Welcome to Volume 144 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, enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

Happy Holidays from mjk5510 and Two Of Us!

The last few years we have featured a number of Christmas time shows from Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love, Patti Smith and a wonderful tribute to the classic Phil Spector Christmas release "A Christmas Gift For You".

We are happy to get into the Holiday spirit this year with another one of Ronnie Spector's charming Christmas shows this time at the Bottom Line.

The Persuasions opened the show and joins Ronnie for a wonderful version of "The ABC's Of Love". 

"Frosty The Snowman" is joined in progress but according to the newspaper review it appears this is the complete show.

Samples and artwork provided as well as newspaper ads and reviews. 

Thanks to Goody's continuing attention to detail keeping us rolling with the correct pitch week after week.

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.
