Not the most amazing recording (due mostly to the auto level set on the deck), but it is a MASTER! No eq has been used, though I think it could benefit from a little. A re-master may be in order after the raw version is out there...
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. I think that source sounds a little better than this one, though it definitely has a couple generations on it. Maybe this master source could be used to fill the gaps in the other version?
This was my first Phish show & it cost $6 to get in. HUGE thanks to Fierce for taping & keeping the archives in good order so that these masters can be shared!
