San Francisco '83

[youngstranger]

This may already be common knowledge but there is a great live recording online from San Francisco in 1983 in which Gord plays an unusual song selection including lots of Salute tracks. He also seems to be in good form and pretty funny between songs. He mentions he quit drinking 7 monthe before.

Wow, this is great. Songs on the link are out of order. I'll edit this into a proper concert sequence.

It would be great if you could share the edit, the repeated songs are a bit annoying.
