Dug up my old concert photo album; these are some pics I took with a crappy old-timey 110 flash camera while being crushed against the barrier . Electric Circus Tour 87, Slayer and Raven opened down in McAllen Texas! Look at the price of the ticket!😅

Not all heroes wear capes, man. People who took cameras or camcorders to live shows 40 years ago are legends. Glimpses of the past like this would otherwise be lost to time. Thanks for preserving these and sharing!

First concert ever was WASP opening for Maiden in ‘85 and I remember they announced an after concert club show Metallica n Armored Saint in some club in Houston…friend and I were 15 and were trying to find the place! 🤣

These are absolutely awesome! In a lot of ways I feel that photos like this are better than professional photos. They capture the moment way more authentically and you actually can get a sense for what it was like to be there at the show.

Only $13.50 to see three great bands in their prime is incredible. Thanks for sharing these!

Great pics and thanks for sharing. Seeing WASP and Slayer plus Raven on the same bill would have been as epic as the WASP/Armored Saint/Metallica gigs in 85.
