Notes:
This fileset clocks in at 81 minutes. I tracked it for 2 CDs, but if you overburn or cut out one of the banter tracks, you should be able to fit it on 1 CD.
D1T10 Magilla - slight cut, maybe last 10-15secs, for tape flip - fade out added
D1T11 Cavern - Fade in after tape flip, first few drum beats missing
D2T9 Take the A Train - Many setlist sources list this as the end of the 1st set (Setlist.com & Phish Companion)
The 1st gen tape has it as the end of the 2nd set. However, I cannot be 100% certain that it did end the 2nd set.
The 1st gen tape has a few seconds of silence between BBFCFM and Take the A-Train.
When I copied this show from the master tapes in 1991, I only copied Set 2 and I did not write the setlist on the cassette cover, I cannot imagine myself stopping the copy, pulling out the Master, inserting the 1st set Master, copying A-Train, stopping the copy again, placing Set 2's master back in and then copying the Encore. If I wanted to grab A-Train from the 1st set as filler, I would have put it after the Encore.
Perhaps John (the taper) had put the encore on the end of Set 1's tapes and I picked up the A-Train thinking it was part of the Encore.
BUT... On the Alesis CD Burner, we edited out the few seconds of silence. Listening to D2T8 (BBFCFM ) to D2T9 (A-Train), you cannot tell. The crowd noise is continuous just as it would be if the song did come after BBFCFM to end the 2nd set. I cannot hear any splice at all.
BUT... At the end of A-Train, Trey says "We're gonna take a short break. Everybody go back and get a drink. Hopefully the air conditioner will start working. We'll see ya later. Thanks a lot." So is this the end of the 1st set? Or is this the end of the 2nd set and the short break refers to them coming back for the Encore? The "Thanks a lot" comment makes me think it *is* the end of Set 2 and they will come back soon for the Encore. The band says nothing after the Encore as they leave.
I'd say I'm 90% certain that A-Train ended the 2nd set.
Some notes from what I remember of this show:
As we arrived in Providence (from Boston), there was a nasty thunderstorm under way. We got inside and settled in. John was taping from in front of the soundboard. They opened with Chalkdust Tourture (thanks to the Phish Companion for jogging my memory) and during the song, the power went out. The lights were out for a while. During the outage it was very dark. John and a few other tapers used their flashlights to put light on the stage. There was then an impromptu horn/drum jam until the lights came back on.
Fortunately, the lights came back on after a few minutes, but the air conditioning did not. It was litterally the hottest show I was at. It was an unusually warm spring day, so it was miserably hot and sticky inside the Campus Club. By the end of the show we were all drenched in sweat! (That's why Trey makes mention of the A/C problem at the end of A-Train).
This is nice recording of an under-circulated show.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Randy Gibbs for his equipment, time and help in transferring this cassette tape to CD.

MASTERING NOTES:
All edits were performed on Doomtooth by shakedown@canada.com: The first step was to "glue" the tracks together into 1 large file, then normalize that .WAV file and add 6dB. At that point I used the following plug-ins - Nomad FA770 Blue Tubes Compressor, Waves Q4 EQ, and the Waves L2. CD-WAV was used to re-track it after the mastering was complete. The result is juicy and loud without sounding compressed, I hope you like it.

Just transfered the show from the master cassette that this was cass/1 was dubbed.
I also have the Set 1 master cassette transfered.
A-Train is from the end of set 1. The enocore was placed on the tape set set 1, so when I went to grab the encore when I made the cass/1 years ago, I also included the A-Train fro the end of set 1.
Look for SHNs of the complete show from the mester cassettes sometime in March or April 2004!
