I remember "Wild Child" as the last "new" song classic radio would play before giving way to " Smells Like Teen Spirit" & the like. They peaked at a culturally significant time.
I remember the three speeds for recording on a VHS camcorder, SP(best quality), LP and SLP(rather shitty quality). I'm surprised WASP could fit their stage into the ancient original Massey Hall. The band played live, completely distorted and most likely numbingly loud. Kudos to them. I wonder how many fans in the audience that night shopped at the record stores on Yonge St. before the show?
I was at this show mainly to see Slayer, when Wasp came on the audience got kind of quiet, two different types of metal. Slayer were great but they seemed even heavier in 84 at Larry's Hideaway nightclub on their Haunting The Chapel tour. Well those days are long gone, no more music anymore just memories.
SONGS MISSING: (Intro) Electric Circus and Need No Dr. (another cover tune....)....also, watching Blackie who I LOVE..LOVE....this is not a dig....ya borrow from the best ..from the ripped tour shirt to boot, gloves ....and dance moves...he really learned so much from THE BEST....my hero Paul Stanley
1984/85 WASP could have gotten away with playing over Slayer, but not 1987 WASP. That's with the benefit of decades of hindsight, of course. Come to think of it, I would have told you the same thing in 1987.
Ok! Come to my place about, hmmm, 10 p.m, we will get beers and hop in my Delorean, hit 88 mph, and go back to 1987. But, look up Slayer 1987, this tour... they kill!!

07:54 Thank You Johnny for destroying the illusion and reminding us that you are only human. HAHAAHAAA!!!!
johnny is definitely the coolest though!
Haha that was funny
I remember seeing this when I was at the show. Pretty much my only memory from this set
😂 He broke some of the drum riser!
Thanks for the video! This is really precious and rare footage from the Electric Circus period!
Prime WASP had Blackie on bass. There, I said it.
Thanks so much for the upload!
Electric Circus so freaking underrated!!!!
My favorite album from these metal legends
Blackie himself said it was complete garbage.
@@TheLordGoat well Blackie was wrong! 🤘

Its amazing how good they were and stayed together as long as they did considering Chris Holmes and Johnny Rod's drug problems and Blackie's ego.

I saw them 2 days before at The Orpheum in Boston. It was a great concert. Raven opened.
Thanks for the show 🤟

But at least Blackie learned gow to keep writing good songs. Slayer ripped their backs out so hard.
Dave Lombardo wasnt on this run for the Reign in Blood tour tho
slayer suck.
@@parkdalemassivewho cares Slayer sucks
Slayer sucks dude big time
whyyy did Blackie try to copy Paul Stanleys stage moves and raps lolm
So Blacky decided to play guitar instead of bass this night ?
Randy piper already left at this point and he went back to guitar
SLAYER destroyed them!
+Doom666 prove it

Early W.A S.P is badass! But in all aspects, and reality. Slayer destroys them. Doesn't matter which year
They do, but I'm just on Slayers side! They had the pits rolling and stomping!
as much as i liked w.a.s.p. they are not as good as slayer.
