There are 2 Nicksilver recordings from the same date:

Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ, October 8, 1983 (8pm show, short set opening for Hot Tuna)
Folk City, New York, NY, October 8, 1983

Details at http://www.michaelcross.me.uk/jc/gc-det.htm#ct83

Google Maps tells me that Gerde's Folk City, NYC (which was at 11 West 4th Street, not far from Washington Square Park), is sort-of 'just across the river' from Passaic, NJ.

Newspaper clippings included, showing both bookings.
