BAD BRAINS - July 13th, 1987 @ The Ritz, New York City, NY [AUDIENCE]

 Here's a live tape from BAD BRAINS that I haven't seen yet, live at The Ritz in New York City on July 13th, 1987.  It stars off with a shoutout to Circle Jerks and Living Colour, so I assume they were on the bill, which would have made this awesome show just that much more incredible.  Certainly envious of all those in attendance, though thankfully someone had the mind to record at least the BB set.  It's an ok sounding audience tape, I didn't do any EQ'ing, it's just a straight rip.  Perhaps someday I'll give it another go and spend some time EQ'ing it to see if I can improve the sound.  As it is though, it's Bad Brains, I'll take any and all Bad Brains, especially sets I haven't heard before.   Hope ya dig it!   - DH

VERBAL ABUSE - December 1984 @ The Ritz, New York City, NY [SOUNDBOARD]

 Kicking this month off with a rare soundboard recording of classic VERBAL ABUSE, live in New York City in December of 1984.  The tape just said The Ritz 12/84, so I am guessing it was the New York City venue, as they were having bigger punk shows at the time, and VA was out there on tour in December of 1984.  Not all the dates are known, there's big gaps with nothing over on the VA page on Metallipromo.com, but they totally did a few shows in NYC, that much can be seen.  Wouldn't be un  reasonable to assume they also got on a bigger show happening around then.  If anyone knows for sure, comment below!  Or I'll edit in any info if someone fells me in  elsewhere.

So yeah, classic Verbal Abuse with Nicki on vocals.  I haven't encountered any early VA yet, so it's a treat.  Hopefully ya dig it.    - DH

MDC - July 14th, 1986 @ The Ritz, New York City, NY [AUDIENCE]

 MDC!  Here's a cool set of them opening for Celtic Frost and Samhain, along with Nuclear Assault and others.  If anyone has the other sets, present them!  It's pretty funny that MDC opens up this very metal show with an acoustic song, someone vocalizes their displeasure with this right into the tape recorder, haha.  Then the band gets loud and everything's business as usual.  Do you like MDC?  Well hopefully you dig this then...    - DH
