Thanks to Charlie Miller for the C > D conversion

Possible thanks to an unknown taper.  It's unclear whether this is a patch out of someone else's rig and D3, or if the D3 was brought to the show and inserted between Bruce's mics and D5.  Also, the D5 is an educated guess.  Bruce was taping with one at the time.

Set II only.

In my opinion, a stunning audience recording with what sounds like clog dancing during Dawganova.  There's just a little tape weirdness here and there.  Tape flip cross-faded in Gypsy Nights.  25 Maxpoints if you can find it.

Bruce Barnum was a Deadhead and an avid taper from the early 1980’s until his death in 2017 at age 48.  Over the years, he taped dozens of Dead shows throughout the Northeast, as well as other concerts, some of which have not been heard since then.
After his death, about 60 of his master cassettes turned up in a used record store in Hudson, NY, where some had been bought by random people nostalgic for the days of cassettes.  The rest were purchased by a fellow Deadhead and archivist.  Bruce’s daughter, Jessica, had more, and was kind enough to lend them to be digitized.  Many of these recordings sound excellent for their age.  They are Bruce's legacy.  Thanks to Charlie Miller, Scott Clugstson and others who have helped bring them to light.

Enjoy!
