Happy Easter - Megadeth live in Denver 1986

Remember when Megadeth was absolutely face ripping?  I know it's been a long time and a lot of shitty albums later but it's true.  They used to rip faces right off.  This is a good example of that former power.  Even though it was recorded before Peace Sells came out this features a bunch of those now classic tunes.

There seems to be some debate about the date and venue for this recording.  I've seen it listed both as January 29th 1986 and August 5th 1986.  The case for the January date hinges on the fact that Dave mentions the space shuttle challenger disaster, which happened on January 28th 1986, but I guess it's possible that he still could have been talking about that into August of 1986.

The August date makes sense because Megadeth was opening up for King Diamond on the Fatal Portrait tour and that hit Denver in August 1986.  Seems like kind of a long set for an opening act though.

The confusion continues with the venue.  I've seen it listed as McNichols Arena, Rainbow Music Hall, even Irving Plaza?.  I'm thinking that this is from the Rainbow Music Hall just based on the fact that there have been a lot of really nice recordings to surfaced from that place. Plus for the time that is where Megadeth would have played.  Would have been too late to have been at Norman's

I do know for a fact that it was recorded in Denver because Dave mention's Denver multiple times.

If anyone was at this show and can clear up the confusion I would love to hear from you.

This recording made it around in the tape trading circles and got pressed to vinyl way back in the day as well. I got my copy though CDr trading.  No idea on the real originator of this but hats off to who ever taped it.
