 SAMHAIN:
Live 1984 (Music
Video Distro) 1984. 48 minutes. Samhain was formed by Glen Danzig
after the Misfits disbanded ad this video captures one of their shows
played in
California
at the Stardust Ballroom. Most of the forty-eight minute set is devoted to
Samhaim originals, “The Shift,” “Unholy Passion,” “He Who Can
Not Be Named,” etc. However, some Misfits’ tunes are played, “Die,
Die, My Darling” and one of my all time Misfits’ tunes, “Horror
Biz.”
While the audio/video quality is better than
bootleg quality, the audio sometimes drops off and the video shows the
action from the side of the stage. Although I thought the band took too
much time between songs, the energy in the room appears to have been
pretty nutty while the music cranked. The show can be watched from start
to finish, or you can access particular songs via the menu. An audio only
version is also offer, which is odd because this is a DVD, but who cares,
it’s an extras. If you dig The Misfits,
Danzig
, or Glen Danzig (he’s the man!), you’ll enjoy this DVD. – Denis
