Couple of pretty good audience recordings from a fine band here,Riot.
Excellent early Metal out of NYC.
They were tipped for pretty big things early on
but it didn't seem to happen.
I'm sure those album covers didn't help.

That seal faced man thing was named "Tior" (read it backwards), the bands mascot. Interestingly he pre-dates Iron Maiden's "Eddie" which might make him the very first of the Metal mascots, though you could maybe make a case for Captain Beyond's odd cover star starting it all.
