the first disc in particular is just a brilliant snapshot of seasons-era slayer at its peak :xx:



oddly enough the only weak link is lombardo :krinor: a few major fuck-ups, most agonizingly the roll at the end of angel of death



nonetheless. :thingy:

I always liked DOA because it sounds like a really good bootleg and not some studio magic live bullshit.

Some moments on this that are stuck in my head. That scream from the audience during the Hell Awaits intro :xx: Tom's words before War Ensemble. I also think this raised my interest in the first two albums. If I remember correctly, it's been a while ;) Slayer! :horns:

hell awaits right into antichrist is perhaps the best possible way to begin a slayer show.

UGH why would you want slayer to sound like pantera



DoA needs to just be listened to and appreciated as it is, 'cuz it's a mighty fat fuck of a win :thingy:

it was more less a joke but i like live albums to have a really loud, clear production that has a punch to it. since decade of aggression is over 20 years old obviously it doesnt have that great of a sound. i do understand that there is appeal to the original recording for what it is

i think doa sounds splendid. it sounds like slayer going "you dont need to push that to the max for the CD because we already did that in concert :xx: "

Same here. Slayer taught me how to alternate-pick like a mofo. :bang:

The beauty of Slayer is their adherence to principle. The principle of BRUTALITY! I can honestly say that were it not for listening to Blessed Are the Sick and Altars of Madness back in the day, my fanaticism would be for Slayer and not MA. As up until that point it was purely Metallica and the Slaytanic Nation baby!



For then, it became nothing but pure Damnation and Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost during the Day of Suffering as I walked with the Ancient Ones and In Remembrance I longed for the Desolate Ways as I continued forth in to the Chapel of Ghouls in order to Bleed For the Devil as I cried out to the Lord of All Fevers and Plague! The Visions From the Dark-side renewed the Evil Spells discovered within the Maze of Torment as my Fall from Grace into the Rebel Lands cleansed my mind with a Brainstorm of knowing, Thy Kingdom Come!



I have never looked back once. :xx:



Plus, last time I saw them, when Raining Blood starting playing, it started raining red inside the club :bang: Or either the acid was kicking a helluva lot harder than I realized :krinor:



Atlanta – March of 1995!

Yeah Lombardo did kind of drag his feet on that album. But wasn't he suffering pretty bad from back pain/disinterest in the band around that time? It also sounds like there were some issues with the drum mics.



Awesome set list though, and Slayer is pretty much my only motivation to get new computer speakers since one of the channels no longer works.
