Live at the Last Call Bar & Grill
La Mirada, CA
October 30, 1999
If you can't find a good Halloween party, throw your own! That's exactly what Raven Mad did when the Last Call invited them to play on Saturday, October 30, the night before Halloween. Raven Mad completely took over the Last Call, filling the room with costumed friends, smoke, balloons, bubbles, and very very loud music.
Clad in costume, The Wicked Witch of the East, Jason of Friday the 13th, and an unmasked William Cooper (aka Mel, Joe, and William) posed outside the Last Call by an advertisement for the show.
The entire stage was decked out for Halloween, especially Joe's drum set, which was covered with cob webs, with rubber demons and rats strapped on it.
And of course, there were costumes. Here, William and Mel show off their frightening attire. The audience was filled with festive, costumed Mad ones. Nothing can be more fun than a Masquerade!
Glowing electric Jack-o-Lanterns adorned each side of the stage. Here, Jack looks on atop Melz brand new SWR bass amp while Jason of Friday the 13th -- that is, Joe -- pounds terror into the drum skins.
Raven Mad's set included a brand new song, "Beneath the Midnight Moon" sans lyrics, and a great big sing-along to Metallica's classic "Seek and Destroy".
