======

Removed many cuts, some tracks (as noted above) are still missing some parts like the first drumbeats but it's not All that noticeable now.
Audio of course very much enchanced, you'll hear the difference. Clearly one of the best BITUSA tour shows.

One of only two known performances of 'Drift Away'.

======

"In August 1984, Bruce sold out ten nights at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, and each night meant something special.
This show, the last night of the stand, featured the Miami Horns on "10th Avenue Freezeout" (later used on the Live 1975-85 set) and "Drift Away,"
which also featured Little Steven on guest vocals. Other highlights included "Pink Cadillac," "Growin' Up," and "Backstreets."
Little Steven joined in on "Two Hearts." A remaster of that recording ('A Special Night') started making the rounds in late 2004." -theboots.net
