From the Attic: Aardschokdag 1987

With February coming to a close, it would be a shame if I did not find an excuse to post what is one of my favourite posters. The date of the show was February 8th, 1987, 25 years ago and the poster featured a pretty amazing lineup, made extra special by the appearance of the mighty and great Celtic Frost (I believe the only time they opened for Metallica, but I could be wrong). It is a beautiful poster adorned by one of the best Pushead designs (the Damage Inc. artwork), and also features one of the best designed logos in metal (Celtic Frost). In addition, it also features a great lineup with Crimson Glory being the only weak act on the bill.  With Metallica, Metal Church, Celtic Frost, Anthrax and Laaz Rockit all together on one bill, I am still jealous of the very lucky dutch folk that went to this show in 1987.
