new tour story
Mike had missed the opening of this fall tour and knew he wanted to be in Rochester so we drove the VW van straight through from Texas and arrived in town in time to get a good spot in a lot near the War Memorial. This was Mike's first time to the famed venue which the band played at many times over the years and these two shows would prove to be the last. [Ed note: Deadbase says ten shows played; 1973-03-30 through 1985-11-08] The place was brimming from wall to wall, I had never experienced the floor being so tight at this venue, they must have stuffed as many people in as the ushers could take cash from. We had been discussing not going to the OTS and trying to run from upfront like we did before the invention of the OTS.

We knew we didn't want to be behind the soundboard in the OTS so we piled all the gear into a backpack without a mic stand and in we went. We wound up on Phil's side about five feet left of center and 80 feet from the stage. Hand holding the C422 is a serious task; we traded off holding it about every 30 minutes. The first set we kept the mic about chest/shoulder height to avoid detection; IMO this makes this set much less listenable than the second set mainly due to the vocals being low and the bass being powerful. The second set we had it about face level and it has some sonic moments one rarely hears in audience recordings.

The sonic clarity separating certain instruments such as both drum kits or the Hammond and Weir's rhythm guitar is noticeable with this recording. The bass in "CC Rider" and BIODTL is quite realistic, more than other FOB tapes we made this year. Even Jerry's vocal in Loser has some chilling reality and vocal nuance.

set 1- woman's voice during tune-up = "Jerry's so fat"! (or was it phat?)
The "CC Rider" is excellent with Brent supplying some great Hammond B3. The cowboy tunes are all well performed by both Bobby and Jerry. The somewhat rare BIODTL gave way to a short "Deal" ending the set after slightly less than one hour. They picked it up a bit for set 2. The "Gimme Some Lovin'" out of space had so much energy and the crowd roaring, then, in an abrupt change Jerry throws down a slow, but tight "Stella Blue". "High Time" was a stunner, the vocals and solemnity f the presentation, this was one solid version. The emergence of a second set "Let it Grow" had the crowd calling out with excitement. Bobby sang like hell to close out the show with the "Throwing Stones" > "Not Fade Away".
