Welcome to Volume 173 of the "Two Of Us" Master Series.
Between 1983 and 2002 there were not any tapers more active than the "Two Of Us". For the better part of two decades they taped over 250 artists with an array being taped multiple times.
If you collect Springsteen then 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, big artists, mid-level artists and local artists.
If they were following a tour and the tour had an off night they'd see who else was playing that night to tape. Always focused on enjoyment of the show as the priority,
tickets were for the most part acquired outside of the venue as they worked to obtain the best possible seats, continually trading up until the correct seats were acquired.
The results of this were the captures are uniformly excellent but on occasion the start of the show was sacrificed as a trade-off for the seats.
The heavy lifting was done by the Sony WM-D6C and an external Shure Mic before moving to DAT for the last couple of years. None of their masters have ever been circulated and
have been safely stored for the past three to four decades in a climate controlled environment. Tapes transferred so far are in pristine condition.
Though we may do some mini releases of a series of shows in order for one portion of a tour for the most part shows will not be released in order, there are just too many of them.
This will be a very exciting series and we hope along the way we upgrade existing circulating audio and offer up shows that do not have any circulating audio. We hope you enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

Elvis Costello @ The Beacon Theatre - New York City, NY June 19, 2002
Volume 173 of our series features the second of two nights Elvis played the Beacon Theatre in 2002.
Not only did Elvis have some technical issues on this night but Two Of Us apparently did as well. The show begins with the PA cutting out in the middle of the opening song, "45", and is not restored until the fifth song, this does result in a great audience sing-a-long during "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes". Unfortunately 'Two Of Us' appear to have had some issues getting things on track, the opening song is joined in progress and we do get the PA failing but the next song, "Mystery Dance" without the PA, is not recorded. Only a snippet of "Clubland" is recorded and we do get to hear the "...Red Shoes" sing-a-long, "Accidents Will Happen" is joined in progress and our tapers are back on track until the first encore which is not recorded, we pick back up for the second encore until the end of the show.
This show appears to be under circulated, Elvis info lists another audience recording but I do not have it, quality is listenable but there is some of that Beacon reverb present.
Samples, ad, a review of the first night's show and artwork are provided...
As always a massive thanks to "Two Of Us" and their dedication to capturing all these legendary performers, 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.
