New Tape Transfer of an alternative source following an observation at SPL that Born To Run was missing from the Anubis version.
This show was originally released on vinyl "Do You Love Me" and then on Anubis with the same title. Based on the content provided in the Jungleland artwork it was probably that version that was also used for "7th Night at Meadowlands Arena". These are all missing Born To Run and have I'm A Rocker following Jungleland. It appears that Rosalita and Jungleland were paired to fit on one LP side and I'm A Rocker moved to the final LP side with Born To Run then left off.
Given that Brucebase is also currently showing the wrong setlist order then I assume this alternative source is not widely available in the collecting community. In other shows around that date I'm A Rocker always preceded Jungleland when both were played and this tape source has captured the transition.
Quality is reasonable and listenable but in my opinion inferior to the "Do You Love Me" source. No problems with pitch stability though there are some tape burps. Quite bright and shrill early on but gets a lot better further through. This one comes with a "screamer" warning for the first set but she did get tired after about 30 minutes with just an occasional token effort thereafter.
I transferred this with dolby off and play trim at neutral. My preference is to try to transfer as originally recorded and use play trim to boost treble where tapes have got dull over time. However the application of dolby on these tapes was inconsistant particularly early on so best left off. This means that these already bright tapes will sound a bit extra shrill in places and it does lead to some hiss but relatively mild for this show.
Tapes obtained from a UK Record Fair in the mid 1980s as a C90, C60, C60 package on Sony BHF/HF cassettes.
Playback via Yamaha KX480 tape deck.
Recorded using Audacity, exported as flac files and tracks split using CD Wave.
Files tested and checked for errors and SBEs using TLH.
Each tape side was normalised individually.
The original taper had a tape change after Cover Me where there is a cut but Darlington County was then added to the first side of my tape 1. Other tape changes after Hungry Heart, My Hometown, Backstreets and Jungleland. It appears the original taper also had tape changes after Pink Cadillac and Rosalita where there are cuts.
A small snippet of the beginning of Rosalita is included where there was a cross tape overlap. I have not tried to edit or resolve tape endings so this is presented as per the tapes with no fades and just a couple of silences removed.
The following disk order aligns with the Anubis version but reflects the revised sequence and includes Born To Run. Other options may work better for this source.
