Alright, here is another rarity from Tour Manager Doug’s box of tapes. This looks to be the earliest known recording of Los Angeles speed metal band Abbatoir in existence. They were opening for one of Megadeth’s first shows ever (the ones with Kerry on guitar).
I did my best to bring the high end down and bass up on this one- the snare was way back in the mix to start, but it gets better. One of those apparent “soundcheck during first song of set” deals.

Recorded by: Tour Manager Doug
