Pentagram - High Voltage: Live at Spotsylvania '78 (Vinyl LP)

Pentagram's 1978 Live Album High Voltage: Live at Spotsylvania '78 on LP.

Live at Spotsylvania captures Pentagram performing an all-night backyard concert in Spotsylvania, Virginia, at bassist Martin Sweeney’s mother’s house, in front of roughly 500 fans camping out for the weekend. Recorded around 1978 during the band’s short “High Voltage” era, the show began at 1 a.m. on a foggy night and featured rare songs with a raw, powerful performance. The audio blends a low-level board mix with ambient mic recording for surprisingly strong sound quality. "A memorable moment came when a firecracker went off perfectly on the beat during the heavy second half of “20 Buck Spin,” echoing through the trees." – Bobby Liebling

Recorded in 1978 in Spotsylvania at Martin Sweeney’s backyard. The audio is a great recording for being outdoors and cleaned up by mastering guru Nick Townsend.

This is an extremely rare recording when the band was a 5 piece with 2 guitar players.
