My ticket stubs say I was in the 300's, but I know for sure that I sat in the 100/200's behind the
stage. Back in the day, Uncle Bobo (Bill Graham) was a fan of mounting a set of high quality
speakers behind the stage. MSG was packed to the rafters for these shows and seats anywhere in
front of the stage could not be had for these shows for the love of money. I remember being
centered just below the rear facing speakers, which produced a very nice sound (except for the
screaming shrill, whom you will have no problem identifying.)
This recording has never been released by me. It is in the hands of just a few friends in analog
format. I am releasing this now ahead of other projects, as it was recently requested by a friend
whom I don't doubt would gladly do the same for me with any of his master recordings. I'm
pretty sure there is a bootleg video of this show that is circulating, however, I don't think that is
the complete show. This is the full show from beginning to end. Note too, the set list posted at
dbetree is wrong in a two places. Jeff Beck's fourth song is Freeway Jam, not Blue Wind.
(Andy Fairweather Low sings on People Get Ready and Going Down.) Also, Ronnie Lane sang
Long Gone before Goodnight Irene. If there is a favorable response to this show and a demand
for more, in a week or two I'll convert and upload the December 9, 1983 ARMS MSG show,
recorded from the exact same location.
Hope you all enjoy this show. If you do, please pass it along to all your friends. As always your
comments and favorable star ratings are greatly appreciated. (May those who sell this, or any of
my recordings on e-bay, etc., reap all the bad karma you justly deserve.)
