Best first listen: July 9, 1995 · Soldier Field · Chicago, IL, 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 10, 1982 · Frost Amphitheatre, Stanford University · Palo Alto, CA, US
At Frost, the first set ends with China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, and the second set holds together for a long Playin' In The Band > Crazy Fingers > Lost Sailor > Saint Of Circumstance > Touch of Grey sequence. The show then lands on a two-song encore of Satisfaction and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. For listeners who want an early-1980s outdoor West Coast show with a long connected second set and an early live Touch of Grey in a well-documented matrix.
First catalog performance: August 19, 1980 · Uptown Theatre · Chicago, IL, US
