Hittman - Caught in the Crossfire (pro-shot, live 1987) video free download

Live at the West Hartford Agora Ballroom, in West Hartford, Connecticut, May(?) 1987.

Dirk Kennedy, Hittman's singer (who was 19 at the time) says:

"We were riding high on the demo tape being traded all over the world. Because we were all over the press, Kerrang. Metal Hammer, Metal Forces etc, we were approached by Connecticut's cable provider Continental Cablevision. They wanted to do a Friday night rock concert, because we were selling out the Agora ballroom regularly. We decided it was a good idea to have that since we had little live footage and were pretty smoking live. We had just let Don Fair go and my friend Greg from Anthrax stepped in. This lineup only lasted 1 year as Greg went on to pursue other things. That's when we found John Kristen and went in and made the debut album. If only I hadn't been sick at that show... II got a very bad cold and man I was terrible. My voice cracks during "Dead on Arrival" and while it got better as the show went on, you can tell I'm at 20%"

I say that I'd give my right arm to have a singer around nowadays that would put even a half-good performance of what Dirk calls his 20%, and I'd give my other arm too for a band that KILLS so much on stage oozing CLASS.

US METAL FOREVER!
