Guide Note
This New Haven show is a good listen if you want a full early-'80s arc: a first-set China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, then Shakedown Street to open set two before Estimated Prophet > He's Gone > Drums/Space > The Other One > Wharf Rat > Sugar Magnolia. He's Gone carries a clear Bob Marley dedication, and its outro leans toward Truckin' before the drums take over.
