40 Years Ago: MISFITS live On Broadway, San Francisco (Evilive)

MISFITS played live at On Broadway, San Francisco on this day in 1981. It was the first of three late-November west coast gigs.

Two of the songs - "All Hell Breaks Loose" and "We are 138" - were included on the original Evilive 7" (December 1982) and 12" (1983) EPs. Three more - "Devil's Whorehouse", "Horror Hotel" and "Ghouls Night Out" - were added to the 1987 Evilive LP.

The cover photo was taken a few months later, on 13 April 1982, in Los Angeles. Earl Liberty (SACCHARINE TRUST) and Henry Rollins (BLACK FLAG) can be seen in the crowd. "Heckuva Guy" Rollins can also be heard on "We are 138".
