Here’s another show that Mark Martin taped. I was at the show, but I missed Megadeth’s set. We got there right after they finished and went backstage with them. They were in a TINY backstage room- maybe 8×8 feet. Anthony Schwartz, do you remember how small that room was? This show sounds pretty good for non-professional equipment, but there are some cuts early on as on the tape.

Equipment Used: Nakamichi Dragon DR8 and EMU1212M audio card.
It looks like the only things that were missed on http://www.sacramentomusicarchive.com were 3 shows from 12/31/85- the exodus show from yesterday, this one and megadeth from the same date. I guess I will need to post the Metallica one day.

I am finding more stuff from my youtube channel that is not on the SMA website. D’oh. I guess I will need to do a complete scrub of posts from June of 2016. Does anyone want to volunteer to compare my youtube channel to the website? Exciting work!

This is another one that I inherited from Mark Martin in the 80s. I am not sure if he recorded it himself, or traded for it. Recorded with non-professional equipment so quality is not perfect, but this is the only known recording of the show (as far as I know).

I’m back! Man, that was a painful PC transition. Trying to figure out how to manipulate my itunes library.xml file at 1am this morning was AWESOME.
Anyway, this was probably one of the most influential shows I ever attended. I was friends with the band so I was carrying my boom box into The Oasis to record the show. Someone from the band (Vonni or Mike I think) asked “why don’t you record through the soundboard”? I was amazed- you can actually do that? So I ran out to the car and grabbed a D90 and taped over The Faction’s Darkroom album (sorry guys).
After the show, I popped it into my car cassette deck and was floored. I had no idea you could get such good sound from a board tape! So, you are all to blame for these 10,000 tapes now.
Funny side note: years later, I was doing something and absent mindedly let the other side of the tape play until the end. I discovered that the start of the set (dance of death) was also on the end of the other side of the tape! So, that is here for pretty much the first time ever for people to hear.

Redrum were slated to appear on the Eastern Front double LP, but they waited too long to approve the 2 songs and were left off. Here are the 2 songs that were supposed to be on the LP.
Lineage: Band master cassette- my cassette- you.
Here’s another uncirculated master from Mark Martin’s collection. This was right when Possessed started playing longer sets- from 30-40min, to 50-60min. I remember going up front to headbang, and being TRASHED the next day. Screw that headbanging shit.
