mgoldey NOTES:  
--A solid SBD, don't let the lineage scare you off.  The end of Set III and the encore, if there was one, are missing.
--Some sort of discontinuity in "Shoot Out the Lights" has been improved but not eliminated.  
--A second gap in the middle of "Good Things" is hard to find unless you know the lyrics and notice the "i got a woman" verse is half missing.  
--A third, at the tape switch during "Let the Red Wine Flow", has been improved but at least several seconds are missing.  
--A final gap, also probably a tape flip, during "Last Getaway", has been smoothly crossfaded.
--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, as well as 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, where some had been 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.  
--Enjoy!

vanillag NOTES (1/5/2023):  
--BIG thanks to Bruce Barnum & mgoldey for their parts in sharing & mastering this the Radiators 1985 show & especially to whomever originally recorded it.  Absolutely Appreciated!!  
--Regarding the note above about the "end of Set III and the encore, if there was one, are missing." - that's not true thankfully...at the end of t30, the band says, "That's about all we got time we got for the night, thank you very much good night" & then there is a small splice there (pause from the original recording??) & then the next 2 tunes which are obviously the encore tunes.  Now, I', not sure if there were more encores after "Cold Cold Cold" as that does indeed get cut near the end, but t31 & t32 are definitely encores here & that does mean we get the entire Set 3--WhooHoo!!  
--I added the band members info  
--corrected a couple song titles to their actual title
--corrected some song titles according to how they are listed on the original albums 
--added more detail to the venue info  
--added more detail to the setlist  
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file
--created an md5 checksum
--added pics of the venue
