Thirty-Two

Today, three shows, all from the Best Damn State in the Union, good ol' California.

First, still in 1976, the second night at the Orpheum.  So good.

Then we advance to 1984, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley.

It's a well-known and popular venue.  I am not a huge fan, but who cares?  This is an excellent show.

Next, to the Ventura County Fairgrounds in 1985.

The stage, as I recall, sat in the middle of the track that is used for races, that sort of thing.  Big dusty space.  Maybe that wasn't always the case?  Anyway, the one time I saw a show there, it was a lot of fun, but it was kinda dirty too.

This is a great show, I think. 1985 was a pretty special year.
