Source:   3x Nak 701s > MX-100 > D5 by Bruce Barnum
Transfer: Cassette Master > Nakamichi DR-1 > Tascam DA-3000 (DSF 1-bit/5.6 MHz) > dBpoweramp (24/96)
Lineage:  Wav24/96 > Wavelab 10 (tracking, patching, pitch correction) > FLAC 2496

Set II only.  A few seconds of drums patched with the raw Oade PCM source, which also provides the end of the NFA crowd chant through Baby Blue (which was probably on Side B of the cassette that had the first set, which is missing).

Sounds like a fun show.  The recording is slightly unbalanced (the right channel is about 3 dB louder than the left) but aren't we all?

Thanks to Charlie Miller for the C > D transfer.

Bruce Barnum was a Deadhead and an avid taper from the early 1980â€™s until his death in 2017 at age 48.  Over the years, he taped dozens of Dead shows throughout the Northeast, and 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.  Some were bought by random people nostalgic for the days of cassettes.  The rest were purchased by a fellow Deadhead and archivist.  Bruceâ€™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!
