Best first listen: May 1, 1981 · Hampton Coliseum · Hampton, VA, US
This Hampton show was later tied to Enjoying the Ride. The second set is almost all flow: Feel Like A Stranger > Franklin's Tower > Lost Sailor > Saint Of Circumstance > He's Gone > The Other One, then The Wheel, Wharf Rat, Sugar Magnolia, and U.S. Blues.
Another strong choice: October 14, 1983 · Hartford Civic Center · Hartford, CT, US
Hartford feels like a transitional 1983 show: crisp first-set pacing, then a second set that turns inward before finishing with newer material. It is less sprawling than some 1983 monsters but very coherent.
Another strong choice: June 24, 1985 · Riverbend Music Center · Cincinnati, OH, US
River Bend is one of those 1985 shows where the second set keeps uncorking surprises. The deep sequence after He's Gone makes it essential for listeners who want the year at its most adventurous.
First catalog performance: November 4, 1979 · Providence Civic Center · Providence, RI, US
Last catalog performance: June 2, 1995 · Shoreline Amphitheatre · Mountain View, CA, US
