Here is one from Wayne Vanderkuil’s collection today. Back in the 80s, Wayne was one of the best people to trade with. He taped early Gilman soundboards and he made decent quality audience tapes like this one. The is one of my all-time favorite tapes I ever traded for.
Spastik Children were Jaymz Hetfield on Drums, Cliff Burton on bass, fred cotton on vocals, and either Jim Martin or James McDaniel on guitar (it was a rotating cast of characters).
This was recorded right around the time Master of Puppets was released. Hearing James and Cliff clowning around was a lot of fun to hear back then. Favorite parts of this show are when James is trying to talk in between songs and Cliff keeps noodling on bass.. so James lets him know how he feels about that. This is clearly just a drunken party with musical instruments involved.

Wayne and crew do some clowning of their own at the beginning of the tape.
