Start with these Hell in a Bucket versions
Best first listen: April 3, 1987 · Centrum · Worcester, MA, US
Another strong choice: October 17, 1983 · Olympic Center · Lake Placid, NY, US
This Lake Placid date put the band in the Olympic Center sports complex known for its roles in the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Public audio circulates on Archive and Relisten, making it a useful exact-date stop for the fall 1983 tour.
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.
First catalog performance: May 13, 1983 · William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre, UC Berkeley · Berkeley, CA, US
Last catalog performance: June 30, 1995 · Three Rivers Stadium · Pittsburgh, PA, US
