and even 80's Dead shows (thank God for mp3's) are among the best live music I've ever heard. Even from '87 I've heard a great "Throwin' Stones/Not Fade Away" recorded at Shoreline (lifelong Bay resident here).

I always liked Martin's band Sabbat OriginalGeek Dec 2013 #43

Skyclad, I believe, were less thrashy and more melodic than Sabbat. nomorenomore08 Dec 2013 #44

That's probably pretty close to right OriginalGeek Dec 2013 #46

During their peak time with him, they were awesome, the best socio-political commentary I know of arcane1 Dec 2013 #48
