The 1985 picture posted above was the Exciter show put on by JD 2 Productions. Ripper, the opener got into a fight with he crowd when power failure interrupted the show. Power was fixed and the show went off.

Motorhead was ‘84 I guess. We tried to get fast food from a drivethrough after the show. Ha! My brother and his friend promoted a later show with Exciter. We helped load in the amps, which most were empty cabinets for show. Got to see the concert from backstage.

The band that cracked the ceiling was Motorhead. I was at that show 1985 or 1986 I believe. Merciful Fate also played. Plaster was falling from the ceiling and the maintenance man tried to stop Motorhead from playing any more encores. He finally had to literally pull the switch on the breaker box, which really angered Lemmy from Motorhead.
