Ha. I see myself down front.  Lol 

Fun day.  My first show, like a few others.  Second set pre-drums is fantastic 

Yea as was kind on in the area where that field phot was taken--a bit more to the right.  Muggy Labor Day.  Remember it well.  This show, for some reason--maybe because it was post English--seem to get a bit lost in ther lure of the NY area shows.  Still close my easy and see that Looks Like Rain.  I was 15, had several show under my belt, but this one sticks out

> 10/21/83 Worcester

Better than the one a week before in Hartford?

I was there. First GD show. It was a blast. But I disagreed with Dick when he made that list and still do.

Solid show. Not a top-10 thing in it, to these ears.

I'd heard tapes of Englishtown a week or two prior.  Might have been a factor as far as not being blown away.

 

 5/23/82 Greek Theater

That was the Sunday show of a smoking hot weekend at the Greek. If they ever box set those shows I will lay my money down.

 

there is something special i cant quite place in this era, between the height of 77, and 80s arena dead. 07/08/78 might be an all timer IMO
