Fun fact
The Richard Pryor – Live On The Sunset Strip has nothing to do with Cirith Ungol band. It was only because on a briefly seen on the screenshot of Whiskey a Go Go and Cirith Ungol on it.
MettleAngel: Another thing that I will always remember is when I saw “Richard Pryor – Live On The Sunset Strip” on HBO. As he is getting out of his limousine, right there on the moniker at the Whisky is displayed Cirith Ungol playing live. I pointed that out to my wife when we recently watched it on DVD!
Robert: Yeah, that was a weird experience. I know that they blotted it out when it came out on VHS. There we were watching him pull up; not really knowing what was going on, as we were just playing another show at that club. Somehow the camera caught the Billboard, and now it is right there as the credits begin.
MettleAngel: If you are not looking for it, and you are caught up in the Richard Pryor introduction, you may miss it. I noticed it right away; and just laughed. I guess back then you were really tearing up the Sunset Strip.
Robert: We were always playing in LA. We played with some big names, who, at the time, were not that well known. Oh the stories I could tell you. I will say this, our album ‘King Of The Dead’ was released the same time as ‘Master Of Puppets’.
Were there any other bands playing that night? Do we have the complete setlists for all of the bands? Who were the band members at the time? Are there any photos, audio recordings, or video footage that can be seen or heard? Any additional fun facts or notable events from that period? Was there any conflict or coverage in the newspapers? What exactly was the Romeo gig, the Rampage gig — or were they the same event? What is the short background story of the local scene at the time? How are Romeo and Rampage connected, if at all? Did Romeo, Rampage, or both perform at this show? Was one of the bands performing at this show, while the other band played on a different date?
