The Grateful Dead in Concert at the Broome County Civic Center, Binghamton NY on May 9, 1979. Photos are taken from a position right behind the lighting and sound booth. The first photo shows exactly why Dan Healy got fed up with tapers mics blocking his view of the band which lead to the creation of the Tapers Section thus legitimizing which was always 'bootleg' recording of Grateful Dead Concerts once and for all time.
In my opinion this and the next at Billerica were the turning point shows. Seas of mics in front of the sound and lighting booths. Two shows after this, Amherst, taping was hurriedly banned and remained so until the band came up with the solution.
