Exodus- Ruthie’s Inn, Berkeley Ca 3/30/84 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal Paul Baloff

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! Or, as archive follower Mike Peacock says, “never heard of him”. Of course you have never heard of people taping. We were in the background, trying not to get caught! Just making fun, Mike.
Here is a fun and loose set from Exodus at Ruthie’s. As is usual with this time period, you get most of BBB and 3 demo songs.

Exodus- Wolfgang’s, San Francisco Ca 1/30/84 xfer from master audio tape thrash metal

Let’s kick of the work week in a good way- here is the mighty Exodus with a pre-1st LP set from Tour Manager Doug’s collection. Man, I love these early sets with songs from BBB along with some pre-LP songs.
I really pushed the EQ on this one and I think it sounds really good. I am enjoying the hell out of it. Doug was the man when it came to finding a venue’s sweet spot.
Some low end noise in between songs because I cranked up the bass a bunch. I think it’s a good tradeoff.

Exodus- Wolfgang’s, San Francisco Ca 12/20/83 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash Metal Baloff

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! it looks like we have exactly enough Doug posts to get us to the end of the year. That was unplanned but convenient.

Since everyone is still buzzing from Exodus’ first headlining show around here in forever, let’s post this one today…
3 songs from this set have been on “Lord Pryderi’s ~ (great) Metal History channel” – check his out if you haven’t already. He posts from Verne’s master tapes, I post from Doug’s… 2 of the early bay area thrash tapers are covered between us(3 if you count Wayne Vanderkuil’s mostly punk with some metal collection). Now we just need Mr. Ron Quintana to get his stuff out there and we can call it done.
I love these early sets with the pre-LP songs in the set.
