Not the most amazing recording (due mostly to the auto level set on the deck), but it is a MASTER! This version has been EQ'd to sound a bit more normal (boost some bass, lose some mids & high-mids), it's much better now!
I'm told by Fierce (the taper) that the only other rig at this show (the one that commonly circulates) was a Sony stereo mic (not mini) & probably a Marantz PMD 430 cassette..?
This was my 1st Phish show ($6 to get in). There are 2 circulating recordings and both have their flaws...this master cassette needed EQ & was missing all of Buried Alive & most of Coil (along with a bit at the tape flip in Divided Sky), so fills from the other source are used to complete the show. This is "V2".
HUGE thanks to Fierce for taping & keeping the archives in good order so that these masters can be shared!
Another quarantine-driven project...
Enjoy!!
