Featured acts:

  • Cirith Ungol,
  • Omen (correct or other gigs?)
  • Stryper – The Yellow and Black Attack Tour (in interview, correct or other gigs?)
  • Armored Saint for The Legacy on Swing Of The Blade bookย (correct or other gigs?)

This gig was was released as a bonus DVD on the re-release of Servants of Chaos. Last Laugh was not included on the DVD, but the audio had already been made available both as a bonus track for the 1999 remastered version of King of the Dead, and then later on the Servants of Chaos compilation album. And the boxset โ€˜The Legacyโ€™.

 

I saw a video of you guys from theย King of the Deadย era where they carried you out in a coffin. Was that something you did all the time, or just at one particular show? I think it was opening for Stryper maybe?
That was just a one-off thing. [Laughs] Those guys wanted me to do that for the Frost and Fire fest just a couple weeks ago, but I was like, โ€œNo, weโ€™re not gonna do that.โ€ [Laughs] It was just something we did for that show, though. (Possibly Rob talked about this scene)

We played with Stryper โ€” we opened up for them and we headlined some shows at the Country Club, and so for a lot of those shows because they were in L.A., a lot more people would come. I think Ventura is just not a hotbed of the hard rock music scene. (Ventura County Star)

 

This amateur video was never meant to be released. The audio was taken off the mixing console. As we were an opening act, we had little or no sound check, room on stage, and restricted access to the lighting and sound. Even though, this rare and primitive video is one of the few ever taken of the band!

Question: Is the Last Laugh (Arlington in Santa Barbara, California, 04-05-85) or Last Laugh (The Country Club in Reseda, California, 11-09-84) on Servants of Chaos (CD2/tr12 and exclude DVD) ? The Legacy (2017) box set has Live at the Country Club 1984 tape and bootleg CD, but it’s arguably missing “Last Laugh”.

On Servants of Chaos, four songs (Atom, Master, King and Last) playing live on 04-05-85, and one of the song (Cirith) playing live on 11-09-84? Or three songs (Atom, Master and King) playing live on 04-05-85 and two of the songs (Last, Cirith) playing live on 11-09-84? Or four songs (Atom, Master, King and Cirith) playing live on 04-05-85, and one of the song (Last) playing live on 11-09-84? CD2/tr09 is correct, CD2/tr10 and 11 is conflicting.

 

Were there other bands there? What is the setlist for all of the bands? What are the members then? Do you have photos, music or video that we can see or hear? Is Omen, Stryper or Armored Saint in this gig or another gigs? Any more fun facts at that time?
