Exodus- Kabuki, San Francisco Ca 7/7/84 xfer from master audio cassette bay area thrash metal

Another Doug recording to round out the week of audio posts. I just looked through the box of tapes that I have not done yet and there is a ton of Slayer and Exodus left to go. It’s unbelievable. Stay tuned…
I pushed the EQ on this one a lot- there was some high end distortion that I had to get out of there. The odd vocal in/out phasing is that way on the (pre-EQ) tape. What a show- Exodus, Anthrax w/Turbin, then Raven when they were one of the best bands around.

Raven- Kabuki, San Francisco Ca 7/7/84 xfer from master audio cassette Heavy Metal NWOBHM

I was trying to decide between this show or a Slayer show that Tour Manager Doug taped… then I saw that it was John Gallagher’s birthday yesterday, so Raven it is! I am a huge fan of early Raven, so this is awesome. This is another show that I would have attended if I was just a year or 2 older.
I could not find any images related to the show, so I decided to use this flyer from their appearance at the Record Exchange in Walnut Creek the next day. Man, I loved that store. I spent so much of my money there when I was a teenager. They would send me a box of records in the mail C.O.D. (cash on delivery for you youngsters). You would then pay the mail carrier for the items. Wild man, Wild!
This one sounds pretty damned good, post-EQ. Thanks Doug!!
