Additional Show/Recording Notes:   
This gig was only announced about two weeks in advance, and did not appear in the Phish newsletter (pre-Schvice). Seating capacity was probably no more than 250 or so. There was only one taper in attendance at this show (the same taper who provided the patch for the circulating aud from the following night's gig [shnid=19202]). 

I happened to be living several blocks from the Portland Performing Arts Center during the Spring of '91.  The taper joined some other friends who crashed at the apt I was then living in several blocks from the venue, and my 1st generation cassettes were dubbed direct from the D-5 to my trusty Nak BX-300. Unfortunately, my copy of the second set vanished into a black hole somewhere in the vicinity of Vail, Colorado during the summer of 1992.
