Notes

iZotope RX2 denoiser tool to dehiss.

Running too fast - speed correction with factor of 92%

Fair bit of rebalancing of volume levels, which were all over the shop.
Cuts out at end of Stay.  Gap before Waiting For The Man removed with fades.
Cuts out end of Waiting For The Man.  Gap removed.
Cut between Panic In Detroit and Diamond Dogs.  Cuts into the latter, slightly.
Tape flip @ 43 seconds into Rebel Rebel.  Join is clean, but sound quality on second part is initially poorer than the start.

Also on the same tape was the Linus Band set, allegedly from a couple of days later.
I toyed with including this, but decided not to for two very good reasons:
1. Generally agreed that it's a fake, and Bowie's not present on the recording, and
2. It's absolute shite.

Notes

OK, this one's a little different.  Ruud upped the version of this from the double silver on 13th Feb 2009; which in turn was taken and torrented on dime by tvc15_it two years later (which is where I got it from).

Immediately I listened to it, I was taken by what good quality it seemed to be, but hidden under an unbelievable layer of thick hiss.  Out came iZotope RX denoiser tool.
Sure enough, it's very clear underneath the murk.  Hint of tidal sound on first side (eccentric tape at some stage in the past), but it's beautiful on side 2 (Width Of A Circle onwards).
Sector boundary errors checked using TLH, but no amendments required.

Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978.  His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck.  In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes.  He also had a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings.  In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.

He recorded many of the major 70's bands:  Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as lesser-known acts.

Dan never traded copies of his recordings, although he did give some copies away to friends.  These releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever circulated, and are direct from his master cassettes.

Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings.

Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.

Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.

This release features Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performing live at The Bottom Line in New York City, July 13, 1974. It was recorded by Joe Kivak, unquestionably the first serious and committed taper of Springsteen concerts. While he would go on to tape Springsteen dozens, even hundreds of times, his earliest efforts starting in the summer of 1974 provide essential and otherwise unavailable documentation of Bruce s artistic development before the release of Born to Run in August 1975.

Joe would influence others — notably Cliff B — to follow his lead and now the entire hobby of recording and sharing live Springsteen recordings celebrates its 50th anniversary this year thanks to him. To call Kivak the Godfather of Springsteen concert taping is not hyperbole.

Last year, Joe graciously loaned his master tapes to JEMS so we could attempt a modern and hopefully definitive preservation, capturing the sound, correcting the pitch, and fixing issues to provide the best representation of each performance in this case, the last known recording of this iteration of The E Street Band.

The 12-song set is stocked with a full complement of styles (rock, jazz, blues), a few covers, and previews of songs that would appear a year later on Springsteen’s breakthrough third LP. Part recitation, part workshop, and part elegy, it plays back anew, transferred directly from Joe’s master cassette tapes.

What makes this particularly compelling is the presence of pianist David Sancious and drummer Ernest (Boom) Carter, musicians who left an indelible mark on E Street. Sancious, of course, is a founding member of the band, while Carter had joined up in February, some five months prior to this show. (They were nearing the end of their time with Bruce, departing within weeks; Mike Appel would place an ad in the Village Voice that would lead to Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg joining up.)

The February to August 1974 line-up brought an unmistakable swing to Springsteen’s music, a sensibility that took its cues from improvisation and the deepest wells of possibility. Just listen to the mid-song jam as they join forces in this capture of “Jungleland” — at this point, a work-in-progress. To borrow a phrase, it rides the line of balance and holds on by just a thread. If that type of musical adventure appeals to you, this one’s a real treat.

But this combination played with a straight-ahead sensibility, too, perfectly conveyed by the next number, another yet to be released, “Born to Run.” By July of 1974, they had already spent close to six months arranging most of its puzzle pieces in the studio. With the instrumentation largely in place, Springsteen uses this moment to refine lyrics and cadences; history shows us that he’s nearly at the finish line, but the audience at the Bottom Line gets to hear one of the last pushes to get there. 

This recording plainly shows all the ingredients Bruce would distill as he moved forward (well, the electric ones, anyhow). He sounds relaxed here, and his fastball is humming, whether the commanding blues of “No Money Down” or the jam the band conjures during “Kitty’s Back” — what a sound this combination made! Hearing the long arrangements, different styles, and early takes of songs still in development is a joy.

When the opportunity arose for JEMS to revisit Kivak's pioneering work, we jumped. This is the second show we’ve taken on (the first being Avery Fisher Hall, October 4, 1974). All the circulating audio from July 13 tape — copies, silvers, remasters — springs from his source. As far as we can tell, he was the only one in the house that night, and he is the only one to tell the story today. (The first confirmed two-recorder source show would take place just over two months later in Passaic, New Jersey, October 18.)

We’re grateful that Joe had the vision to capture the music. While we occasionally lament the dearth of official Springsteen recordings from before 1975, more often we’re grateful for Joe and his efforts, something to celebrate a half-century later. Thank you, Joe!

While we did not reference all previous iterations, we generally consider the release closest to the master as the go-to for comparison. In this case, it's "Watch The World Explode" (Kivak Master Series). Additionally, this has been released on Winged Wheel's "No Money Down".

This is the first azimuth-adjusted transfer directly from Joe's master tapes. Although this one didn’t need as much clean-up as the Avery Fisher Hall recording, there was one major issue: throughout, the left channel was recorded very hot, bordering on distortion up to “Rosalita” when the distortion overwhelmed the music. Through modern technology, we were able to neutralize the left channel distortion to that point. "Rosalita" ran too hot to fully correct but it is now a much more pleasant listening experience.

Additionally, we manually cleaned up mic bumps, audience noises and numerous loud instances of beer bottles clanging.

Huge respect to Joe Kivak for the foresight to capture Bruce multiple times before his star really took off. Thanks for allowing us to revisit your work! Thanks also to SE, who got the ball rolling on our little project and Goody for his never-ending work to ensure we present all our shows at the proper pitch.

Bruce Springsteen 1974-07-13 NYC; No Money Down (Winged Wheel)

NEW YORK CITY SERENADE 
ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT)

Two shows, 8:30pm and 11:30pm, with Springsteen & The E Street Band headlining. As noted on the pre-
concert advertising material, singer-songwriter Jeffrey Comanor opened for Springsteen, performing a 
short set. Recollections differ however, and he may not have appeared at all six shows of the three-day 
stand. According to Bottom Line owner Allan Pepper, one of tonight's shows was scheduled to be broadcast 
by New York University's radio station. However, for reasons unknown, Mike Appel cancelled the broadcast.

Audience tape. The above-listed 12-song setlist is believed to encompass a complete performance and is 
taken from an audience recording of reasonable quality. This audio can be found in its entirety on the 
CD ‘No Money Down’ (Winged Wheel) and is likely to be from the second show, although this hasn't been 
verified. This audience tape also circulates as 'Watch The World Explode' (Kivak Master Series). This is 
a transfer from the master cassettes. This show includes what are currently the earliest circulating 
live renditions of opener "Then She Kissed Me", "Born To Run" (note the work-in-progress lyrics) and 
Chuck Berry's "No Money Down".

Bruce Springsteen 1974-07-12 New York City, NY - 2 tracks

1974-07-12 - BOTTOM LINE, NEW YORK CITY, NY

JUNGLELAND / KITTY'S BACK

No other set details known. Two shows, 8:30pm and 11:30pm, double billing, with singer-songwriter Jeffrey Comanor opening for Springsteen & The E Street Band, as noted on pre-concert advertising material. Comanor performed a short opening set. Recollections differ, but he may not have appeared at all six shows of the three-day stand. First night of a three-night (six-show) residency at the newly- opened club. Neither show on opening night was a sellout, although word spread quickly and the following two nights were packed.

In an interview, long-time Bottom Line owner Allan Pepper stated that he has attempted to release two tracks ("Jungleland" and "Kitty's Back") from the opening night as part of a four-CD compilation box-set comprised of performances at the club by an assortment of artists. While he received permission to issue the tracks from Springsteen and Jon Landau, unfortunately Columbia did not give their approval. Part of the concert (either the early or late show) was recorded as a test-taping for a scheduled radio broadcast the following night by New York University's radio station. For reasons unknown, Mike Appel halted the test recording mid-show and cancelled the radio broadcast, despite the station having approval from Springsteen's record company. It's possible that the two fine quality rogue soundboard recordings of "Jungleland" and "Kitty's Back" that circulate are the two tracks that Pepper intended to release.

Brucebase reader Chris Prondzinski writes about a friend who had connections with the Springsteen camp at the time: "He got a job at the Bottom Line when it opened, and Bruce was one of the first to perform there. Because of his employment and the very loose rules on security, he could get his hands on a recording of the show very easily. He said that he remembered on the first night of the Springsteen stand in the summer of 1974 barely anyone was there. So he didn't do much that night and he got an opportunity to watch the show. Afterwards, he talked to the club owner Allan and said "that was a great show, this guy should get booked here often. I really like his music." Allan responded with "Yes. If you like the show so much, I have two songs from the show that we got off the soundboard." He followed Allan into a back room with shelves and a brand new reel to reel tape was in a box on the shelf, labeled with the date. Now apparently Allan had a reel to reel tape recorder and player at the club, but the two machines were not able to make copies. So my buddy said he could make a copy at his apartment and bring it back in a few days. And so he lent him the master recording and he got a direct transfer from the original. He made two copies to two cassettes. He listened to the two songs until the tape was broken. The other one sat in a box for years, forgotten about. It finally saw the light of day recently and this story came with it."

Based on all the information we have, it seems highly likely that the two tracks are from one of tonight's shows, and are related to the radio test taping. "Jungleland" (with work-in-progress lyrics/arrangement) can be found on the CD set 'All Those Years' (Templar). A 7:43 edited version with a premature fade-out also circulates. "Kitty's Back", complete with a 60-second intro by Bruce explaining about how he pinched the song's title from a striptease club sign, can be found on the CD 'Bound For Glory' (Flamingo). Both songs are also bonus tracks on the CD 'The Roxy Theatre Night' (Crystal Cat). If the recording of "Jungleland" does emanate from this show, it would be the earliest circulating live rendition. The arrangement is distinctly different from the final version, with the closing solo instead played by Springsteen after the second verse, an extended jazzy instrumental in the middle section and lyrical variations throughout.

Notes

Fade on source tape between China Girl and Fashion.
Tape flip between Fashion and Scary Monsters - cuts the crowd noise down, but no music lost.
Gap between 87 & Cry and Heroes on the tape.  Used as the split between the two discs, but Heroes fades in on the source tape.
Tape flip between Sons of the Silent Age and Dancing With The Big Boys - seamless.
Pause between Fame and Time (encore break) is on source tape and left alone.  First note of Time is thereby missed.

Don't know original source of the interview - it was on the tape with the concert.

Three little gaps in the intro to Andy Warhol.  Removed and tidied.  Similar gap in intro to Drive In Saturday removed.
Gap (original tape flip?) between Drive In Saturday and Width Of A Circle.  Removed but rather abrupt.
Actual tape flip at 5:49 in Width Of A Circle.  Fade out/in, but only a couple of seconds of music is actually lost.
Couple of short cuts between Waiting For The Man and The Jean Genie.  Crowd noise only and removed.
