J-Card Comment With time off last week I traveled north and had the chance to spend an afternoon in the full JEMS archive (not just the piece of the collection I have with me in LA). Inside one of the U2 drawers were two Maxell XL-II cassettes with handwritten notes that read "Las Vegas 4/12/87." J and I were sampling various tapes and when we hit play on this one we were pleasantly surprised by the quality.

Jared did not recognize the handwriting and could not remember where the tapes had come from, but he did recall that it might have come from someone in LA who drove to the show (the other source for the LA '87s that Brother KM did not record?). Back in those days, Jared traded with tapers, not traders, and he was confident he had gotten this from the source.
