justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I used Goldwave to adjust a couple track marks. No work was done to the audio itself. No EQ, noise reduction, remastering, remixing, or volume adjustments were needed.

Thrash Metal from The Legendary Flotsam And Jetsam. After giving up one of their main song writers to Metallica (Jason Newsted) Flots recovered quick but never rose to the heights of Metallica. Then again Flotsam And Jetsam have stuck to their Metal Roots, like Testament, instead of chasing Chart Number Glory by Mellowing their style to the point of being unrecognizable. Flots still sound as great live today as they did back in the 80's with Eric A.K. still able to belt them out. Even hitting some impressive high notes on the older material, unlike some other singers of the era (Joey Belladona).

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #2

Flotsam & Jetsam formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981. The band gained a following and soon drew the attention of Metal Blade Records owner Brian Slagel who signed them to a recording contract. The band appeared on Metal Massacre VII and released their debut album Doomsday For The Deceiver on Metal Blade Records. The band toured and was gaining momentum when the death of Cliff Burton put the brakes on. Jason Newsted auditioned for and won the open bass spot in Metallica. The band quickly found a fill in and continued on. This gig is actually historic for the reason that after Flotsam & Jetsam's set was over Metallica took the stage for their first gig with Jason Newsted on bass.
