This is when I had hair... crazy to see the flowing locks.

I have the Decade of Disrespect video and recognize this show! Is this the one where you did your Sebastian Bach impression and jumped off stage and threatened to beat the shit out of the guy with the Jets shirt?

And yes...the hair was still there Stevie but Jorge has freakishly luxurious hair and maybe even out hair flips Joel Hoekstra throughout the show!

"""""""""""""""where you did your Sebastian Bach impression and jumped off stage""""""""""""""""

Bach impression, no?

I didn't hurt any innocent bystanders, and wasn't reckless and unhinged.

I simply called the guy out right there in front of the whole place then as he stood there looking like "Who me?", I jumped off the stage and was right in his face.

I would have loved to have seen his face when I stopped and pointed at him, and suddenly I was 1 foot in front him.

Do they have a separate mic for the sound and synced it up with the video? That sounds way too good for a standard bootleg.

Yeah?

Ask the guy who uploaded it... have no idea where it came from.

That's straight from the video camera, unless there was a full crew and mobile studio at our show and I was unaware. :roll:

This video comes up a lot in my YouTube feed. I’ve watched it several times. You had some major steam coming out of your head at the ice throwing idiot in that crowd. Hard to believe but 40 years later this is still an issue. Cell phones and beers are now being hurled at some pretty big name acts. There are a few morons in every crowd. That will never change.

Damn this show is awesome!

Band sounds great. Great drum sound too and I love all of the stick tricks!

Hey Stevie, do you have any original Tuff shirts for sale? Like ones from 1991-1994? Not a reprint but original ones. I will buy if you have large or XL.

That was good. A solid 6 or 7. Your band's backing vox are probably the weak spot. It's not as good as Omaha 1991. You guys were on FIRE in Omaha 1991. But you're still really good here. Your new bassist was good. Him and Jorge just weren't as good vocally as Todd was. Though it was funny when you gave Todd sh*t for quitting. You weren't wrong.

I wasn't the biggest fan of your first album. I liked your three songs, RPB and ANG. But I would have dug you guys had I seen you opening in arenas or in a theater or in a club with some of the other, later bands like Vain or Steelheart...bands like that.

Yes... Chase was before and is now, the second voice in the band,...

Even though Chase doesn't have the best singing voice, he's loud and powerful... Jorge couldn't sing for shit, nor could Michael.

Thanks for the compliments...

Thanks for the props. yes Michael had a cool style... and is a good guy too!

Yeah... if you watch the video, before I actually stop the show and address this guy... he threw ice at me (us) several times.

No he didn't hit anyone in the face, but can you imagine being on stage, with the lights in your face and then having an ice cube hit your eye?

With bands I saw live around that time in similar sized venues


I’d say 6

Not quite Jackyl but way better than Wildside.

I'd give it a 7. It's cool to see some good footage of the band, but I'm actively hating Jorge's tone here. It's like jamming an ice pick in my ear.

I'd like to be able to hear the bass during guitar solos, but either the mix is a little off or Jorge is eating the frequency band with that tone.
