New Haven, Connecticut 1981


Recorded at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, Connecticut, hence the title of this show.
Radio show which has exceptional quality and one of the first bootlegs to feature a Buck LONG solo on 'Veteran of the Psychic wars'.
Playing to a crowd of over 9,000 this show the band are once again on fire.
Truly great show and yet another winner from the '81 tour.
This comes in some different formats and here is a different cover albiet a bland.



The sound quality is absolutely fantastic and this show is just so enjoyable. 
'7 Screaming Diz Busters' crops up for the first (and last) times on this tour. Unfortunately 'The Red and the Black' isn't on it (man I love that track-especially with Rick Downey) . Albert's been out of the band for a whole month now but you'd never guess as the band are tight with few mistakes providing a rockin' time for everyone. Really glad this got captured in such great quality,
HIGHLY recommended to all.
