83/10/15 Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT Feel Like A Stranger, Dire Wolf, Minglewood, Brown-Eyed Women, Big RR Blues, Let It Grow, Day Job. China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, Playin' In the Band>China Doll>Drums>Space> St. Stephen>Throwin' Stones>One More Sat. Night. E: Brokedown Palace. Stephen #2 of the 83 breakouts, a total of 3 plays before the song was reshelved. (MSG, Hartford, Marin County Auditorium) A touring friend's first two shows were MSG and this show, he told the story of asking friends after this performance "What, do they play this St. Stephen song every show?" We should be that lucky. It was 38 years ago today. Praise DSO.

I’ve been streaming these shows and thoroughly enjoying…The Q was a great run back in their heyday and they sound excellent at these shows… Really fun to get to hear Barraco singing so much…stuff like China Cat, Franklins, The Wheel,,etc… Tight band with all top notch musicians! Helps me remember how much I enjoyed catching this band 20 years ago. Also fun to notice Skip grooving up near the rail in the crowd on night 3 😉

Weird too because didn't the other two open the shows with Wang Dang Doodle? Hartford always seemed to get dosed good.

I saw a clip of St-> 11. It was tight and a musical smorgasbord. Evident was there are consummate musicians playing our favorite music. Wishing I was close by and in attendance.
