Levels on this recording were extremely low, and tending to wander a bit from left to right.  In two places, the left channel dropped almost completely for a second or two, and has been replaced by the right.  Ozone maximizer used to bring everything up and even it out a bit.  Sounds much better now.

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, 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.  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.  Thanks to Charlie Miller, Scott Clugston and others who have helped bring them to light.

Enjoy!
