According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_East this is a compilation of 2 Head East shows, both from Denver, CO in 1980 and 1981. Though it doesn't have artwork I included a nice folder of vintage photos that you can easily use to make your own.

This band was the last minute replacement, for Styx, when Styx cancelled their appearance at Milwaukee County Zoos' "Ala Carte" in 2005. It rained all night...but this band wouldn't dissappoint. They made all 150 of us fans, remember why they were and still are a great band. After the show instead of running off, like most do....they stayed and fulfilled everyones requests, and answered every question, from everyone. It wasn't until the park had to close, that they were ushered to move along. A nice bunch of guys.....
Just a footnote.......I was "led" to believe this was available from the bands website at one time........maybe not?
Anyway, catches the band in full flight,and during their productive years

This is definitely not the Live On Stage CD mentioned at the wikipedia article (very different set list), nor is it the Concert Classics CD. It does have the same first seven tracks of the latter, though:

Take a Hand
Man I Wanna Be
Keep A Secret
Specialty
Monkey Shine
Love Me Now
City of Gold/Fly by Night
Get Up and Enjoy Yourself
Out of the Blue
Ready to Go
Jefftown Creek
Since You Been Gone
Never Been Any Reason
Take My Hand
Susan

So this Grand Rapids show might be a single show.
