This months podcast comes to us from New England during the Fall 1983 Tour.   Nineteen Eighty Th-roar is some folks favorite era of the band, and when you find a good show it is easy to see why.  This months show is a very good representation of what the band could do during this time period.  Cousin Darren from Scottsdale suggested this show, and once I gave it a listen we both decided it would require some deeper vetting... and once we did so, it was an obvious pick to share with you guys out there.  Cousin Darren sits in with us for this episode.  For our half-time show, "Bob" brought us some really fun JGB from the same era.   Good stuff here ladies and gents... Enjoy.  Share.  Smile.
