Transfer: C(x) (XLII 90) > Nak CR-7A > Tascam DA-3000 (DSF 1-bit/5.6 MHz) > Tascam HRE > PCM @ 2496 - Recorded w/ Dolby B on; playback with Dolby off
Master:   Wavelab 11 (tracking, remove pops, DDI Codec / Dolby B (-23.4 dBFS), levels, pitch correction) > FLAC 2496
Thanks to Joe B. Jones for pitch correction information.  
A seemingly uncirculated Radiators show with a mellow vibe.  There is a tape flip after Swamp Rat, and the messy remnants of Nothing But A Party are probably the result of tape flips in earlier generations.  Unfortunately, most of the song is missing.  
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!

vanillag NOTES (2/11/2022):  
--BIG thanks to Bruce Barnum, Joe B. Jones, mgoldey & anyone else involved in getting this out there!!  
--I added the band members info to the text file & proper song titles (according to original listing on the albums, etc.)  
--added the ffp fingerprints top the text file
--created an md5 checksum
--added pics of the venue  
--show continues after "Hold Back the Flood" as they go straight into another tune there that gets cut off basically right away...not sure how much more of the show is missing.
