hungerthon '92".

Max Weinberg called up the boys in the band, minus Roy and Nils, to do some good for the community. The idea was to put on an 1950's All-Star Revue under the banner The E Street Revue featuring some of the biggest stars of the early days of Rock & Roll in which each performer would play a few songs backed by the E Street Band.

This is the first time the complete uncut show is available, there has been two previous releases containing portions of the show. An incomplete FM that was unofficially released on the RoxVox (a label located in Cyprus that uses a loophole in European law to release FM recordings). This contains 11 of the songs played that night. An incomplete audience recording is also available containing 16 songs, a number of which are cut.

With this release we get to hear complete segments from Percy Sledge, Ronnie Spector and Mitch Ryder previously incomplete or missing entirely from all other releases.

There are some real highlights throughout the show, a rare E Street Band playing of the Springsteen penned "Summer On Signal Hill" and in particular Johnny Rivers and Ronnie Spector's sets, they both wrap up leaving me wanting more.

Thanks to "Two Of Us" and their dedication to capturing all these great shows as well as trusting me to be the caretaker of their work. Also, a big thank you to my friend "fmcleanboots" for putting me in touch and laying the groundwork that has resulted in what in this release and future releases.
