Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium

love this version. Psychedelic as hell. You can physically feel the crowd's ecstatic reaction to hearing this rare treat. Stephen was only played 3 times in '83, having last been played just once in 79, and this here is the very final version of it in GD history.
