Still in the middle of it, so not sure if the whole show is recorded.

1/26/83 Palzzo dei Congressi, Lugano, Switzerland
Festival, Young Blood, Me Without You, Salt Lake City, Easy to Slip, Bahama Mama, I Found Love, Book of Rules, Drums> Josephine
(World of Rhythm television special)

Bob Weir - Guitar, VOX

Bobby Cochran - Lead Guitar

Al Johnson - Bass

Dave Garland - Keyboards, Horns

I'd imagine the quality of the cocaine in Switzerland in 1983 was quite satisfactory.

I was running with what the YouTube poster had titled it ... thinking there was some intention.

I  believe this was from the Montreux Jazz Festival--it was released as a VHS in the early 1990s--the show I think is the January 26, 1983 gig from the Palazzetto dello Sport, Lugano, Switzerland .  IMHO--not one of their better shows--I had it and gave it away.  They were a hot little band--saw them many times in the day--repetitive setlists but when they were on, they could rock.  I loved Weir doing Marvin Gaye's Ain't That Peculiar and the old Coasters tune, Poison Ivy.  They had good chemistry.  Saw them at the Pier in Atlantic City (me and my buddy talked up Weir at his bus post show), Tower Theater--with the Dixie Dregs opening, the old Brandywine Club in Chadds Ford, PA, the Beacon, the good old Capitol Theater in Passaic (with Kaseem Sultan's band opening), Roseland, with JGB opening in Hartford, The good ole Chance in Poughkeepsie, Stabler Arena in Leigh U all come to mind.  I cried when THe Beat Meets The Street came out--band had so much better potential than that.  

There are some good Youtube shows--one from the Capital worth watching Bobby and The Midnites - Full Concert - 08/01/84--we were at this one, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syEOq1Syr4I

After that show they played Paris on 2/2/83, Sheffield 2/3/83 and London 2/4/83. Wonder why JGB never took it across the pond.
