For whatever it's worth, the 12-4-79 show in Buffalo (the day after Cincy)
starts with Roger saying (this is from memory) "We lost a lot of family last
night.  And this is for them."  So, a show was dedicated to their memory.
Pete introduced "Music Must Change" by saying that the song was "now more
portentious than ever", or something to that effect.
