Seattle · 2 October 1980

Raised
A show in Seattle on 2 October 1980, recalled from a ticket stub. It opened with a Yellow Snow vamp, followed by an announcement that the band would play songs the audience had never heard, mostly from You Are What You Is.
Decision
Rejected for 1980. 2 October 1980 was a Thursday, but the stub gives Friday, and 2 October was a Friday in 1981. The show is the one at Seattle Center Arena on 2 October 1981, which the archive already lists as confirmed. Its setlist matches the memory: much of it is You Are What You Is material, which came out that September. The archive's questionable Seattle date of 1 October 1980 stays as it is.
