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).
Recorded by: Mark Martin (Maybe)
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.

I did not film this one (I think Jimmy Seville might have) but it is the only video I have from Oasis. Panic included Stanley Hannahs on bass and vocals, and I know that Arson had Jimmy Seville. Do any of my old school metal friends have more info? Lisa Edgar Kim Cook Barbara Keeth?
Recorded by: Jimmy Seville
