(Yes, all three bands were professionally videotaped and broadcast
on an unknown local cable TV station.  Armored Saint's complete
show has been in bootleg trading circles for well over a decade.
Vocalist John Voorhees confirmed to me in 2013 that he has the
video for Jekyl & Hyde, but "No one will ever see it while I am alive."
Bummer.  This is the only known concert video of any WITCH band
member pre-WITCH, and is the only known recording of Jekyl & Hyde.
