I never knew Jeff was such a good bassist playing this stuff with his fingers. I can only imagine how awesome they would have been if not for his injury.
Still remember those long, extremely early morning, bus rides to school cranking "MY BELIEF", "Tribulation", and all the sick songs I grew up with, still crank up in the stereo till this DAY. had to catch that bus at like 5:45 am cuz I lived up the backside of a mountain in Northern Pennsylvania, before moving to Philly to start my own music adventures lol... so i had plenty of time to bust out mix tapes, throw on my patched up jean jacket, find a back seat with the other hessiers, metalheads, and punks. Beat of pals.
Everyone can have an opinion about what genre this is. But they are legit classified as death metal. There's a legit documentary about Possessed called the creation of death metal. It had to of started some where. That's like saying Black Sabbath is hard rock but they are classified as the pioneers of heavy metal. Genres evolve. This was the beginning of a new genre and Death took it and fine tuned it.
Imagina se Chuck vocalista e guitarrista da banda death se ele fosse vivo fazendo uma dobradinha com o Jeff becerra ou com obituary ou morgoth queria muito ver e curtir isso + realmente não tem como mais 🤘🤟🎸🎶🥁🗣️🔥👹👿😈🇧🇷🎶🎵🔊👌👊😎
Yup been there done that twice almost like Deja Vu back to back shows of possessed ,same spot on the right, same smell ,Same drunx, set list, same ppl I went with, fuck same everthing , next day it was creepyer, same nightmares death metal came in the wind ,or was I just POSSESSED!! Best show's of the 80's 💀 death metal!!
Grodd the Bouncer is no joke! As rowdy as the fans are, he is the fucking truth. Anyway, it was cool to see them do Burning in Hell, the first song I ever heard from them off the Wild Bunch compilation tape.
@@snakepitguy TH-cam erased my comment because I linked the info to the March 11, 1987 info. My buddy Pat Vergara filmed both of the shows on March 11 & April 11. He gave me a copy of the dvd at my house in Long Beach many years ago. This show actually began with March To Die and Pentagram and then went into Beasts.
@@Keith_from_LBC i'll check my copy which comes from the guy who taped it audio. Now tell me how comes this supposed "3/11/87" show never had ANY flyer promoting it especially at Fenders...
@@snakepitguy I’ll have to check in my flyer box in the garage. I’m sure I have one. I’m aware that metallipromo doesn’t have one for that date. I have hundreds of flyers from the eighties. Dark Angel had the best artwork.
The first band of its kind in America after Slayer. Possessed, Sacrifice and Death were the first wave of Death Metal and Black Metal before what morphed into Norwegian Black Metal after Bathory.
I’m usually one that hates remixes, but Beyond The Gates really could use a remix…but make it sound like it was remixed in 1986, don’t modernise the drums etc
to hell with primus! (now that was a fad which was worse than grunge)_fuck all that Larry lelonde should have stayed with this band! Possessed needed to be releasing records till this day! imagine all the crazy and awesome records these dudes would have come up with!
How can you put Primus on the same level as Grunge? Primus actually made some really interesting music, compared to the watered down Grunge bullshit coming out in the 90's.
What the fuck were they thinking going in a more thrash than death direction or black direction. Its like they were unsure what to do with their talent. If you check out their interviews they admit they're not into pigeon holing or ascribing to any particular movement although they wouldn't mind being part of one. Chuck Schuldiner stayed at their club and hanged out with them. He knew all their riffs. Imagine if he'd recorded a couple of records with them. Imagine if Sepultura had stuck to dark black death metal like they did in Morbid Visions. Imagine if Slayer had gone full on death mode right after Reign in Blood. Goddamn it all to hell.
🎃POSSESSEDUNLEASHEDDARKNESS🎃 all new studio album should be available in March 2019 thir currently working new songs for three consecutive album's to be anoused releases cheers friends to heavy horrifyingly metal 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 YEESSS
Primus is the current band where Larry LaLonde is playing. I'm saying that he cant compare primus with possessed because they are way different from each other
but not better and why is he so ashamed of playing in a band that was far more groundbreaking in music itself then primus. possessed created a style of music that bands are and are trying to play to this day.
+gman hirt you clearly don't know how to argue about music man. Primus of course it's not better than Possessed because Primus is not even metal, its a different genre, maybe if you listen to primus you'll understand what I'm trying to explain to you.
@@Keith_from_LBC not even close. A guy who didn't write a single note for a band cannot be the band. Possessed is the combination of Sus' weird drumming, the wicked riffs and leads of Torrao and LaLonde and the vocals of Becerra and - the most important ingredient - the writing style of Mike Torrao which cannot be reproduced by any other. Possessed IS Becerra,Torrao,LaLonde and Sus ...
@@gerhardkoller3497 So you don’t like Revelations of Oblivion? Edit: Yes, Possessed WAS those guys, but now it IS Jeff Becerra. Not imposters at all. Jeff put together an exceptional group of guys to keep the Possessed sound alive. Revelations is as good, or better, than any of their old school releases.
Never understood what the big deal was with these guys... The music was never anything special or ground breaking, true they were very young at the time of their first album and I owned it because back then that's how you heard music ( you had to buy it) Always thought the vocals were weak, they had some cool riffs but nothing to be considered influential, other bands at the time left a much bigger mark on the scene
it was very ground breaking, it was pretty much the first step towards death metal, Death was the band that took what possessed had put down and turned it into death metal.
Back then they are first band with speed,dark riffs and growling vocals,and in my onpinion they have mayor influence on early death,and morbid angel style of music,you are or too young or too stupid to understand that!

I guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
Great gig! Fenders was pure chaos and violence!
If anyone is confused about which one is Larry and which one is Mike:
Larry is on the left, Mike is on the right
Heads banging, dudes hanging from the rafters, Possessed thrashing. Glorious.
Jeff's voice at its best
Full Lemmy at this early stage
I never knew Jeff was such a good bassist playing this stuff with his fingers. I can only imagine how awesome they would have been if not for his injury.
I was thinking the same! Dude was locked in steady
They disbanded three years before his "injury" ...
@@mattersburg71 He still played with his fingers which was unheard of at the time in metal.........
@@michaelmessina5341 🤣🤣yeah..no metal band ever had a bass player that used their fingers
@@samhain6953 Cliff Burton tocaba con los dedos.
My favorite death metal band🤘🏻💀
jeff rips on the bass!
He raping the bass and i liked it!loved this band!
respect to possessed , from italy

I WAS THERE!!! Bad ass show!
I saw them when they came out to New York I wanna say May June. Opens for overkill and Megadeth. Did they open for them in Cali?
Beyond the Gates tour 1986, excellent
Wasn't it Gates to Darkness tour over the turn of the year?
Ahhh , The Fenders Brawlroom Days.
Those shows were so much fun.
I wish this lineup would comeback!
Never happen. Larry is embarrassed to have been in possessed.
@@jgamer1130is this true? But how? Possessed is literally the first death metal band, it's legendary!
That voice so epic
And who in their right mind ever thought that Larry lalonde would eventually join Primus?! 😂
but he nailed it. twice!!
Right!!! I know and he never mentions that he used to be in possessed
All of the best executive chefs had to do the short order egg desk, lol
I’m just glad that he did.
Ler is officially the godfather of death metal.
Mike Torrao!!
The best thrash metal ever
Death metal
@@danielhaines3940 it’s kinda a mixture of both, technically.
no, it`s thrash metal, just very raw, the mixture its more like leprosy from death, death metal of course, but a lot of thrash metal influences there.

...the first 30 seconds make me go back 28 years ...this was so good at is time
This was my very 1st concert, Thanks!
Hell of a fucking first concert damn! I wasn't even alive in 1987.
Mine was Death Angel/Forbidden. We were lucky to have such sick starts to our shows.
Bautismo de fuego.
The Real and Only Possessed!
I love the new one too...
The new album sounds like a 80s album imo
They still have it!
🔥POSSESSED🔥🤘👹🤘🔥🔥🔥
larry wrote the music to phantasm!
what bullshit? Larry did indeed compose the music to Phantasm. To the song of course not to the movie!
Same with Seance.
Just a real fucking master piece from possessed
Awesome Material and footage I have this on DVD
First and pnly time I saw Possessed live🤘🤘🤘
Imagina se Chuck vocalista e guitarrista da banda death se ele fosse vivo fazendo uma dobradinha com o Jeff becerra ou com obituary ou morgoth queria muito ver e curtir isso + realmente não tem como mais 🤘🤟🎸🎶🥁🗣️🔥👹👿😈🇧🇷🎶🎵🔊👌👊😎
Gracias hombre. Poseído es el 1ro. banda de death metal que había visto en vivo allá por el 85 en la gira de Slayers Hell Awaits en Seattle.
BRUTAL .... JEFF BECERRA
3:14 HOLY HELL!!!
Masterpiece video , Possessed 4 ever !
Larry actually moved around on stage!!
Maybe Les just tells him to stand still..
@Lebo leigh Leigh ha..you dont like wynonna's big brown beaver?
@Lebo leigh Leigh Primus is considerably less goofy than most metal bands.
I wonder.
Yup been there done that twice almost like Deja Vu back to back shows of possessed ,same spot on the right, same smell ,Same drunx, set list, same ppl I went with, fuck same everthing , next day it was creepyer, same nightmares death metal came in the wind ,or was I just POSSESSED!!

They started touring again, saw them live a few months ago, jeff still sounds the same!
Excellent!
I had no Idea Larry Lalonde was in this before Primus.
HAILS POSSESSED!!
haha which one is per i cant even tell this is awesome as a fan of both this was truly enjoyable to watch
Do you mean “Ler”?
He’s on the left.
Nice dives.
Dude sounds like lemmy
No , more like Chuck sounded like Jeff as fuck in 1987 too
thank you bro
Amazing, thanks
HA HA Me stage dive at 13:10
Dope homie
That’s you?
@@EyesHaveMiles420 ha ha yeah

I was there. I see big Daryl working the stage
April 11 1987. Thanks.
This is the show from March 11, 1987. The April 11th show had all the bouncers on the stage to stop people from diving.

OH MY G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Classic
I really wonder why they split
Too much cocaine... Truth be told.
Is this the best A/V fottage of possessed out there ?
first 2 seconds and a man just pulled himself up out of frame into the ceiling
maravilha
The first band of its kind in America after Slayer. Possessed, Sacrifice and Death were the first wave of Death Metal and Black Metal before what morphed into Norwegian Black Metal after Bathory.
JEFF 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤘🏻🖤
Zarpado!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Which one is ler?
Hard to tell with, since they all have the same look and same hair.
Guitarist on the left
um larry?
Its weird seeing a pre mosh metal show.
I’m usually one that hates remixes, but Beyond The Gates really could use a remix…but make it sound like it was remixed in 1986, don’t modernise the drums etc
I can agree with you, but this album still has his sound that remix can kill
La voz más perra, sucia y corrosiva, grande Jeff !!!!
Seven churches,have that caotic guitar style from larry ler lalonde
Mike Torrao
to hell with primus! (now that was a fad which was worse than grunge)_fuck all that Larry lelonde should have stayed with this band! Possessed needed to be releasing records till this day! imagine all the crazy and awesome records these dudes would have come up with!
i guess its cause i associate primus with funk metal, and maybe thats not worse than the grunge trend when i think about it hahaha
How can you put Primus on the same level as Grunge? Primus actually made some really interesting music, compared to the watered down Grunge bullshit coming out in the 90's.
Imagine all the less cars, homes and pools hed have lol
Jones you are right about the interesting music...i
t was not trendy just that i was more into the aggresive metal
