GOAT SHANTY

ex-RASH OF BEATINGS, pre-AMERICAN CHEESEBURGER and HARSH WORDS.

EXODUS

artist: EXODUS (San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA)

venue: L'Amour East 

location: New York City, New York, USA

date: 02 April 1985

length: 

HERE

As with previous EXODUS live recordings, I've edited the between song banter and song introductions as separate tracks for your convenience. I highly recommend a listening session that includes only Bayloff.

ARTIMUS PYLE

artist: ARTIMUS PYLE (San Francisco, California, USA)

venue: Mission Records

location: San Francisco, California, USA

date: 16 December 2001

length: 13 minutes

HERE

I'm pretty sure this was our last show with Scottzy playing drums, and he was clearly on fire. Never mind the parts where John and I are trying to keep up with him, just listen to the last minute of "Buried Alive" into the beginning of "Civil Dead" and you'll understand why he was such a force behind the kit.

FACES OF DEATH

artist: FACES OF DEATH (Half Moon Bay, California, USA)
venue: Mission Records
location: San Francisco, California, USA
date: 29 December 2001
length: 8 minutes

HERE
This show was opening for R.A.M.B.O., and it's entirely possible that the band might have been based in a different peninsular suburb.

ESPERANZA

CRUCIAL ATTACK

artist: CRUCIAL ATTACK (Reno, Nevada, USA)
venue: Mission Records
location: San Francisco, California, USA
date: 06 January 2002
length: 19 minutes

HERE
As with many Mission Records recordings shared here, this file includes the product of a live mic for several minutes before the set. Perhaps only entertaining for the few readers who might have been around at the time, you can hear a young(er) Jensen, Joe, perhaps a Rob Coons, myself and numerous others in the background...or you can just delete that track because you are listening on a computer.

1) "Here's some shit you won't understand, so fuck you."

2) "It's time for the secret weapon...are you sure you're ready? OK: John Wayne. Fucking secret weapon motherfucker."

3) "You how hard it is to find a fucking bass player to play metal in San Francisco motherfucker? It's very difficult, bitch. We're gonna play one more for you. First track off of our second album....that nobody knows because you're fucking posers, bitch. Only metal band in San Francisco, and you don't know what it is, so you're a fucking poser." [audience member shouts song title] "I eat my words."

SLAYER

artist: SLAYER (Los Angeles, California, USA)

venue: Dynamo

location: Eindhoven, THE NETHERLANDS

date: late May/early June 1985

length: 84 minutes

HERE

Recorded on SLAYER's first European tour and widely circulated via video, this recording is top notch and screaming. There's a reason why this band is the bench mark...also, some of the between song banter must be heard to be believed (and I'm specifically talking about the introduction to "Necrophiliac" here).

INVISIBLE ASTRO HEALING RHYTHM QUARTET

artist: INVISIBLE ASTRO RHYTHM HEALING QUARTET (Bakersfield, California, USA)

venue: various

location: (various) California, USA

Improvisational avant/jazz ensemble from Central California, recordings culled from various performances.

RAKTA

length: 40 minutes

Live recording available on the fall 2014 USA/Europe tour, with alternate versions of two studio tracks released on the "Serpente/Sólido" 45 on 540 Records.

DANZIG

artist: DANZIG (New Jersey I think, but who really cares?)
venue: ??
location: ??
date: ??
length: 14 minutes

HERE
I think solo DANZIG totally sucks. Almost without exception. He plays "All Hell Breaks Loose" on this recording, and that's my favorite MISFITS song. But still...

VOETSEK

artist: VOETSEK (Bay Area, California USA)
venue: Mission Records
location: San Francisco, California, USA
date: 29 December 2001
length: 11 minutes

HERE
FACES OF DEATH and MORMONS ON BIKES also played this show, and their sets will appear here eventually. R.A.M.B.O. and GREEN ANGEL played too, but their sets were lost to a malfunctioning and screeching cassette along with the second half of the VOETSEK set. So enjoy your eleven minutes.

DIE KREUZEN

artist: DIE KREUZEN (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA)

venue: Cafe Voltaire 

location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

date: 04 January 1986

length: 56 minutes

For reference, this was recorded just before "October File" was released, and focuses on material from that record.

GRABASS CHARLESTONS // /BEFORE THE FALL

artist: BEFORE THE FALL (??, USA)

length: 28 minutes

artist: GRABASS CHARLESTONS (Gainesville, Florida, USA)

venue: ??

location: ??

date: ??

length: 11 minutes

HERE

Both sets included, though the GRABASS CHARLESTONS starts in the middle of their set, when they are already sweaty and playing covers. The live recordings are of similar quality, so it's possible that this was the same show, but it's also possible that someone saw fit to record over Gainesville's finest with the crooning of BEFORE THE FALL.

Exactly as the title suggests, this live set is from Harrah's Casino in Reno. I guess I can add playing a casino to my bucket list.

venue: Mission Records

location: San Francisco, California, USA

date: 25 August 2001

length: 46 minutes

Total time includes just over ten minutes of ridiculous dance jams the band used as an intro, these are cataloged as a separate "album" for the deleting convenience of the less adventurous among you.

NO TIME LEFT

artist: NO TIME LEFT (Buffalo, New York, USA)

venue: Mission Records

location: San Francisco, California, USA

date: 01 September 2001

length: 20 minutes

HERE

Every show - what's gonna make it memorable is when you sang along, or that time that you danced, or all the other shit that you did instead of just kinda chilling and just watching the scene. We're all part of this, we're not fucking entertainers. We're all here, together to share this moment, and that's what this is about. Let's fucking go.

UNKNOWN

location: UNKNOWN
date: UNKNOWN
length: 17 minutes

HERE
A mystery live set from a collection of UK punk tapes. There are breaks in the recording with a few chaps drunkenly taking the piss out of each other and everything else, but the tunes themselves are quality bare bones hook laden UK punk. Seven songs here, with an instrumental jam tacked onto the end that might be from a different band about to start their set (though crowd banter at 2:41 makes the inclusion of that track mandatory). Of course, assistance in identifying either would be appreciated.

UNDER THREAT

artist: UNDER THREAT (??, SP, BRASIL)

venue: ??

location: Cubatão, SP, BRASIL

date: 21 June 1996

length: 40 minutes

HERE

Several crushing studio tracks are included after the live set. Hearing this band presented "properly" makes the (admittedly raw) live recording even more powerful...

Mike (CAPITALIST CASUALTIES) on guitar, Frank (PLUTOCRACY, KALMEX) on bass, Elliot on drums and Daisuke on vocals. Sound improves dramatically after the first track.
