BLOODGOOD PHOTOS CIRCA 1985

"This shot was taken right before our very first show. We opened up for Stryper (Yellow and Black Attack tour), April '85, in Bellingham., WA (at Bellingham High School, if I remember correctly). Tim Gaines led Les's son, Jeff, to the Lord before sound check." – Michael

"Live shot (two nights later) at the Paramount in Seattle, WA. (You can barely see Stryper's set behind J.T.) There was an awesome sense of God's presence that night." – Michael

"This is the last 1985 photo I can find. It was taken backstage before we opened up for the Darrell Mansfield Band at PLU in September of 1985. We had just finished recording the Metal Missionaries cassette and, thanks to Darrell, we would be signed to Frontline Records a month later." – Michael
