I started listening to BOC around 74/75 (Secret Treaties) and first heard 'Zilla at
a show at Lebanon Valley Speedway (on a Black & Blue tour) in the summer
of '76 or '77, and before Spectres even cameout if I remember correctly. The
thunder rumbling off the mountains and the laser beaming out for miles blew
me away. Loved it. Still do.
