14 September 1985 was a date on the BIA tour. Who joined who on stage that date? 

[Pottel]

it was definitely mark (and Guy?) joining JJ.
there used to be a tour list of jj shows, but i cannot find it anymore. may have been the 16th

I have the 18th of December - one of the Hammersmith shows.  EC was there that night too.

nono, i once received a reply from Mike Kappus, JJ's manager, mentioning the show somewhere in south california, mid sept. mark joining JJ. that is where this pic is from.

Well, thank you for awakening this sleeper, with this fantastic photo! Two of my favorite musicians together! It is a pity JJ had left this planet, but it is never late for a tribute or  even a studio wizardry, to make them meet in a song.
I guess TJW met MK while recording Tina Turner's "foreign affairs" . Anyway I believe MK's sound is unique, even to the untrained ear, while TJW and JJ, although very influential and with unique style, demand a trained ear to be recognized out of context. Both have a unique voice that is so recognizable!
And the EC and JJ collaboration isn't that bad! I adore Hard to thrill and I skip Don't cry sister, but through out it is a good record!

So, thank you for the photo! (and yes the link does not lead anywhere but the same photo)

It does not seem as if they played in Oakland on that tour, but nevertheless it should be from September 1985 (which also matches Mark's look and Schecter guitar)

Could that have been the Concord Pavillion?  They played two nights there, the 13th and 14th of September '85 and the night of the 13th is available on two separate bootlegs!

[Pottel]

i had such a great contact with JJ's manager. then lost it.

Of course not!  We're never that lucky.

[Pottel]

i am pretty sure a recording exists.

i am pretty sure a recording exists.

But is it circulated?

[Pottel]

what i meant is, mark must've been stupid not to have recorded that, or jj

They were young, they thought they had time...
