Abattoir- The Stone, San Francisco Ca 2/19/84 xfer f/ master audiotape Power Speed Metal Los Angeles

Alright, here is another rarity from Tour Manager Doug’s box of tapes. This looks to be the earliest known recording of Los Angeles speed metal band Abbatoir in existence. They were opening for one of Megadeth’s first shows ever (the ones with Kerry on guitar).
I did my best to bring the high end down and bass up on this one- the snare was way back in the mix to start, but it gets better. One of those apparent “soundcheck during first song of set” deals.

Abattoir- Ruthie’s Inn, Berkeley Ca 2/17/84 xfer f/ master audio tape Power Speed Metal Los Angeles

Another one from Tour Manager Doug to round out the audio portion of the week. I have been so busy with work and kids, I had to dig deep for this weekend’s videos. Be prepared for some cool and obscure stuff!
Here is Abattoir, opening Megadeth’s first show ever. I did the normal EQ work and it sounds alright!
