Hmm...I always thought the Black and Blue tour was earlier than 1983,
and , as Don suggests, if these concerts produced the DFtR that
appeared on SEE, then the tour was much earlier.  SEE was released
in, what, '78 or '79?  But now I'm thinking that the first Sab. album
w/RJD was Heaven and Hell, which was released in 1980, so DFtR from
SEE couldn't have been from this tour...
