Kreator- Rock Palace, Middletown, NY 10/27/89 xfer from 2nd gen VHS Tape German Thrash Metal

OK Everybody- I made a mistake with yesterday’s On This Date in History post. I had a super busy day and was in a hurry, so I pulled the DVD and uploaded it without checking it. I accidentally pulled a Testament show from Philadelphia in 1989 which is already on YT in better quality so I deleted it. Here is the Kreator video I should have posted yesterday.

The one good thing about the mistake is that Sacramento flyer king Ken Doose had a flyer image for this Kreator show, with the venue name! So we now have more info and an appropriate image for the facebook posts.

Original write up:
Finally, here is today’s On This Date in History post. I searched all over the web and newspapers dot com and I can’t find a venue name or an ad for this show. The band played 2 nights before in Buffalo, so the date seems to be right. They were opening for Suicidal Tendencies on the 25th, so either this headlining show (or the ST show) was a one-off.

Slayer- Rock Palace, Portland Or 6/30/84 xfer from master cassette tape Thrash

Doug joined the band on their first tour of the northwest in June of 84. Along with taping the shows, he took some amazing photos that are being added to the Sacramento Music Archive website today. So, if you only subscribe to the youtube channel, you might want to hop over to the website and sign up for updates there.
On to this tape. This one cleaned up real nice. I was able to EQ the excessive high end out of it and boost bass/mids, then pop it into Izotope Rx8 and bring up vocals and bass guitar. Sounds alright!

It’s Tour Manager Doug Tuesday! It’s doesn’t feel like a Tuesday with so many people off for the holiday yesterday, including my kids. Not much time in the studio lately. Anyway, this one suffered from some high end distortion. I did my best to pull as much as distortion as possible out while boosting bass. I think it is uncirculated, so it has that going for it.
