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 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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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
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.
@@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.
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
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.🤘
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 ❤️🔥👏

Great story.
Awesome man, mine was Iron Maiden 10 wasted years,I think. They finally just sold it to me 😂
Awesome story man. I miss the days of renting movies and all that
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!
Same with me and New Kids On The Block!!
Show No Mercy is my favorite Slayer album.
cook
Mine too
my favorite metal album \m/
Same here
Heavy/Thrash mix! LOVE IT ! very unique! very special
Dave Lombardo still one of the greatest drummers ever😊
GOAT of the genre
I wish I could have seen a drum off between him and Nick Menza.
Absolutely.
Dave was 19 when they recorded this show 😳
@@ricstormwolfOh man that would be wild.
" 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!!!

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.
Of any metal band? XD You high, dude?
@@coldvoid show
Remember headbangers ball?
I saw them in 83’ at the El Caribe Inn in Hollywood. It was dark and red definitely not this sharp.
@@darrenprivate4391 oh hell yeah demonic
They didn't know they would become so much more than a band to their fans... It's a lifestyle. 🤘
Jesus, can you imagine? In 1985? That must have been INTENSE.
I mean really. These people probably thought they were from hell for real.
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.
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.
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.
Gold. RIP Slayer & Jeff. They are South of Heaven & still Reigning. .🤘🤘🤘
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.
I remember that show, Tom Araya kept telling us “To Scoot back, show some mercy”, we all kept crowding the stage, what a night.
I saw this show at a club in Long Beach,CA. Late July,early August,1985. Exodus opened.
Wow. Look at a young Kerry King with his flowing locks of brownstone. This is awesome 🤘🤘🍻
I started listening to Slayer in the '90s as a teenager, and seeing this now, after all this time...I know I'm a Slayer fan for life!
Show no mercy.....My favorite album from them
It's Seasons for me.. Wore the hell out of that CD..lol
Love this! I was 14. Brings back memories of my innocent youth!!!
Studio 54 played thrash metal! Wow what. Great video thank you!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Who knew😂 probably the tail end for that joint😂😂😂Slaytanic Wehrmacht!!!!
I was at this gig. The place was insanely packed.
Studio 54 in New York?
Yeah,where was this show?
@@glampervert Studio 54’s Wikipedia page does say it began hosting “special musical performances” in late 1984…
@@glampervert studio 54
@@Fakename70 yes. Was billed as “the ultimate revenge against disco” lol
Ive been listening to this on spodify for so long i never knew that there was a video
One of my favorite metal bands...nice to see Kerry King with his hair still long :)
But already thin on top
@@Tangman4209Yeah...Haha.
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
Best sound ever for live..
Jeff Hanneman was very tight ( right on ) in his solo. :) at 3:03

Nunca existira banda igual o slayer .muito perfeito
Slayer é Slayer, véi.
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.
Probably the highest-quality 480p video there is on TH-cam 🤘
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.🤘🏾
🙌🍻🤘👹🤘😁✌😎

Seen SLAYER the day after this show 4-4-1985 in Cleveland, Ohio with Exodus warming up and Venom as the final act.

Great upload!
Slayer anno 1985 was truly amazing!
holy shit, I didn't even realized this live recording existed on quality video footage like this. Excellent vhs rip!
So brutal. Nothing will ever compare. Nothing.
Oh how pitiful that you think that.
@@punkrock1989 cringe.
@@lotsapasta0858 Nobody said anything even remotely like that, you jumped to your own conclusion with that.
@@lotsapasta0858 Kreator, Dark Angel, Destruction, Possessed, Sodom, Bathory, Celtic Frost and Exodus are just a few.

Just now finding this on April 3rd 2023
This album was a turning point in my giving in to the dark side ❤❤❤
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 😄
@@magnolia972 Not even he himself can 😂
Excellent sound quality!!!!

I cannot be held liable for any damage to property or whatnot which may result from viewing this fine video.
On this performance, they were between 19 and 24. Amazing
great lead guitar on this song. for early slayer, i believe *this* song had the most solowork i recollect hearing
We were young once...and we were Slayer.
Absolutely killer performance!!
Tom Araya playing with fingers :0
Kerry King has awesome and killer guitar solos on this live video.
Whoever was there and saw this live is lucky af. Goddamn.
Saw em 13 times, Slayer ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Slayer is the most bad ass thrash metal band of all time nobody can top Slayer I'm so addicted to Slayer
I wonder if King ever got his guitar strings caught in those forearm spikes.
really nice, thank you! =)
The best years for underground metal/punk/thrash/hard core. I had a great time.
I had no idea Studio 54 hosted concerts.
Sounds amazing for years ago as expected 🤘
You know it's old when you see Kerry King with a full head of hair 😮
The hell in which we live . Futuristic .
The 300th like is from me because this shit is too good for 2021
METAL!
Someone went back in time with HD cameras. There was no footage this good in 1985. Nkt even Hollywood films looked this good
Vino por alambre y encontré oro puro
🍻 Gracias por ésto sos un crack 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Bass guitar cuts thru really well, this is awesome
Fooking ayy mates
The KK boots AND spikes era 🤟
Holy shit I miss those days

Did you say? i mean did he say?,"Kick ass frm Downey!!"in the intro??if i could go back in time?ide do the 80's again!!!sickkkk vid..peace...WDSTA1
Kick Ass Muldowney (Tom).
This is amazing
I was barely alive when this show happened.
In Tom's voice : "BARELY ALIIIIIIVE...!!
There is no Slayer without Tom's voice.
Old school metal warriors ☠️💪🤟
My favorite band scene them in there early days up the street at a small venue
@Richard K I have heard that Jeff was really shy and reserved
Metal Masterpiece... Those Are The Words Of The LORD 🔥Die By The Sword🔥
Sounds great love the song and album greatest of all
Jeff formed Slayer god rest hi soul.
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.
Hard to believe this is only 480p. Looks great.
Haunting the Chapel/Hell Awaits era. Extreme albums that forged with a few other bands the birthing of death metal.
I’d like to see a copy of their COMPLETE set from this show in stereo with this picture quality! 🔥🔥👊🏽😁🎶🎸🥁🎤🔊🔊
My name is Tony, I've got some bacon.
Hello
Kerry KIng's first solo is awfully random
But after this, this is a masterpiece !!!
I remember looking thru the new releases at Middle Earth records in Downey, I couldn't find whatever, saw this.
Awesome footage
I remember seeing this back then when it came out on video. In those days any video that was metal one of us would get it.
A melhor banda de heavy metal de todos os tempos!!!
Jeff really nails everything here
The Ultimate Revenge (Part 1) - Venom, Exodus, Slayer... 1985
Damn, I like the contrast between Hanneman's and King's guitar tones.
Amazing !!
yes
What a masterpiece !!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Epic share, cheers!
Per un vecchietto come me è sempre bello vedere i primi Slayer
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 ❤️🔥👏
Best Metal Band on Earth 👌🤘🤘🤘
I love those framing nails in his arm band
Wonderful
THEY. WERE. GLORIOUS!!
And the following year a little album called Reign in Blood came out.
