The concert took place at a small venue near Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, called Dooley's. Dooley's were famous at that time for their progressive shows and a drink called the "car crash" which was mostly rum and vodka. I apparently took leave of my front row seat several times to make use of the facilities, and snapped shots while I was up, as well as seated. I have always considered myself a p**s-poor photographer, but I surprise myself at how well some of these scans turned out. This was a small room, with phenomenally good acoustics. The band, and Steve, put on a show which I will never forget. The third shot in this series (Top Right) is Steve performing an acoustic version of Horizons, which was a sentimental favorite of mine, and had the crowd howling.
I also recall that the last number had Steve slamming away at his guitar, and then putting his pick in his mouth and playing his guitar directly in front of his face. Just before he left the stage for the last time, he dropped the guitar and revealed blood dripping from between his lips onto his chin.. (from a stage prop I assumed !?). I walked out wowed by the performance and somewhat shocked by Steve's stage antics. (Early 80's, eh?).
