*This recording is by no means perfect, though the sound quality is really good,
*but I haven't heard anything else so until I can uncover something better,
*this is all I have.

Notes:
-t04 3:27-3:34 level fluctuations
-t05 1:53-1:54 level fluctuations
-t06 diginoise at very beginning
-t07 some minor skipping
-t08 recording problems at end during banter (not narration)
-t09 recording cuts at 8:21 - on all copies that I have seen

-During very quiet sections, it seems that background music can be heard --
either there was music in the background at the show or the taper did
not use a new tape, so there was bleeding from a previous recording.
Who knows, maybe there is a lost recording underneath this show. :-)

Fixes:
-Applied SF4.5 Pitch Shift at a setting of -80 cents to all tracks to compensate for the sped up recording.
-Retracked entire show so the beginning of the music starts at the beginning of each track.

Show Notes: This was the first known live Gamehendge, complete with narration. The date is incorrect, though the correct date is not known. Actually, the members of Phish were, by accounts, at a Frank Zappa concert on the evening of March 12, 1988. Chronologically, the show contained the first known version of Tela and Forbin's, though the actual date of this show might be after their separate debuts (see May 21, 1988, where Trey calls Tela a debut).
