Recording Information:
1] The Sennheiser binaurals were pressure gradient "omni" type capsules designed to be worn on a human head or the supplied dummy head. This is one of the best representations of how they sounded in this type of live environment.
This will sound BEST through headphones; through a stereo you may choose to increase bass slightly.
2] First set tape was stopped between every song break; we must have been trying to conserve tape. Second set same method until after drums.

the tour story:
Second night in Hampton. We had some who were with us in 1983, Pinney, Fran, Olvy, Mike, but so many great folks had added onto the executive crew by this time, I recall there were at least 4 hotel rooms that we bounced between. The Virginia crew, Sean, Gary, Shelly and Mikey, I may have met Pat Gillies at these shows. Mainers, Greg, and Tom Fernal and Gordon who we just met, and the Long Island crew JJ and Scott and Rob Cohen and a couple more if I recall. So this day two was certainly spent in the company of good people and we had quite a show to talk about with the anticipation of what might be played this night crackling in the air. Long time heads, of which I was not at this point, figured no way could they top the Mickey talking drum and overall stunning Scarlet > Fire, others such as myself hoped for a show to top even that.
I'd say we got neither, most heads graded it as not better than 4-13, but in no way an off show. They played a solid show and threw in a sweet Terrapin Station on their way toward a Morning Dew out of space which was anticipated by Pinney if only because he somehow always knew how many shows it had been since the last Dew. Just as we must have been, the band was in day 2 mode as well, they looked both relaxed and rumpled as if a couple of them had slept in their clothes. The Feel Like a Stranger, Brown Eyed Women and Let it Grow are strong first set offerings. Listening back it seems to me part of the allure of the oddly shaped building and the overall GA seating presented an acoustic response that highlighted Phil's bass and the odd harmonics of Bob's rhythms and Mickey with Billy's sticking patterns.
After the show while listening to the tapes we started planning the long drive back to Syracuse weighing in the next show was in Rochester with only one day in between. Since we had the GDTS first tour ticket booklets for this tour we could easily keep track of the journey we were to be on! It was noted we needed to pace ourselves which I'm certain most of us did not heed that advice. In the morning plans were made to meet others in Rochester or Syracuse for caravanning and away we went.
