Dinosaurs
July 4, 1985 [afternoon]
Golden Gate Park Music Concourse - Spreckels Temple of Music [aka "The Bandshell"]
San Francisco, California, USA

This is the audio from a multi-camera video of an afternoon show "in the park". I'm seeding the audio first because I'm missing at least one of the song titles and would like to get the setlist completely correct before I finish authoring the DVD. This audio source was probably a close-to-stage microphone on a tripod to the built-in audio input of one of the video cameras. There is a bit of background noise in the mix that can be heard only in quiet spots between songs.

My Beta tape did not track that well during transfer. Because of that, there are quite a few splices, mostly during the jam of "Closer", where surgery was done to patch bad spots as seamlessly as possible.

Barry Melton says they will be playing again later in the day with fireworks at Crissy Field. That later show is listed as a video on www.johncipollina.com but is not what's being shared here since the video clearly shows that they are playing at the bandshell.
