    Was there too. - it was December 91. Was up in front of the barrier cos they had no proper wheelchair area. Met David Vincent afterwards, he was nice enough. Also met Pete(f***ing squirt). I think it was just Unleashed who supported them?

    Death Metal IMO is not a stadium genre.

    How big was the Top hat, capacity wise? Bigger or smaller than what the SFX was?

    Yep, Dec '91 (Have ticket stub)...great gig...took a bus full from Sligo up to it. Met Unleashed(most of them) at the merch stand. Singer had some issue with passport so wasn't there.

    Before the creation of time.....class track.....

    I was just marginally too young for those gigs but have seen them all since, but looking back the carcass/Morbid angel/death/ kreator and all the top hat gigs were right smack in the middle of the golden era and could never be truly recreated after.

    next time metallica came here was black album tour and they were jaded (fact, over worked) even though the gigs were long and amazing set lists, it wasn't the same band from the top hat.

    Check out the youtube clip by Alan Averill (Primordial)
    Plenty of late 80' / early 90's gigs incl the Death one in the top hat.
