TremenDOSE show!!!!! Almost 31 yrs ago, myself &2 of my buddies left Hamden,Ct.on a roadtrip to Rochester to start our 83 tour !! Drinking age had changed to 19. Just so happened our driver, Karl (R.I.P.) turned 19 the day of this Gorgeous show !!!! We decided to buy 2-6pks at a time, hoping Karl would get carded as many times as possible, surprisingly,he only got carded about 20% of the time !!!! He got a Grateful present with that opening SHAKEDOWN !!!! Anyone who has ever been to the War Memorial, knows it was a small venue, with awesome acoustics, which = PHIL ZONE !!!! Outstanding recording of a Beautiful show !! The reason for the title was the aftermath of this BLESSED SHOW. It started raining lightly so we decided to start headinng to Brendon Byrne for following show(Meadowlands,N.J.) before we got to Syracuse, only 2 hrs away, this cold rain turned into a mid-April Blizzard !!!! 2.5 feet of snow had accumulated in 2 hrs !!!! We actually had to be Plowed out 3 times before we said F... It and two of us pushed the tiny Sunbird up the hill as we almost slid into the Drainage ditch, bringing our minds back to that Tremendous HE'S GONE that we.had just seen!!!! Beautiful wknd ! Next 2 nights , STEVEN STILLS JOINED THE GD !!!! DEFINATELY A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT WAS !!!! 83 was to the 80s , what 73 was to the 70s !!!! Karl would be 50 this april,had not some drunk driver hit him head on while riding his motorcycle!!!! R.I.P., BROTHER !!!!!!!!!!

Holy Cow, what a great recording of a great show!

I was listening for a while and thinking what a great recording, I wonder who recorded it? Man it just goes to show what a good audience recording is all about.
