Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force- Kabuki, San Francisco 1/11/85 xfer from master tape

Here’s another Doug tape for you all- it looks like there was a partial version of this show out there, but no complete ones. It is hard to tell if the other one on YT is the same recording as this- the other one sounds very different, cuts in mid-show and has a bunch of tape hiss and hum. This one is clean and complete. Thanks Doug!
I did not know that YJM played any shows in the US in early 85- I saw him at the Crest in June of 85. Apparently he came over twice to play/tour.

Rampage Radio Show- KUSF, San Francisco Ca. Early 80s xfer from 1st gen Audio Tape Anvil Chorus AIIZ

During lockdown, I have been trolling Ebay more often than usual and I saw this tape for auction. It was listed as “Metallica Demo”, but when I saw the tape, I knew exactly what it was… and I know Ron’s handwriting from trading tapes with him back in the 80s. I was able to snag it for kinda cheap to share here. This is the best quality recording I have heard from the old Rampage Radio shows.
Side note: You will hear Ian or Ron talk about The Sweet at one point- this video was blocked because of the Sweet content, so I had to edit it out.
