An excellent quality soundboard from the 1982 tour that appears to be under-circulated. This one ran extremely slow and took a major correction to get to the proper pitch. It was also just a touch flat and I've widened the stereo spectrum to give the highs a little more headroom and I think it really shines.
A little context around the timing of the show, James mentions that he had been in Martha's Vineyard earlier in the day to bury his good friend John Belushi. Maybe it's my imagination but there seems to be just a little extra emotional edge to the songs on this night.
Venue was not identified but may be the Sportatorium which appears to host most of the bigger shows at the time which James surely would have been considered a big show.
Sunrise Musical Theater.
