@yeddojr That's either Jim Drabos or Ron Rinehart. I think it might be Jim, the singer who came into the band after Don Doty left the band. I think Don Doty was the best out of all the singers that have been in Dark Angel, but this guy here is good!
@DeanVX05 Yep. This is Drabos in the video. Too bad he didn't stick (Doty left late '86-early '87). I would have loved to have heard him on wax w/ DA. With him, he it was a totally different vibe than Doty (more intense). I hear he's a police officer in SoCal now. Met him after the Chicago show in Jan, 1987. All the D.A. guys were really good guys. As one who was there, Possessed wann't bad (this is the tour the did together- "Darkness" & "Gates" respectively) couldn't hang live with D.A.
@phirefish Nice. As I said before, nice guy. Ask him if he's ever been colder that night they played Chicago in 1987 (it was about -10 degrees). I BET if he remembers 1 things about that show, that will be it. It was interesting seeing all the Long Beach guys in weather that cold. I think Gene said he was never that cold before. I think they played Milwaukee the night before or after. I might have the bootleg of that show somewhere.
thanks for the info!!! cheers!
