It’s Monday! I was going to post another aftershock video until I realized I screwed up and missed 1 part of the 10 step workflow and need to fix and re-upload, so you might get that tomorrow or Wednesday.
This one is more appropriate for a Monday anyway. I enjoy relaxing and listening to these Hitchcock shows and this one sounds great. Surprised that this one isn’t online somewhere already.

This one is from Chris Eng’s audiocassette collection. Lineage is unknown- it has a slight bit of hiss but not too bad. It sounds like a boombox recording that was put on the ground of the venue- lots of full low end and not much in the mids/highs. I dehissed it, EQ’d it to bring up mids and highs, but vocals were still buried. I ran an izotope rebalance which makes the vocals more audible, but they kind of bounce around between barely audible and overpowering.
If anyone knows the year, let me know. I could not find anything on this show. Maybe Metal Mike P might have some info.

Wow, we made it a whopping 8 days without a Slayer post. This one comes from Baltimore, in the very non-Slayer sounding Seagull Inn. That makes me wonder- is this the most wimpy-named venue that Slayer ever played? I know that they were too big to play the Sit-n-Spin laundromat/music venue in the 90s. Chime in if you know of any evil bands playing silly venues. Venom at Unicorn Stables or some sh*t.
I would say that this is an average Doug recording- slight distortion, bass rumble since I had to push the EQ to get anything low in the mix, and slightly fuzzy separation of instruments. Still, Slayer at Seagull Inn!

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! I know I promised a different week of content this week, but one thing will continue until we run out of stuff– TM Doug Tuesday.
Man, I love this flyer. It looks like a flyer to a party, and it looks a lot like a flyer that Christian Devine made for me when I had a party with bands, back in 1982 or 83, at my Dad’s house in Citrus Heights. We even got a keg! Man, times were different back then.
