Moscone Convention Center - May 28, 1982

Ah yes ... the first "Walkin' Blues" of the Bobby era.

First of all, the Moscone was a terrible place for a concert: a large underground concrete hall. No natural light once you were in the auditorium, horrible echo, and completely flat -- which meant no real visibility of the band(s). My tape of this show has mediocre sound quality, poor mixing in parts, and proceeds to be even worse for the Boz section, which doesn't help.

My memory of the actual event was one of waiting for things to get more interesting without that ever really happening. Having been to the Greeks the week before, my hopes understandably ran high. Instead, the band was distant, the sound abominably echoey, and it was over far too soon. I couldn't make out what Boz was singing or who was on stage.

More memorable perhaps was Country Joe revamping the "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" with "Teheran" for the original version's "Vietnam". Lastly was the Jefferson Starship, performing their various hits and material from MODERN TIMES. A couple years later, Grace Slick pronounced herself too old to have long hair anymore. 1982 was, in a way, the last of those days.

"It's always a nice day for a blessing"

I remember that John Cippolina got up to sit in and the sound mixer took forever to find him.
