Comments:

This was a hot summer night in SLC. The army was in the process of distroying the "wet eye" chemical weapons at an army depot west of town about 30 miles. When they broke into the Dew Jerry started crying and didn't stop until the song was over. The tears were just streaming down his cheeks like two rivers. Killer Bolero jam too.

Takin' the party where they need it the most.......

1st "Might as Well" since 2/79... glad they brought it back, even if some '80s versions are a little sloppy.

,,,, appreciate Sirius for sharing the 8/12/1981 Salt Lake show with us today....

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down,
You can't let go and you can't hold on,
You can't go back ( so, so, so wish we all could) and you can't stand still ...
