Offered here for your enjoyment is a previously uncirculated, in the torrent era, Recorder 2 capture of the 1981 Hampton Roads Coliseum show. This is from a low gen tape transfer out of my own archives, it's a very nice capture that required five total patches.
Our pataches come from a previously uncirculated Recorder 3 source out of the DS archives. Both sources had to be pitched corrected, the Recorder 3 source is more distant but matched pretty smoothly for the patches.

Slightly shorter show than the end of 1980 marathons, it feels as if Bruce and company are prepping for the shorter and tighter European shows to come a month or so after. Very similar set list to the shows immediately before and after but an outstanding show none the less.
