Slayer- L’amour East, Queens NY 4/2/85 xfer from master or 1st gen audio cassette Audience Recording

It’s an early Tour Manager Doug Tuesday post today. It looks like my son got me sick again, and the ol “vice on the lungs” feeling woke me up at 5am. Let’s hope it’s just allergies.
Anyway, after promising a Slayer post every week, I realized that this is the only one I had prepped and uploaded for today. Next Thursday, on the day that Slayer returns to Sacramento, I will post a really cool one- one of the most unique in Doug’s collection.
I am not sure if Doug taped this one, so I am calling it master or a 1st gen copy. It looks like there is a board tape of this show up on youtube, but here is an audience recording as well. It has a bit of distortion that I did my best to EQ out.

Recorded by: Tour Manager Doug? (from his collection)
Equipment used: Sony Walkman WM-R2

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card

Gravelgut- 1980s demos Sacramento Thrash Metal Punk R.I.P. Chris White

I found out today that an old friend/acquaintance from the “old days” passed away recently. Chris was in our Roseville/Rockin metal/punk scene in the 1980s and he was lead singer/guitarist of the band Gravelgut. I went to school with drummer Troy Tausch and knew the guys well. I As a tribute, I thought I’d post the one of the only recordings that I have of the band. These demos are pretty damned good, listening after 30 years. Nice job Chris, Dustin and Troy. Sorry to friends and family for your loss. I can also upload a pretty poor sounding recording of the Jones Hall show in 1986, opening for Exodus if you’d like.
