Fastway- Cow Palace, San Francisco Ca 10/19/83 xfer f/master audio cassette Flogging Molly Motorhead

Back to Doug’s treasure chest of shows. Here is a Fastway opening set for AC/DC back in 1983. I got to see the band around this time and they were damned good live. It was nice seeing Fast Eddie Clarke playing- I was a little too young to see him with Motorhead. It it still mind-blowing to me to hear Dave King (Flogging Molly’s vocalist and main guy) performing here. What a career transition! It turned out alright for him.
This set sounds pretty good for being the cavernous Cow Palace. Doug always found the sweet spot of the venue.

D.O.A.- Club Minimal, Sacramento Ca. 10/7/83 xfer from master videotape

Bonus post for you all today.

Big thanks to Ken Doose for alerting me of this youtube post by Terry O’Reilly. Terry posted some Club Minimal crowd footage before, so I subscribed to his channel but he posted this on a different one. So glad he filmed some bands at Club Minimal!

The footage is dark to start and then the picture is garbled for a bit, but it gets a lot better about 33 minutes in.
