Death Angel - May 12, 1987
D.R.I. - April 26, 1987
 |
| Easy in my top 5 acts of all time - Texas's Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. Their first album was notoriously fast and almost unmusical but they went on to powerfully influence, if not create, crossover and metalcore. The "skank man" icon was among my most frequent doodles in the margins and notebooks of everything I possessed. Not sure who backed them on this leg through S.F. |
The Swans - April 12, 1986
 |
| The mice got to this one as well it appears. I know the Swans are big deal in experimental rock circles, but they are another that isn't my thing at all. First appearance of Mabuhay Gardens - we'll see that place again a lot. I was there only once where I saw Possessed at maybe their last show before a long breakup in the summer of 1987. |
Camper Van Beethoven - January 30, 1987
 |
| The first from the SF Bay Area. CVB was not my thing at all, but I do wonder if the skinheads enjoyed the bowling? |
