1980 October, Location : New York ?
(Thanks David Stollak for the two segments of this video originally posted in 2008 which I simply brought into a one-segment video with minor modifications, dimension and notably the -15% in green color gain).
This is Jerry Garcia and Bobby Weir in a Press Conference speaking generally about their acoustic gig to come for the 8 nights at The Radio City Music Hall, NY. (Oct 22nd to Oct 31st 1980).
This is probably following their 15 night stand at the Warfield Theatre, SF (9.25.1980 to 10.14.1980) where they had just previously done an acoustic 1st set (their 1st since 1970).
We can possibly assume that this was recorded indeed post-Warfield shows as they evoke the "Simulcast" show to come of Halloween 10-31-1980, Frankin & Davis etc ...

6:39 : Anything we really can't stand ? "That elevator music ..."
6:54 : What do you think about "disco" ?
(7:16 : slight cut in original copy)

10:12 : Garcia "well, anyone have any intelligent questions ?"
11:19 : end ...
