34 Years Ago: VOIVOD play their first ever gig

Voivod live 25 June 1983, all the Motorhead covers

Piggy, Away, Blacky and Snake!

Live on this day in 1983, Saguenay QC, Canada about 7 months after forming in November 1982.

VOIVOD played 4 original songs at their first gig: "Voivod", "Condemned to the Gallows", "Blower", "Voivod" (reprise!), "Anomalies".

The rest were covers and give a good idea of some of their early influences: VENOM (x5), TANK, SWEET SAVAGE (x2), MOTORHEAD (x4), RAVEN, JUDAS PRIEST (x2), A II Z, and BUDGIE.
