Jim,
I don't think they ever did a show together.
Vince died Friday Oct 3, 1986. On Sat Oct 4th and Sun 5th, I was set up at a show in Connecticut (Newtown I think) where Joe, Dom, and Vince were set to appear. The promoter was Chris (I can't remember his last name, but he always wore a cowboy hat). He had it billed as the first time the three of them were at a show together.
Obviously, when news of his passing arrived the night before the promoter was panicked. Joe and Dom had already arrived, but a lot of discussions were had about what they were going to do. In the end, the story Chris told me, was that it was Dom who convinced Joe to stay and complete the show, I was told that Dom understood the financial commitment the promoter had made and Vince would've wanted them to stay and not leave the guy hanging.
It was a very emotional show for them both. They were often seen with tears in their eyes.
