The Misfits played their final show at Detroit's Graystone Hall in 1983. A disastrous set from the very beginning, the fill-in drummer Brian Keats was so drunk he got thrown off the stage after the first 3 songs and Todd Swalla from the Necros had to fill in for the fill-in for the rest of the set.
Couple this with increasing tensions between bandmates and the writing on the wall became abundantly clear...

The lineup featured Glenn Danzig on vocals, Jerry Only on bass, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein on guitar, and Brian “Damage” Keats on drums. However, the performance took a chaotic turn when Keats showed up heavily intoxicated and struggled to keep up with the band. After several songs, he was escorted offstage, and Necros drummer Todd Swalla stepped in to finish the set.
Before the drummer switch, Danzig announced to the crowd that it was the band’s “last show ever.” The marathon performance featured more than 30 songs, including covers of Black Flag’s “Rise Above” and Negative Approach’s “Can’t Tell No One,” which featured guest vocals from John Brannon.
Ohh, to have been there to see that!
Happy Anniversary, Glenn!
