I wasn’t planning on posting this one, but I gave this another listen while prepping the disc for Eric and it sounds pretty good for a 1985 Venom tape!
This is yet another gen from Eric Mcintire’s collection.

Here’s another Doug tape for you all- it looks like there was a partial version of this show out there, but no complete ones. It is hard to tell if the other one on YT is the same recording as this- the other one sounds very different, cuts in mid-show and has a bunch of tape hiss and hum. This one is clean and complete. Thanks Doug!
I did not know that YJM played any shows in the US in early 85- I saw him at the Crest in June of 85. Apparently he came over twice to play/tour.

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!!

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.

I just saw a facebook post from Charlie Benante that it was Scott Ian’s birthday on 12/31. Wow, imagine having that date as a bday- there’s always a party. It looks like they had a good time…
Here is a show from Tour Manager Doug where Anthrax were most definitely NOT having as good of a time (get it? NOT). People who were at this show told me that a couple of band members came out in leopard print spandex/stretch pants and the spit started to fly. Man, the bay area did that “de-posering” of out of town bands a couple of times that I am aware of with Slayer’s “take off the makeup” show and this. Well done, guys.
I EQ’d this one as best as I could, but it sounds similar in quality to the exodus set. Regardless, I am still super grateful of Doug to tape these- I had only ever seen B&W photos of this show from Metal Mania.

Another Doug tape for you here. It looks like there is some kind of CD bootleg out there of this show that touts “perfect sound”, but I haven’t heard it. I wonder if it is similar to the Yngwie Kabuki show from 1985 I posted recently– the bootleg of that show was clearly a different recording.
