Hangar 18 live at The Crossroads
Yucaipa, CA
July 26, 2003

Hangar 18 returned to one of the Inland Empire's finest venues, The Crossroads in Yucaipa. The Crossroads has a huge open-air stage and a quaint biker bar area, located at the first exit past civilization. Joining us on the bill were our friends Prophecy, a killer tribute to Queensryche, Monkey Business (tribute to Skid Row), and the fabulous Led Zepagain (tribute to Led Zeppelin).

The stage at the Crossroads is so huge, that the HUGE banner that spread across it dwarfed our little H18 banner. Nevertheless, there was plenty of room to run around, plus extra space still for Fro Mustaine's hair to expand.

 

The show was wrought with onstage mishap. Guitarist Marty "Vic" Doty had technical difficulties such that he was not able to switch to a lead channel, while Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros broke a string on her bass within the first 20 seconds of the first song. Despite the technical problems, the show over all played out well.

OH!!! Another classic Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson "drum face".

Whole lotta shreddin' going on. There were no new additions to the setlist, but guitarist Marty "Vic" Doty performed "Reckoning Day" for the first time on that warm summer night.

Jackson boys.

 

Dan Lilker? Howard Stern? No! That's none-other than our tight-jeaned Fro Mustaine!

Flyer Gallery: The flyer for the Crossroads is the first to feature the band in the Marty "Vic" Doty configuration. It features the cover artwork of Youthanasia .
