Slayer- Practice/Rehearsal 11/5/84 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal

Back to the audio on Monday- another rarity from Tour Manager Doug’s collection. Sounds like they were still working through some of those Hell Awaits songs on this tape, even though they recorded the album a couple months prior to this. Very cool, thanks Doug!

Slayer- Empire Rock Club Philadelphia, Pa 11/1/84 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal

I’m a little late with the post today because this Win 7 dinosaur of a PC was acting up- it acts like it burns a blu ray, but when you check the disc, it’s blank. At least I was able to ID it real-time and after multiple burn tests and reboots, back in biz.
It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! Since there is an unbelievable amount of Slayer in his collection, let’s get at least 1 slayer show up per week for the next.. let’s see.. 12 weeks or so. That will land us right around the time that they play Aftershock.
This one appears to be uncirculated. When I usually look up a Doug tape, there is some hissy/inferior quality version of it online somewhere. Not this one, and I had never even heard of this club. It seems to be your typical 80s Metal club- everything from Thrash to Hair and all in between.
This one cleaned up alright- it was super tinny but EQ did the job this time.
