St. Stephen
Oct. 31, 1983
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.
