Mother Of Mercy | The Shift | Die Die My Darling |To Walk The Night
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.
