I have only the soundcheck portion of this download, as the actual show is in better quality from another recording (JC master). ****************************** Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Shea’s Buffalo Theatre Buffalo, NY May 23, 1978 (Recorder 1 - Low Generation) Transfer: DS Archives Low Generation > Nakamichi DR-01 (azimuth adjusted) > Audacity > Peak Pro XT (pitch adjustment / volume smoothing / tweak / patch / edit / index) > xACT 2.35 > FLAC Patch Source: Alternate recording source "JC Master Tape" Soundcheck Source: First 15 minutes = DS Archives / Last 25 minutes = mjk5510 archives 01 Badlands 02 Night 03 Something In the Night 04 For You 05 Thunder Road 06 Spirit In The Night 07 Prove It All Night 08 Racing In The Street 09 Candy’s Room 10 The Promised Land 11 Paradise By The “C” 12 Fire 13 Darkness On The Edge Of Town 14 Streets Of Fire 15 Mona > She’s The One 16 Adam Raised A Cain 17 Backstreets 18 Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) 19 The Promise 20 Born To Run 21 Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out 22 You Can’t Sit Down BONUS DISC Soundcheck 01 Is That All To The Ball, Mr. Hall 02 Tunings > Hello Josephine > Sweet Jane Riff 03 Thunder Road 04 Dialogue 05 Spirit In The Night 06 Tunings > Taper's Comment 07 Guitar + Sax riffs 08 Is That All To The Ball, Mr. Hall 09 Fire 10 She's The One (cut) Known Faults (main show): -Racing In The Street: 6 seconds of dialogue intro and 17 seconds total patched in two additional places -1st Set Break: last word before break and 4 seconds of audience patched -Paradise By The C: 24 seconds patched at the start -Adam Raised A Cain: 32 seconds patched -Intro to Backstreets: 52 seconds of dialogue and tuning patched -Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out: 2 seconds at start and 32 seconds patched in middle Volume Eighteen of the DS Archives takes us back to the beginning of the Darkness On The Edge Of Town Tour with a modest upgrade to the Recorder 1 source of opening night. Previous releases of this show include “Go!” and a re-mastered version of that release “Buffalo ‘78”. This new 2016 low generation transfer from Dan’s archives is clearer and includes patches to all the missing bits using the alternate recording source. It should not be considered superior to the alternate recorder 2 source released as the “JC Master Tape”. As a bonus, the fascinating soundcheck has been included, unfortunately Dan’s copy only consisted of the first 15 minutes, this has been supplemented out of my own archives so the entire soundcheck could be included. Peak Pro’s Repli-Q software was used to match the two segments as closely as possible, both segments should be considered an upgrade to the circulating version but you will notice a drop in quality from Dan’s copy to mine. Thanks to the usual suspects that put me in touch with Dan, their assistance and passion for Bruce and getting this music in your hands continues to be invaluable...IvannF, EarlMv, Oats1jvo and my compadre Butterking from JEMS for the use of the NAK DR-01. The biggest thanks go to Dan for making his archives available for us all to enjoy...please show your appreciation in the comments. mjk5510 Previous DS Archives Releases: Volume 01: Bruce Springsteen 1980-10-11 Chicago, IL (1st Gen) Volume 02: Bruce Springsteen 1975-09-21 Minneapolis, MN (2nd Gen) Volume 03: Bruce Springsteen 1975-08-01 Richmond, VA (Low Gen) Volume 04: Bruce Springsteen 1975-09-16 Dallas, TX (Low Gen) Volume 05: Bruce Springsteen 1975-09-16 Dallas, TX (Recorder 2 Un-circulated) Volume 06: Bruce Springsteen 1975-11-01 Santa Barbara, CA (2nd Gen) Volume 07: Bruce Springsteen 1975-10-04 Detroit, MI (1st Gen Aud Un-circulated) Volume 08: Bruce Springsteen 1975-12-05 Washington DC (Low Gen, presumed 2nd) Volume 09: Bruce Springsteen 1975-07-25 Kutztown, PA (Low Gen) Volume 10: Bruce Springsteen 1978-05-24 Albany, NY (Recorder 2 Un-circulated) Volume 11: Bruce Springsteen 1975-12-21 Toronto, ON (Low Gen) Volume 12: Bruce Springsteen 1976-09-29 Santa Monica, CA (Low Gen) Volume 13: Bruce Springsteen 1976-09-30 Santa Monica, CA (Low Gen) Volume 14: Bruce Springsteen 1976-10-25 Philadelphia (Recorder 2 Un-circulated) Volume 15: Bruce Springsteen 1977-03-13 Towson, MD (Recorder 3 Un-circulated) Volume 16: Bruce Springsteen 1978-05-27 Philadelphia (Recorder 2 Un-circulated) Volume 17: Bruce Springsteen 1978-06-03 Uniondale, NY (Recorder 4 Un-circulated)
