Hi Kevin,
Absolutely, the second set's audio quality is not as clean or
streamlined as the first set's. (The sound on my tapes does not
suggest that the quality from "Scarlet" to "River" is the same
either.) I did not consider this when I emailed you earlier today, so
that may disprove what I said earlier. The research was mostly
centered on setlist details from various websites, in addition to
trying to find the missing piece before "Big River." (I always felt
that the song that was missing was misplaced within the show, and not
completely absent from it.) At the same time, it is likely that
"Scarlet" is where it needs to be, but the song before "Big River" is
still MIA.
I'm not sure how helpful this would be, but on dead.net "Scarlet" is
listed as the Set 2 opener too.

I wish I had better details, but this type of research is is as far as
I have gone with this one.
Best,
E.
