This tape sounds better than the lineage suggests, with much less hiss than you might expect.  It was marked "Set II" but after Gimme A Rainbow Dave or Ed says "we got at least one more set to go."  https://etreedb.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=20767 shows two songs played before Mustang Sally and a Domino encore, and otherwise matches the setlist above.

There were bad tape flips in the middle of Straight Eight and another one during Hard to Handle.  The latter, and the one in Lucinda have, happily, been made to vanish.  Straight Eight still has a noticeable kink in 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.

Enjoy!
