Exodus- L’amour, Queens NY 4/2/85 xfer from master audio cassette Thrash MITFR

Here’s a cool historical document- the night before the Studio 54 show (seen on the Ultimate Revenge home video), Slayer and Exodus played a show 7 miles away at L’amour East. Lucky New Yorkers to get 2 shows, for sure.

I think this is one of Doug’s master tapes. I hear him yelling as Exodus does Impaler as an encore. It also sounds like one of his walkman recordings.. but the tape does not say “original” as many of his masters do and it is on a different tape brand than usual. I am sure Doug or Mark Kurtzner will correct me if I am way off base.

EDIT: It’s a master tape. Thanks Doug!

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.
