Well let me tell you the story of the way that show saw the CD-R form :) I got a tape from a person who was in trades from 1982 through 1990 and he got that show in September 1985, thus being what 2 months after the actual gig!! So it means it's very low gen copy (if not copy from master). So the guy was so extremely nice and sent me this very tape and not a copy from it. So I got this transferred to .wav > and then burnt onto CDR. Ron you rule!! ok now about the show itself. As of now I have never seen any info on it - be it date or whatsoever, thus it has never been in the circulation among the Megadeth boot traders I know. So do you think I should rate the show as RARE? I think I have all rights to :) The quality for an almost-19-years-old audience recording is fabulous. Not perfect if we compare it to nowadays' DAT stuff but still I rate it as A- and I'm not exaggerating. The only thing is that Black Friday has some sound level dropouts. Dave is very talkative. I mean it VERY talkative. The band plays very tight and it's performs for example very unusual rock'n'rollish intro to 'These Boots' with Dave's comments like: "We are going to do a song for you now that is almost as old as I am! Haha I tell ya if My mommy was here right now she'd definitely like it!" Before Mechanix: “This song is for you Metallica-loving idiots”. “The next song … will be on our new album called “Houston kicks fucking ass”…Shit you are about that loud as my mom was when I was a kid…” Right after the band “left” for encore the band came back and jammed over some unknown song! Before starting ‘Blackest Fridays” (as Dave called it, and that went with very unusual intro as well!!!) Dave talk about having a car crash the day before in “fucking Pennsylvania” and goes on like: “..no wonder they call pencils out of that stinking state…” Right before “Rattlehead” – “This is the last fucking song we’re gonna do cause I wanna get la-a-a-a-id and I wanna go outsi-i-i-ide, hahahahah”.
