For what its worth, the following is an excerpt of an e-mail I received from someone who lives near Atlanta and attended the Atlanta '85 gig.
"...i certainly can't confirm or deny it, i've looked for a tape of that show, but never found one. don't recall the set list exactly, but do remember they played most of the songs you listed below. so it probably is atlanta. i do remember it was a very sloppy show, so that fits with your rating also..."

Great info there. There was a little more discussion in the buy/sell/trade forum. I listened to the between-song audience banter and that DEFINITELY nails this down as a US gig. And given that the group had the wildly varying set rotation (as well as wildly varying quality of performances), those are more heavy points in favor of the 850811 date.

The individual who went to this show and provided the above info has confirmed that the gig was at the Fox Theatre. He is attempting to locate his ticket stub from the gig.
