I saw this show in Dallas when they opened for Iron Maiden in 1984. 100% the best rock show I ever saw. I still have an old driver's license from the 80's wearing this wasp concert shirt, back when I used to have long hair...those were the days.
1986 they were opening for KISS. Saw them in March 1986 at the Cow Palace. In the summer of 1984 they were supporting Iron Maiden. Saw that show on Forth of July 1984 in Sacramento. It was a day show and hot as fuck
Hi, you are lucky. In 1984, I saw Maiden during the Slavery Tour in Belgium, and it was these suckers of Motley Crue for the opening, it was impossible to recognise the songs and the riffs, they were all fucked up. I'd prefer to see Wasp. And Maiden was magic, of course
Two brilliant guitar players?!? LOF'NL. On their best day, is this line up included 2 decent guitarists, and those days didn't come around often, lol. Calm down, bro. Nostalgia is having it's way with you, and it isn't exactly pretty. I feel like 2 brilliant guitarists would have written a few brilliant songs. What happened there, lol?
@michaelmaclane8877 I like Holmes as an artist. He was a real beast to me. Probably they are not big virtuous players, but I like the way they played together on the stage
To each their Own. Wasp had lots of great songs. Just cause It’s not your cup Of tea don’t be a dick. Stevie ray Vaughan was shit to Me but I don’t post on his videos how Much he sucked.
@@michaelmaclane8877 If you listen to wasp expecting some sick guitar solo you are in the wrong place. Wasp are really unique for their aggressive kickass and ballsy attitude and sound. You listen to this because its what you feel like not because you want to listen to sophisticated music. And for what wasp is they are really the greatest in my opinion. Sick image and sounds to make you feel like a badass
A Time that unfortunately will never return. Cause everything got its time. It is 41 years later and I remember those years as the best time in my life.
true. music nowadays is really mechanical like some ai is playing. for those of us who express themselves through music and dont just listen for the sake of listening we know that music nowadays is really lackluster in this component
Back in the day when going to a show was to enjoy! Where everyone would take out their imaginary guitar from their pocket and enjoy a 1 hour concert (sometimes it wasn't even that long) but they really enjoyed it! We spent weeks talking about what we had seen to those who hadn't been there! We idolized the band and were VERY happy like that. Nowadays these young people go to a 2 to 3 hour concert and spend the time with their phone in their hand filming something that they probably won't ever see again! I honestly miss my youth .But it is the evolution of the times as they say.
Yes, been looking for this, saw this show in Sweden in october 1984, ( my first metal concert, 15 y old) saw them again in april 2023, still listens to them every week! Great sound in this video, better then I remember.
00:35 - On Your Knees 04:45 - The Flame 08:50 - Hellion 13:21 - L.O.V.E. Machine 17:26 - Sleeping (In the Fire) 23:10 - Tormentor 32:40 - School Daze 41:50 - The Torture Never Stops 47:15 - I Wanna Be Somebody 53:20 - Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)
Oh wow this remaster is just amazing, I have this on an old VHS tape which is really low resolution, but a fantastic concert none the less which I would of been just a toddler at the time and now can watch them and feel like I was there by watching it in my theatre room full blast. 🤘♥️🎸
Saw them 4.5 months after this, Feb 15th, 1985, at a bar in ST.LOUIS metro area. A little band named METALLICA, on their RIDE THE LIGHTNING tour, opened for them with Armored Saint... Best day of my life....
'80s metal man, can't top this. I saw W.A.S.P in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the '80s as they supported Iron Maiden on one of their tours. It was a blast I can tell you. 🙂👍
@@lawrwncemitchell9955 it looks that way. Even when on the Eddie trunk interview he said he was leaning towards doing it. I wasn't convinced but now I am. Personally I don't mind either way W.A.S.P. have so many great songs.
Blackie said on an interview that in the 80's they got away with murder. Different story now. He also said that he is NOT a satanist - - - - - - - - -anymore. ha
this is one outstanding show! Amazing sound, and great video considering the time it was created. Blackie rules! 80's metal was the best! Thanks for posting. Rock on!
I don't care what you say , very few voices can hold a candle to Blackie , I am a singer and people ask me , "if you could sing like anyone else who would it be" I always reply either Dio or Blackie , some people know Dio , but most people don't know Blackie , and I find that to be a beautiful thing and a sad thing at the same time
Blackie Lawless is one of the most underrated Metal vocalists of all time. In fact, the band itself has been undervalued for decades. But Blackie sure doesn't give a f#$k about that. Those who know him (like us) know how to value him and that is what counts for him.
I saw them at The Salty Dog in Buffalo. Not sure of the exact year, but they were touring with Metallica on the ride the lightning tour. There was a huge blizzard, and we were stranded in Buffalo for a couple days before we were able to drive back to Syracuse. Badass. Armored Saint played too.
And the next day they were playing in Scranton, PA, and my friends and I had tickets. They never made it there because of that blizzard! That would have been an amazing show to see. Still bummed about it.
Вот это шоу, что творят, оторвы! Блэки - дик и прекрасен! И нет другой группы, подобнной W.A.S.P. ! Их зашкаливающая энергетика просто рвет зал! Благодарю за качественную запись и выкладку концерта!
Yo los vi en Barcelona en Abril y disfruté muchísimo! Además por suerte salían con el culo tapado🤣😅. Espero que también los disfrutaras, estos tíos son una jodida leyenda!! 🤘😎🤘
I was given this VHS tape, free of charge, a week before it was released by the owner of my local record store, (remember record stores?), because he knew I would lose my 15 year old mind when I saw it. It took me the rest of the year to save the money to buy a VCR,$410 back then. The rest is history, lost my mind, still losing my mind and still watch my old VHS tape regularly because I still have the same VCR. Tie between this and Live After Death. Also, same TV from back then.
After watching this, you know why W.A.S.P. became so popular. Of course the first record was and is perfect, but these live performances cemented foundation for decades to last. This is the line up that comes to my mind, when someone says W.A.S.P. Yes, I bought the firs album as LP when it was released 🙂
Remember when we would go to concerts and actually have the best times WATCHING and LISTENING to what we paid to go see and never spent any time trying to video a concert on a phone? What we saw was burned into our memories for weeks and months and years! That was our video! Standing at the front of the stage catching guitar picks or whatever they threw to us! Blackie Lawless had one of the best voices for a rocker ever!!
Miercoles dias de gloria, realmente los que asistieron a estos conciertos estuvieron en el cielo o en el infierno de acuerdo a lo que ellos escogieron, y eso que todavia no existian la cancion The Manimal y Harder Faster. WASP siempre fue mi grupo favorito.
I remember buying their debut and being floored by how hard it rocked from beginning to end, a classic. I didn't enjoy what followed near as much, though Wild Child and Blind in Texas were fun tracks.

The best version of Sleeping In The Fire is here!

Yup
It's damn good! Great solos!
Too all of us that grew up in the 80's, we were the best heavy metal crowds
You ain't lying!!! I'm a girl and only 5 ft tall and I LOVED getting into the PIT in almost every show I have ever been to!!!🖤🤘
Jesus saves sinners. God bless you fellow rocker
Why don't I remember this concert ? Maybe because I was drunk .😂😅🤪😜😝😘🤣🤣🤣
More likely is that you weren't yet born or living in the UK?
One of the greatest Metal Concerts i have seen on Video! This killer show want to have on Blue-Ray DVD 🤘🤘
Gotta see doze flabby ass cracks in hd
39 years later and I'm still spinning this album once a week🤟
Then you will understand how upset l am to discover they touring worldwide, but have been for some time.... l missed my country by some months 😔
@@KevinSmith-oi7jk you think thats bad......i missed seeing them last weekend !!! All because of freakin work
This is just so....fucking....
GOOD!
The recording sounds great considering it was live in the 80s, dam!

One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Great songs, great sound, pure energy. So captivating.
Thankyou ..sounds awesome
No one in the crowd has a cell phone! Those were the good old days!!!
I So AGREE!!!!! Like You said, Those were the good old days. UNFORTUNATELY....THERE GONE. It Is SAD
Don't you get _irony_ ?
What the fuck are you talking about man I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me when the good old days are going to start
And if they didn't happen to professionally record this, nobody would have any idea what it was like. Cell phones at concerts are a good thing.

GREAT Band !!!
This was my first concert ever they opened up for a kiss animalized tour in Pittsburgh. I was nine years old. Best experience of my life.
I was actually at that concert - near the front on Randy Pipers side of the stage
Sweet
🔥❤️The perfect metal band ⚡️💥it is my music world aaah yeahhh ,,I listering day and day 🔥❤️🐝🌍🎼💥🌈😇
Hands down one of the most insane metal concerts ever filmed. This is the version of WASP I like best.

One of the biggest Hard and Heavy Metal Concerts .
I graduated high school that year it was a good one
My first WASP gig ....support from Wrathchild and Thor .....fond memories
my first concert !!! best time of my whole life lol
Im impressed,great band indeed 😊 I always liked blackie lawless very intelligent.
'80s metal man, can't top this. I saw W.A.S.P in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the '80s as they supported Iron Maiden on one of their tours. It was a blast I can tell you. 🙂👍
wow, hearing school daze just gave me a memory flashback to the 80s listening to the first album
Blackie stood out so much more playing bass. 🕸
Killer show thanks for sharing this . Animal wasn't cut out which is interesting. 🤘🤘🤘
He is going to sing it again on this tour for the fans 💯

this is one outstanding show! Amazing sound, and great video considering the time it was created. Blackie rules! 80's metal was the best!
Thanks for posting. Rock on!
I saw them in Lisbon, when they opened for Maiden in 1986. It was a Great show.
I love how they play and the simplicity of their guitars keep it simple one pickup make big noises/music 🎵🎵 the way it should be. Great band
Looking forward to WASP concert show coming soon to Houston,Tx. Nov.2024 🤘😊
I Had This On VHS
Loved the first album... Forever free and heaven's hing in black is timeless
This is REAL Heavy Metal.
The pinnacle of big club shows in 1984 and one of the best shows ever recorded!!!

Totally agree. I feel the same. Dio for me followed by blackie.
54:22, clear vocal playback. 53:47 Who´s playing that bass fill? Because it´s not Blackie...

Audience is louder than the band. Great Band.
I really start to believe that the audience is a recording from somewhere else and ad to this live !
Looks like Blackie could be lip syncing too.
@@ravenmad9225he’s definitely not lip syncing no clue what your seeing
@@user-pj9vp4fg2ithe bass definitely isn't live. Watch his fingers when he's playing animal.
Sometimes, he does not sing on the stage, but we can hear his voice.
Camaros, jean jackets, Camel cigarettes, and girls with big bushes.

Great upload!!! \m/
Excellent..bonne époque..
I saw them many times at the "Chance Theater" in Poughkeepsie NY .. Great times !!

Solid stuff!!!!👍
Oooh yeah 🤩
I saw this show in OKC opening for Iron Maiden. Epic
Вот эта атмосфера искренности концертов 80-х и отличает их от гламура и лоска сегодняшних шоу.
Great band luv you wasp
I guess the soundtrack is completely overdubbed. For instance at 48:05 there's absolutely no difference whether Blackie is singing to the mic or not.
I remember buying their debut and being floored by how hard it rocked from beginning to end, a classic. I didn't enjoy what followed near as much, though Wild Child and Blind in Texas were fun tracks.
Saw them in 85 when they opened up for Kiss
PROPER , BACK IN THE DAY ,,
That duo guitars was sic!!
Que recuerdos!!!!
Been watching since "Winged Assions" the self titled album.

How about a DVD release too
Get a DVD burner and put it on there. Chances are you'll never see this reissued on DVD
I don’t get why people are asking for DVD‘s. It’s right here for you to watch. Why the need for a plastic box?
@@pascTV Because physical media is important. The new book burning is the editing of old material.
