Thanks for the upload Avenger!
MA actually has an interesting bio on the band, reproduced below:
St. Elmo's Fire was formed in Sacramento/Citrus Heights, California by guitarist Jeff Jones and vocalist Tim Raynor-Allwein in June 1979. Drummer Alan Kreutzer and bassist Steve Raynor joined later that summer.
Due to their high energy performances and songs the band quickly became a favorite in the local club scene especially in college areas such as UC Davis and Berkeley. Within a year they were opening for major acts such as Nightranger, Y&T, Nazareth and other major acts, in the Bay Area club circuit which included the prestigious Keystone Clubs. Their original demos soon became highly sought after and the band would literally sell thousands to their fans.They remain highly collectable even today.
In 1981 the band completed a 4 month tour of Canada where they caught the attention of producer Dito Godwin (No Doubt, Great White, Peter Criss, Wildside) who agreed to produce and manage the band. In 1982 the band released their first single “Too Bad” to rave reviews in the US and Europe. By 1983 the band relocated to Hollywood and soon Zane Lazar replaced Tim as vocalist . Kris Gustofson of Shrapnel recording artist “Trauma” ( which included bassist Cliff Burton who later was recruited by Metallica) joined the band on drums as well as bassist Simon Evans from Switzerland.Performed all over Northern California starting in 1980 in Davis California playing at such clubs as "The Brewery" and the "Antique Bizarre".
Later played the San Francisco Bay area opening for international acts such as Nightranger, Y&T, Motley Crue, Nazareth among others,
Became regulars on the famous Keystone Club circuit before relocating to L.A in 1984.
Played at the Whisky-a Go -Go, the Roxy, The Troubadour and Gazzarri's in Hollywood before signing their first record deal in 1986.
St. Elmos Fire soon became a hit on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood performing regularly at the Whisky-A-Go-Go,The Roxy, The Troubadour, and Gazzarri’s. Even though they played a darker and harder sound than most “Strip” bands at the time , the LA fans loved them and they headlined with such bands as Warrant, Poison,and Hurricane amongst others.
In 1992 after their “Lovers and Madmen” tour St. Elmos Fire disbanded. Jeff, in 1993, joined the California based band “Vamp Le Stat”, where he recorded and wrote the “Bloodline“ CD before leaving in 1995.
Currently guitarist Jeff Jones and drummer Kris Gustofson are planning a possible return of St. Elmos Fire.
