Armored Saint - "Live at Dynamo Open Air" (May 15, 1989)

Τον Μάιο του 1989 οι Armored Saint εμφανίσθηκαν για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρώπη μετέχοντας στο Ολλανδικό φεστιβάλ Dynamo Open Air. Η εμφάνιση ξεπέρασε την μία ώρα παρουσιάζοντας δεκατρία τραγούδια (βλ. tracklist παρακάτω) από τους (θρυλικούς) τρεις πρώτους δίσκους της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας. Το κάτωθι βίντεο απεικονίζει ακριβώς τι συνέβη πριν από 29 χρόνια...

Joey Vera: «One of the things that bothered us most about the early part of our career is that our record company (Chrysalis) and our management kept us from touring in Europe, This made absolutely no sense to us as we were influenced mainly by European bands.

Well, in mid 1989 we got a chance to play Europe for the very first time in Holland at the Dynamo Club and the Dynamo Open Air Festival. It was a dream come true for all of us but especially for David Prichard, who had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. Check out this early version of Reign of Fire which we had just written which includes an alternate arrangement.»
