* Full track from the "damien" source due to some over recording problems. M.P's explanation:
"Born In The USA is very over recorded, I corrected the levels after that song"

** Track ending (mostly audience noise) includes a few seconds mixed from the alternative damien's 30/9/85 source.
*** Track includes a few seconds mixed from the alternative damien's 30/9/85 source.

notes:

I think it was in 2004 when the 'damien' source for this show started to circulate -
it was a lot better than the original source but it was for most parts fucked up
with noise reduction and the sound wasn't too good either (though it was a big upgrade).

This boot is 'remastered' from Mark Persic's (surprise, thank you Mark) master recording which seems to be a big upgrade
again.
As this show is one of Bruce's best shows, I tried to improve this as much as I could - here are the results.
As I've said before, 'Mark's tapes are mostly very easy to improve' which means that these won't take as much time as most
shows take to improve.
This show suffers from some loud audience noises from time to time, but if I can live with it, I hope you can too.

'Remastering' information:

Main source: 30/9/1985 Persic FLAC upload from master tapes

Source for edits marked with a '*': damien's alternative 30/9 source
Show completely re-EQ'd, multiband compressed (not much) and tracks re-indexed. Raised higher frequencies while lowering
certain others to remove the 'muddyness' (sp) of the original source.
Also a lot more was done to improve this but I never list all the editing. (Who really cares about that anyway)

" Audience tape. After a very successful summer tour of Europe, Bruce brought the tour back to the U.S.,
this time in stadiums. Some fans felt the stadiums took away the intimacy of an arena show,
and some fans felt Bruce didn't change the set list as frequently as he did in arena shows.
But the last two weeks of the Born in the USA tour, and especially the last four shows at the LA Coliseum,
showed Bruce really enjoying the homestretch. "Stand On It," premiered in August, became a staple of the encores,
and "Janey, Don't You Lose Heart" was played in Los Angeles, the only E Street Band until August 7, 1999.
Several songs, including "Born in the USA," "The Promised Land," and "Bobby Jean,"
were later included on the Live 1975-85. " - theboots.net
