Misfits has become one of the most influencial punk acts and they were quite different to many other punks band around that time. Will most others were writing about injustice and political things Misfits were just campy fun. Misfits musicianship was as crude as the recording quality of most of their oeuvre but they wrote tracks that were catchy with anthemic melodies and lyrical obsession with grade-B horror films and splatter imagery. The Misfits were formed in Lodi, New Jersey, in 1977 and the band would release singles and perform live through several years before releasing their debut album Walk Among Us in March of 1982. Walk Among Us would be the only album to be properly released while the early incarnation of the band was still active. A national tour in support of the album kicked off on the 28th of February 1982, before the album was released, at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C, this was a classic venue that Misfits had performed several times and this night they taped the shows for this album. This night Misfits performed two sets. One before the band Necros and a second set after the Necros gig had ended (both sets are included on this album). By this time the bands performances had began to grow more intense and violent. Danzig and Googy clashed frequently during the tour, and after a heated argument at a McDonald’s restaurant Danzig kicked Googy out of the band. By this time Glenn had some plans for another project. A few months earlier he had met Al Pike Reagan Youth and started talking about forming a band. On the night of this show at Washington Al and Glenn had met again and Danzig had played Al a demo version of Archangel. This project the two were disgussing would eventually become Samhain.
