Kreator opened up the Mercyful Fate show with a ripping set. I have not followed them closely since the 80s, but it was an impressive set. They closed the show with 2 I knew- Pleasure to Kill and Flag of Hate.
Again, the audio is only OK due to a low battery in my DPA audio preamp. D’oh, live and learn.

Finally, here is today’s On This Date in History post. I searched all over the web and newspapers dot com and I can’t find a venue name or an ad for this show. The band played 2 nights before in Buffalo, so the date seems to be right. They were opening for Suicidal Tendencies on the 25th, so either this headlining show (or the ST show) was a one-off.

OK Everybody- I made a mistake with yesterday’s On This Date in History post. I had a super busy day and was in a hurry, so I pulled the DVD and uploaded it without checking it. I accidentally pulled a Testament show from Philadelphia in 1989 which is already on YT in better quality so I deleted it. Here is the Kreator video I should have posted yesterday.
The one good thing about the mistake is that Sacramento flyer king Ken Doose had a flyer image for this Kreator show, with the venue name! So we now have more info and an appropriate image for the facebook posts.

So after filming IGD, I tried to sneak some video of Kreator and hopefully DRI. Nope. I was shut down after 12 minutes. I can’t remember if Stew stopped me, or if the band did. I vaguely remember Stewart telling me to get down with that camera.

Here’s one from Chris Eng’s collection today. I was so focused on EQ’ing the show that I didn’t think to check for any tape rumble or hiss, since I boosted the heck out of the bass. Playing it back, it is definitely there but it’s only noticeable to me for the first few seconds anyway. Nice recording for the era.
