Originally shared by Steve Hagar (Ballsdeep), and the tape was tracked by Dandrew. From Steve: "these 2 RATM shows were recorded by a taper friend, obtained by me over 20 *years* ago".

Notes

A huge thanks to New Millennium Jones for providing us with a copy of this footage! This is absolutely incredible - not too many full professionally shot videos out there of Rage. This recording captures Rage at their peak in 1996 at the second of two nights at Aragon. High energy show; so grateful that it was captured. I cannot thank NMJ enough! This is the only known full video capture of Rage performing Fuck the Police which makes this footage very special.
