This was a secret show advertised as "Vic And The Rattleheads." Club capacity was around 400. It was an 18 & over club. I was not yet 18 but determined to attend. I got one of those cheesy fake IDs. I was clueless how such fake looking fake IDs were generally not accepted under any circumstances.

I got there around noon. There were already a few people there. A few hours later the band showed up. They talked with the fans and signed stuff for about a half hour.

A few hours before doors opened, a club employee started reminding people in line about the club's policy. The guy in front of me claimed to have "lost" his ID and I showed my obvious fake. He said he would make sure we got in and would have to have the no drinking stamp. Later on, me and that guy who's name I dont recall, would take turns holding the recorder and hitting the mosh pit. I later sent him a copy.

Doors opened at 9:00 and Megadeth didnt come on until 11:30. It was the best Megadeth show I had ever seen and still one of the top 20-25 gigs I have ever seen. Even though its not the best quality, hopefully the recording will reflect the excitement I felt that evening.
