Happy Monday! Today has turned into a pretty cool day for all of you Gen X Sacramento Alt and Metal fans. Both the On This Date and the Patreon Voter’s choice are from the 80s/90s Sacramento Metal and Alternative scenes.

The first one is this. This was taped by Ricky Miramontes, who passed away shortly after taping this show. For a stretch there, it was Me, Mark Martin and Ricky pretty much covering Sacramento’s punk and metal scene. His tapes always sounded “best”, even though none of us ever used pro gear back then.

This was Exodus’ first proper headlining gig in Sacramento. They did the emergency headline set at Jones Hall in Roseville in May of 86 due to Anthrax’ cancellation, but this was their first “billed as a headliner” show. Crazy that they were playing pretty much the entire Pleasures of the Flesh album a year before its release.
