Slayer- Larry’s Hideaway, Toronto Canada 10/27/84 xfer from master tape Thrash Metal

It’s not a week unless we post a Slayer show from Doug. I found this gem of a picture while I was checking online for a photo or flyer from the show- that’s Doug behind Kerry, holding the Sony Walkman WM-R2. That’s a pretty cool find- thanks to the photographer Ihor Hirak for capturing not only Slayer, but Doug and the recorder.
I am currently digitizing the rest of the sets from this canada run- including opening bands- some great stuff upcoming.

Razor- Larry’s Hideaway, Toronto Canada 10/27/84 xfer from master cassette Speed Thrash Metal

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! I EQ’d this one a while back and I thought it sounded great, and it does sound nice and full but there is no/very little snare drum in the mix. Maybe I need to give this the izotope treatment and repost.
Anyway, here is Doug’s recording of Razor in their prime. I bought the Evil Invaders LP when it was released in 1985 and I never realized that they had released 2 albums before EI… I don’t recall those getting distribution in the US. I loved that EI album, it ripped.
I finally got to see them in 2016 at California Death Fest along with Nuclear Assault. Original guitarist Dave Carlo is partially blind, it was pretty amazing to see him perform in person.
HUGE thanks to Doug for recording their opening set for Slayer. Like I said, it sounds pretty damn nice. Needs more snare.
