Between 1983 and 2002, no tapers were more active than "Two Of Us". For two decades they taped over 250 artists and ~2000 shows.

If you collect Springsteen 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, top-tier artists, mid-level artists, and local artists.

If they were following a tour and the tour had an off night they would see who else was playing that night to tape. Always focused on the enjoyment of the show as the priority, tickets were acquired outside of the venue as they worked to obtain the best possible seats, continually trading up until the best locations were acquired.

The results of this were the captures are uniformly excellent, the trade-off was that sometimes the start of the show was sacrificed for the better seats.

The workhorse was the Sony WM-D6C with an external Shure Mic before moving to DAT the last couple of years. None of their masters have ever been released and they have been stored safely for the past four decades in a climate controlled environment.

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

This will be an exciting series, we hope along the way we can upgrade existing audio and offer up shows that do not have any circulating audio, enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

Prince @ Radio City Music Hall - New York City, NY March 25, 1993

Volume 253 of our series captures the second night of Prince's three night stand at Radio City Music Hall, overall a solid capture. The first 5 songs are missing, as you can imagine this was a HOT ticket, and the last 3 songs are missing. Assuming the last 3 songs were taped but in the thousands of masters is currently missing in action.

Thanks to the good professor Goody for the pitch adjustment and a big thanks to "Two Of Us" for their dedication to capturing all these legendary performers and shows many heard here for the first time, the HOURS and HOURS spent waiting in line, traveling, money on tickets as well as trusting me to be the caretaker of their life's work, our little community is indebted to you both. Also, a big thank you to my friend "fmcleanboots" for putting me in touch and laying the groundwork that has resulted in all these great releases...we've barely scratched the surface. The amount of uncirculated shows they taped and continue to get into my hands for release is staggering.

Artwork is included.
