Samhain On November 21st, 1984, Samhain performed, for the very first time, at the Stardust Ballroom in Hollywood, California. With this release, you can take a trip back in time to witness that moment in history. Not sure how much you'll enjoy this experience because the sound is kinda rough in some places and the camera work...well...it looks like a professional job that was done by amateurs. I'd say the quality is a little above something you'd record yourself. Also, I get the impression that 20 some years hasn't been kind to the master copy of this performance as it looks as though it's about to crap out in some places. It's a fifteen song set featuring tunes such as "Die, Die My Darling," "The Howl," "Halloween II" and "He Who Can Not Be Named" to name a few. It's a crazy performance to say the least and, by watching it, it's clear that the security people earned their paychecks at this show. The crowd was going wild and they were workin' extra hard to keep 'em off the stage. Watching that was entertaining in itself. I wouldn't go so far as to say this is a must have release. But, if you're a fan, you might at least wanna check it out. Personally...I watched it once and that was good enough for me. I know I won't ever watch it again. |
