I used to rent this full show and it had Exodus and Venom. I was in high school at the time the little video store in town got this one in. People would get pissed because I never took it back and would re rent it over and over until they decided to sell it to me for $10. Give me a break. I was 16. I wore it out, but I remember that because of this tape I actually learned how to pull of alot of Slayer tunes on guitar and never stopped. I'm blessed to have found this here.
That story is so synonymous with the era! Same thing happened to me with Cliff’em all and the movie Amadeus! Rented it so much they finally sold it to me!
I was 16 when this came out. Friend of mine got a copy on video and we would watch it wondering how they play so fast. Never seen anything like it before. It was an experience.
absolutely.. people say the big 3 Slayer albums are RIB SOH and SITA, but that is wrong. The 3 album peak of real Slayer is HTC HA and RIB. with HTC being the pinnacle.
on some of the old boots when they are trying to tune and the crowd is loud Tom yells "Have you no mercy?" I think I'm going to put together a "Tom's greatest hits" of his stage banter sometime...
I saw Slayer at Madam Wong's West with Beowulf in 1984. Me and my friend were only 14 so they let us in with the help of Dave Lombardo's mom vouching for us. Everyone there was in the front row. Epic.
April 3rd 1985 my 10 th birthday.. Bought my first slayer record seasons in the abyss in 1990.. Back when 5 years felt like an eternity .. Now it feels like a couple of months
@@timbuk1126 he's right still. all those bands are good but what slayer did will never again happen. They revolutionized extreme metal more than ANY band. Took the sound of Mercyful Fate and the guitars of NWOBM and made it their own. They laid the foundation of everything.
I saw this tour at Fort Hesterly Armory Tampa Florida when I was 21. Testament and Anthrax were with them. They 3 bands were rotating as head liner band show to show. I had just seen Megadeath a few weeks before this show. I could tell clearly, even by this early time in the Thrash genre, Slayer was and would continue to be the best and the standard bearer on this beautiful new art!
The fucking best there is, I haven't listened in a month or so. Die by the sword just played, I went through my room like a god damn bulldozer. Nothing like it to bring me those deep pleasure moments hahahahahah. Fucking SLAYER rules
They played Hammerjaxx shortly after that dressed in chainmail. It was sick. Definitely there was fear in that hall on that particular night. Needless to say, every drink that night was served in a plastic cup - that was Slayer’s reputation!
I was 14... Listening to everything i could find in the village NYC. I bought a vhs with slayer, exodus and Venom...the sound and speed blew me away. Now 51, still listen and gives me the chills every time. dont give a flying f*** what people say.
Me too going to Sounds and Bleeker Bobs and small stores in the basement to buy all these records of unknown bands based on their albums covers and what they looked like and I can say that we found the soundtrack of our lives in the 80’s
I grew up with this! Love it. When this came out, as a metal head and guitar player, this was the next level for me! Kerry, Jeff, Tom, and Dave were it man.
I was literally just 3 days old when this was recorded and I will pay a handsome reward for anyone who can find the lost footage of babyme jamming the fuck out 😂
The first of the two times I saw them live was three years after this on the South Of Heaven tour with Nuclear Assault supporting. I don't think I have ever seen this, it was only Hell Awaits from the same show so it was good to see this.
'85...let's see...I went to my 1st concert (KISS and W.A.S.P.) as a 12 year old. It wouldn't be for maybe another year that my brother would introduce me to SLAYER. The thrash/speed metal genre has come quite a long ways since then, but if these 4 guys never got together, it would have been a lot different.🤘
True story : I had a french exam like one month ago where we had to write a thesis (disseration pour ceux qui savent parler français) on a quote from Jean Paul Sartres : "Longtemps j'ai considéré ma plume pour mon épée" ("There's a long time i've been taking my pen as my sword") and i was like : "THEY SAY the PEN is mightier than the SWORD ! I say f the pen !! Cause you've been dying by the sword"
The best of times to be a metal head. The shit was still underground and taking off at the same time. After 1988, it all went to shit . My opinion only . Kerry Kings mocking bird with black candlewax melted on it pretty cool. That's old-school metal genius.
Love seeing Kerry King with hair 😎🤘 after so many years of seeing him with the shave head and goatee you kinda forget he use to have long hair and clean shaving 🤣👌 like Zack wylde or dimebag etc. What a great performance ❤️🔥👏
Kerry has his hands full during this song. People were talking the other day that they can tell the difference between Kerry songs and Jeff songs, I have been with Slayer since the beginning and I can't tell the difference, yeah Kerry is a dick now, but he was pretty cool BITD.
@@kickyourfaceandlaugh607 Kerry king songs usually contain simpler riffs (with a shit ton of exceptions) like songs off of GHUA or Repentless, where he had the most songwriting.
Look at Slayer's first 4 albums. Pick out all of the legendary songs, the ones played at every show. The ones everyone knows (I mean I know them all back and forth but..) Your Dead Skin Masks, your Angel of Death, Raining Blood, South of Heaven the list goes on and on. Music: Hanneman. Even the ones that are not only Hanneman are both Hanneman/King. Find me the songs where the music was written solely by Kerry... almost none of the classics. Make no mistake, when it came to music writing, Hanneman was God. King was second fiddle. All you have to do is look at Repentless and it's terrible songwriting to see that. I have never been a Kerry fan. Its funny that Kerry hates on South of Heaven for having "too much singing". Which means he is the cause of the "scream everything in one monotone key" garbage that we heard on every album after Seasons. (I liked D.I. but... the vocals were the beginning of the downfall of Tom's abilities and the beginning of his "SCREAM. EVERY. THING. LIKE. THIS. IN. EVERY. SONG" style which was nothing short of disappointing. I think Slayer would have been better with Hanneman/Holt. There. I said it.
Man, that takes me back. That was from the decline of western civilization with exodus doing piranha and even has interviews and Venom is in the video but looks like early 80s production video.

I wish I could have seen a drum off between him and Nick Menza.
Absolutely.
Dave was 19 when they recorded this show 😳

I've never seen it look this sharp. Probably the best live footage ever shot of them. Of any metal band, for that matter. Young, hungry and intense.

Jesus, can you imagine? In 1985? That must have been INTENSE.
I mean really. These people probably thought they were from hell for real.

If you think this was intense for 1985, imagine the people who heard Sepultura's Bestial Devastation
Big boomboxes, wristbands, real spaghetti o’s
Best times of my life.
" Show No Mercy" is one of the best metal albums ever. This is great classic footage.
YES AND ONE OF THE BEST COVERS EVER❤
God damn the 80s was a great time for music!!!
Show some respect people.. Hanneman is slim, King got hair and Araya has no beard even at that age!
King looks more metal without hair.
Best Slayer ever. Demonic, satanic, brutal, fast, technical as no one back then. Lombardo is the father of modern metal drumming.
absolutely.. people say the big 3 Slayer albums are RIB SOH and SITA, but that is wrong. The 3 album peak of real Slayer is HTC HA and RIB. with HTC being the pinnacle.
@hrgiger6 dude ,haunting The chapel was only a 3 songs EP.
@@hrgiger6 I respectfully disagree. RIB is the gold standard of thrash and still the all time best. Number 2 is Sepultura Beneath the Remains.
satan is good
Dude, Slayer as a whole is The Godfather of real metal
That intensely dark & super heavy shit
I remember that show, Tom Araya kept telling us “To Scoot back, show some mercy”, we all kept crowding the stage, what a night.
yeah theres a video of my uncle there that night, screaming, and even my dad I think lol
@Richard K yeah, my eyeglasses got knocked off, people moshing, me on all fours on the floor trying to find my glasses. Never found them.
Cringe.
Should have yelled “Show No Mercy”
on some of the old boots when they are trying to tune and the crowd is loud Tom yells "Have you no mercy?" I think I'm going to put together a "Tom's greatest hits" of his stage banter sometime...
Kerry is hitting switches on his guitar like it matters lol
lol
he played the wrong solo also…..doesn’t matter 😄
He hit the Idgaf switch. When that didn't work he flipped the WTF switch.
I saw Slayer at Madam Wong's West with Beowulf in 1984. Me and my friend were only 14 so they let us in with the help of Dave Lombardo's mom vouching for us. Everyone there was in the front row. Epic.
They didn't know they would become so much more than a band to their fans... It's a lifestyle. 🤘
Ive been listening to this on spodify for so long i never knew that there was a video
geezus i was 22 then....worked studio 54 yrs after this briefly, back in the day with no cellphones, just kids banging heads...great times.
Kerry King's random notes during solos will always makes me laugh... But the song and the video kicks ass !
I agree. Just hitting a bunch of random notes as quickly as he can.
it’s impossible to copy one of his solos 😄

You know it's old when you see Kerry King with a full head of hair 😮
Talk about an amazing show. Exodus, Slayer and Venom. It must have been amazing to actually be there.
We walked amongst giants. Freaking saw them this tour. And lived to tell the tale.🤘🏾

Whoever was there and saw this live is lucky af. Goddamn.
The 300th like is from me because this shit is too good for 2021
METAL!
Seen SLAYER the day after this show 4-4-1985 in Cleveland, Ohio with Exodus warming up and Venom as the final act.
On this performance, they were between 19 and 24. Amazing
There is no Slayer without Tom's voice.
holy shit, I didn't even realized this live recording existed on quality video footage like this. Excellent vhs rip!
This album was a turning point in my giving in to the dark side ❤❤❤
I wonder if King ever got his guitar strings caught in those forearm spikes.
I grew up with this! Love it. When this came out, as a metal head and guitar player, this was the next level for me! Kerry, Jeff, Tom, and Dave were it man.
great lead guitar on this song. for early slayer, i believe *this* song had the most solowork i recollect hearing

Someone went back in time with HD cameras. There was no footage this good in 1985. Nkt even Hollywood films looked this good

So good
New school "thrash" doesn't come close. This was lightning in a bottle, how lucky are the folks who were there
I was surprised to see Araya fingerpicking his bass. It sounded better this way IMO. Great footage!
Honestly the albums where Tom used his fingers, the bass sounds so much better. Wish he would have kept doing than rather than using a pick.
@@justgaming4fun82probably used a pick when the tunings went down
