Opened for Jorma. (Cage says "stick around for Jorma".) Jorma's sets were broadcast on WFUV, and a portion of that was on this tape as well. Therefore, this recording could be FM > C(2).

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 concerts throughout the Northeast, 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!
