             in Hollywood, CA on 11/21/84, the date commonly given for this
             recording.  See 12/02/84 time line entry for more information.

             also a complete, uncut version of sonsg 2-6.  This video is 
             also known as the "L.A. Access" show due to the graphics on the

    Halloween II | Let The Day Begin | In My Grip | Horror Biz | Archangel

  Format:    Video.
  Time:      35 minutes.
  Notes:     This recording is commonly referred to as a Rock Hotel show, 
             because Rock Hotel was the promoter.  The Rock Hotel, by this
             time, had moved from its original location to the Ritz.  At the 
             end of the show the band began to play "Archangel" but was
             interrupted by the stereo.  There is a complete video source, 
             and a second source of 7 minutes of 8mm footage shot from near 
             the right side of the stage at a totally different angle.
             The speed of the 8mm source is fast, probably due to a mistake 
             in the transfer.  The Samhain footage is broken up into two 
             parts, separated by the appearance of several fans and shots of 
             Celtic Frost, who also performed that night.
