That happened at the show in Noblesville Indiana too. We had a thunderstorm come down hard before the show and delay it long enough to have to cancel the first act at for the showing here. Even though the meet and greet was expensive, it was worth it that show, because Slayer took care of us and made sure we had bar access to protect against the rain. that normally would have cost extra for us. There were people there that looked like they jumped into a pool before the show started, and I believe it was the first show of the season at that place, so it was a bit chilly.The show was great. I wish the meet and greet was like my other one with I had with Jake E Lee, where I could take a picture with my phone and didn't feel rushed. I don't blame the band for this. They were cool. it's just that it was a lot of waiting. I can understand that the storm we had there made them busy, but it would be cool to have had a quick group meet so we could tell them to play better music in the bar. I didn't think to record a video in the bar so you could hear that they don't play that music on any radio station across the Midwest or on your way to Florida. The music the bar played was nothing you would be drinking to in any bar that I been to either. this was the venues fault for making the time go slower while I waited. All and all it's what I remember when I think of the show I attended. I wish after a few years Slayer gets back together for a few shows. Ozzy and Motley Crue sort of ruined the idea of retirement, but gave some hope that Slayer will be back.
At Riot Fest in IL, it was the same lmfao. Everyone stayed back a good 15 mins as Tom is damn near in tears saying “sorry, we cant play more, they wont let us”
Slayer's last show of their farewell tour was November 30th 2019. First case of Covid 19 was Dec 2019. We never knew it but Slayer was keeping the world safe all these years
That would be something that they would tell their grandchildren. "I had no idea that I was going to see the band which basically inspired thousands of bands to push the limits of metal on their final night."
How has no one mentioned the way Tom looked at the end? When he walked up to the crowd and just stood there for like 2 minutes without moving or talking. You can see him in taking it all in. He is in disbelief. Thinking of the wild journey that has been Slayer. It was hitting him hard. You can tell when he went up to the mic after and gave that little mini speech. You could hear his voice cracking. He is genuinely going to miss this.
He did this at every show on the farewell tour. I saw them in Ottawa in 2019. My buddy saw them in Laval and at the last Canada show at Heavy Montréal. Emotionnal times indeed
I think he really was done and ready to retire. But the finality of what they were doing on this last tour was something that I think was not lost on Tom.
I love how Tom Araya simply stares at each section of the audience like they were his children going away for life, lol. He seems deeply moved by all of this. Great band.
Preach . I have ol school satanic slayer shirts! And a a 3 year old and when tom said thanks for hanging, time is precious! I cried my eyes out. Ha, metal! Haha 😄
@@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825 to be fair the guy there had come in to replace Lombardo twice so also worthy enough also. Both him and Lombardo will definitely be carrying on.
@@springbloom5940 you didn't see the middle of it then because I'm pretty sure that was a pit... 🤣 Normally is with last songs especially when each song typically by them is in succession. You have a mixture of new crowds and the older generation also. Still amazing and Tom's voice has Barely aged
Only song I recorded. Wanted to join the concert in real, traveling from Germany for this concert... Sorry for bad quality. Watched the concert live, not through my mobile
@@moralcompass3252 Cool, this makes Tom Araya extremely gay because he was crying at the end of both LA shows. But we all know he's not gay. So what now? It's almost like crying doesn't have anything to do with one's sexuality... You feel redpilled already?
The music will live on through the ages.... in 50 years time a young kid will hear Raining Blood or Angel Of Death for the first time and be in awe....
I had the chance to witness Slayer two different times on their Farewell Tour, first was November 18th,2018 in Barcelona and the second was in my hometown, Athens Greece, on July 13th 2019(which kinda was the last destination of their european tour, before coming back some weeks later for a final show in Wacken I think). That moment when Araya speaks his last words and walks off the stage just brings me the chills when I remember it. Both times I was like "wow, what the hell did I just witness?" and it just leaves you there stunned. Thank you Slayer. You are legends! \m/
@@VideoGameMusicFan13 -Wednesday July 10th, Bucharest, Romania -Thursday July 11th, Sofia, Bulgaria -Saturday July 13th, Athens, Greece -Wednesday July 31st, Wacken -Saturday August 3rd, Stuttgart, Germany Between July 13th and 31st they didn't play a show anywhere else which basically means they just came back in Europe for two shows. That's what I meant when I said their final stop of their european tour. Because of the number of days between their show in Athens and Wacken.
Last nights final show was my 15th time seeing them. It was sure surreal. Just wished they played longer. 1hr, 40 min isnt enough. I seen them play 2 hrs many times.
I saw them once. Providence, RI Lupos Heartbreak hotel in 2002? Maybe 2003 and it was actually bad. Turned me off from Slayer for a long while. I like the music but I have to admit I am not amongst those crying.
@@l04d83 Never saw Motorhead, but I did meet Lemmy in Vegas and he did act like a dick. Turned me off Motorhead for a while, but they are a good band. Not gonna let a bad experience sour me.
i did the same on saxon show... he took my hand and i wrenched it, took pick from the floor and i let the guards escort me to entrance xD even the dude who took my place in 1st row let me there again... Great memories!
@Allan Franzner Not always. In Glasgow last year Gary threw a pick at my son on the barrier at the end of the show. (We'd met him at a clinic the night before then did the Slayer M&G beforehand). Pick fell short of the barrier. Gary screams at security guard to give it to my son. Rest of front row screams to give it to my son. I scream to give it to my son. S Guard picks it up and checks it's the right kid and hands it over. We give Gary a big chest thump, he does the same back, everyone smiles :)
@Allan Franzner It was a great 24 hours. My son got up and jammed on Frankie's bass at the clinic too while Gary stood and watched. I caught 2 KFK picks right from his hand during the show too. Just a great time - gonna miss these guys.
I was on first Slayer gig in Poland. My son saw Slayer for the first time a year ago and catch pick from Gary . At Download 2019 he saw last Slayer gig in UK. Parenthood done right \m/
Watching from London. Sad, but going out on top. I saw them over 30 years ago first time....end of a chapter in my life. Got a bit of a lump in my throat when Kerry dropped his chains. Thank you Slayer.
You got to take a HUGE " L" there. Fuck me, they were together for nearly 40 years. Statistically, you should have seen them by ACCIDENT during that time 🤣🤘
@@bricktop. : People have jobs and shit. Besides, we're talking about Slayer here. Every show they do gets sold out. It happens to lesser known bands like Kalmah. Been listening to them for fifteen years, their first Los Angeles concert was in April. Sold out in like a fucking day. Luckily they came back to California and I would've missed them again since they sold out LA again on the twenty ninth. Luckily, I got tickets to see them in San Diego and drove almost a hundred miles to enjoy their first concert in San Diego. The moral of my story is that all concerts take a bit of effort to attend. That is, unless you're like my mom who won tickets to see Slayer and a few other bands during the 80's. I have no idea what radio station she called into, but she got free tickets to the show that night over thirty years ago. Meanwhile, I never got to see them live. Life is funny like that.
That last look Tom had in his face at 12:00 as if he was reflecting the last 34 years of shredding and realizing this is really it, it’s incredible to ever think they will one day be done. Hopefully we get another album someday.
Yeah prob for venue screens, but maybe the did a documentary or movie for the last tour or some sort of video that’s gonna come out 🤷🏻♂️ but it’s slayer so maybe not
Most of it was for the video screens but they also were recording a documentary type thing... A very proffesional camera setup was going through the crowd on the first night interviewing fans... so that will be a something somewhere... unless it was just for the band to watch. Pretty cool either way.
it always amazed me how they kept playing at the same level as in the 80s, except for the drums of course since they kicked Lombardo out, Araya's screams are unbelievable, compare a 1986 Angel of Death to this and be blown away
@@patientmental875 not really you must watch shows that have the same setlist. If you count the god hate us all tour and all of that then you wouldn't say that
I was there for both nights First night was amazing in every way! The second show; the final Was such an emotional rollercoaster Long live the almighty SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYER ❤️
Slayer is the reason I picked up a guitar and I can't believe how my life and love for music would look like today without them. Thank you Slayer happy retirement!
A man that totally gets what is important. Took 10 minutes to absorb the moment and appreciate the crowd and what he accomplished. All in any long career in any field can learn a lot from how Tom handled this last 15 minutes.
That was a hard part to see when they came to my city. I've read that he's wanted to retire for some time but I imagine it's something remarkable to leave behind.
I spent years caught in the hellhole of drug addiction, unable to afford concert tickets because all my money went to dope. I am SO, SO SO very grateful I got clean in time to see Slayer not once, but three times before they retired. Thanks for this vid. Kinda brought me some closure, and got me all choked up, god damnit!
@@Charles_Anthony Me too. I remember they were playing a bar in New Haven, CT and my bud tried to get tickets. Sold out in minutes. Reign In Blood tour.
Saw them in the ‘80’s, saw them recently this summer in Pittsburgh. I will miss them but thank the dark side we have their albums, TH-cam, videos etc!! Long live the best HEAVY metal band ever!!
I got lucky to see them live in 2012. They absolutely kicked ass and didn't even disappoint. Watching this made me realize how much Tom was taking in that the time had ended. You can hear how much he appreciates his fans. This band made my childhood and teens absolutely kick ass. Thank you Slayer for the badass music. Happy retirement
Just discovered and really indulged into slayers music a few months ago, I'm having a hard time coming to terms with knowing I'll never be able to see them live. Legends 🤘
I was there, cried like a damn baby not gonna lie. Very hard seeing a band you grew up with retiring. Kerry dropping the chains on stage was what broke me the most apart from Tom's goodbye and staring at the crowd
Got emotional... In my bedroom got a Slayer banner saying 'Soundtrack to the apocalypse'. Well I now feel it's appropriate. Greatest thrashband ever! Period. Will miss you guys playing live!!!
This one is for my buddy LT, the biggest Slayer fan I've ever known, and had Slayer tattooed on his arm. In 1986 we slept in his truck in below freezing Denver weather to get front row in a tiny venue the following night. We met all the original members that day and got autographs. Sadly, LT took his own life on December 1, just two days ago and just one day following Slayer's last show. I'm devastated but will always cherish the good times we shared because of music. RIP brother.
@@mitchvechart7164 It'll depend on his financial situation I guess. It's why Motley Crue are back together despite Vince Neil sounding like a cat being castrated nowadays.
Well Kerry King himself thinks the retirement thing is bullshit. So his hats in the ring. I can't remember which article it was from? But it's out there and it's recent
Honestly, why couldn't it have been Metallica? They're overrated and they sold out the fans a long time ago but Slayer has never changed. Always at the top of their game and always giving the fans the best show at every show! I hope they have the best of times in their retirement and if they do ever come back, they'll still be #1 to all of us!!! It won't be a novelty reunion, it will be Slayer, raining blood like they never left!!!!
Expect slayer did chanage their sound to fit in with nu metal they admitted as such meanwhile metalica just wanted to change their sound out of fear of becoming stale
Even if you don't listen to them, the sad realization of time pushing a generation, that I myself grew up with, to the end is so tough to deal with. Thank you Slayer for relieving the pain and anguish that we endured and bringing the heavy metal to our hometowns.
You're so lucky. Definitely one of the best bands to start your concert going career seeing. Never got to see them live, but it was never meant to be I suppose. R.I.P SLAYER!
Bro, I was there too, my first time seeing them and last time at the same time, it was fucking nuts, had to go all the way from Mexico to Los Angeles just to see them. Worth every peny
I saw the Springfield show on November 8th. It was the best sounding and most entertaining concert I’ve ever been to! If they do a reunion tour, there is no way in hell that I’ll miss that. SLAYER!!!
This is really heartbreaking. I was really hoping that one day I am going to see you guys live when I was a kid but yeah, unfortunately, I will never. Thank you SLAYER for your songs and everything. Hail SLAYER................LOVE YOU GUYS!
Gutted they're retiring or the main 2 original members! Still sound incredible and like they were over 30 years ago! Thier Download show this year was incredible as always. Legends 🤘
Thank you Slayer, thank you for everything...You've been here for me in good and bad times, when I was sad, mad, depressed, drunk, sober, happy..at every occasion! 35 years of aggression are behind us! No longer at shows, just in our hearts and trough our speakers! SLAYEEEEEEEARGH!!! \m/
I'm crying. I have three favorite artists of all time and this video showed one of those artists' last concert. I love you Slayer. Thanks for everything.
MSG was my first venue when I saw them. A Roseland Ballroom show landed on the date of my birthday and I shook hands with them before they took the stage. Jeff was with them at the time. I'll always treasure that experience. Irving Plaza was nuts, couldn't believe we all squeezed in there. Thank you for all the memories. \m/.
I am not crying. Okay I am, but it the fact I never got to see these guys live at all and I really wanted too. Well we will have amazing albums to remeber them by.
I saw them in Spokane the week before this concert. They did the same thing, showed gratitude to the fans. I flew 2k miles , my last chance to see them and it was epic. Hail
I was there. First show I'd been to where NO one was leaving until the band finally walked off stage.

@Warm Soft Kitty People who make devilish music but are still Christians at the end of the day.

Been listening to them for fifteen years, their first Los Angeles concert was in April. Sold out in like a fucking day. Luckily they came back to California and I would've missed them again since they sold out LA again on the twenty ninth. Luckily, I got tickets to see them in San Diego and drove almost a hundred miles to enjoy their first concert in San Diego.
The moral of my story is that all concerts take a bit of effort to attend. That is, unless you're like my mom who won tickets to see Slayer and a few other bands during the 80's. I have no idea what radio station she called into, but she got free tickets to the show that night over thirty years ago. Meanwhile, I never got to see them live. Life is funny like that.
I've seen them 11 times.
That last look Tom had in his face at 12:00 as if he was reflecting the last 34 years of shredding and realizing this is really it, it’s incredible to ever think they will one day be done. Hopefully we get another album someday.
We all should raise our heads and fists towards the sky and have a moment of SLAAAAAAAYEEEEEEERRRRRRRR
I see a lot of cinema-style cameras all around. This is definitely going on blu-ray some time down the line.
SteelSkin667 no, it was for the video screens. It wasnt professionally filmed
Yeah prob for venue screens, but maybe the did a documentary or movie for the last tour or some sort of video that’s gonna come out 🤷🏻♂️ but it’s slayer so maybe not
Most of it was for the video screens but they also were recording a documentary type thing... A very proffesional camera setup was going through the crowd on the first night interviewing fans... so that will be a something somewhere... unless it was just for the band to watch. Pretty cool either way.
it always amazed me how they kept playing at the same level as in the 80s, except for the drums of course since they kicked Lombardo out, Araya's screams are unbelievable, compare a 1986 Angel of Death to this and be blown away
They have been playing the same songs live for 30 years
@@patientmental875 it's a shame the set list hasn't been very varied trough the years but the quality of Tom's voice is astonishing
No. I disagree strongly. I saw 'em in 91/92 when they were gods.
Saw 'em again around 2005 and they sucked, they really did. It was awful.
@@patientmental875 not really you must watch shows that have the same setlist. If you count the god hate us all tour and all of that then you wouldn't say that
@Gop it seems that you're the one who lacks ears, kid
I was there for both nights
First night was amazing in every way!
The second show; the final
Was such an emotional rollercoaster
Long live the almighty SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYER ❤️
Slayer is the reason I picked up a guitar and I can't believe how my life and love for music would look like today without them. Thank you Slayer happy retirement!
A man that totally gets what is important. Took 10 minutes to absorb the moment and appreciate the crowd and what he accomplished.
All in any long career in any field can learn a lot from how Tom handled this last 15 minutes.
Tom is so humble and truly grateful. I’ve always admired him for that. “Thank you for being a part of my life”
Its so amazing to hear Tom Araya's voice doesn't fade..still feels like I am listening/watching way back 90s..
I saw another video where Tom is just soaking it all in at the end of the show. I can really see that he is going to miss it all.
That was a hard part to see when they came to my city. I've read that he's wanted to retire for some time but I imagine it's something remarkable to leave behind.
He did that every night on this tour basically.
@@keefriff99 : Can you blame him?
He cried walking off the stage when I saw them
In Asheville he made direct eye contact with my younger brother when I picked him up on my shoulders. He said he got chills when it happened
Where women cried:
OMG, my boyfriend broke up with me 😭😭😭
Where men cried:
14:50
12:23
Nahh this is where demons cry bloody tears
Women*
Men*
stupid comment
I feel sadness, big thanks to guys for all life long soundtrack...
L.A. Where it started and ended. Thank you slayer.
Thanks for the upload. You recorded a historical moment in Thrash history for us. The crowd should have been shouting "See You Next Year!".
I spent years caught in the hellhole of drug addiction, unable to afford concert tickets because all my money went to dope. I am SO, SO SO very grateful I got clean in time to see Slayer not once, but three times before they retired. Thanks for this vid. Kinda brought me some closure, and got me all choked up, god damnit!
I’m not crying, my eyes are just sweaty
Thank you Tom, Kerry, Jeff, Dave, Gary, and Paul. You were and are such a large part of my life. Love you guys.
Never got 2 see em live but they changed my life
Same. I really wanted to see them live too, but they sold out the shows so fast. Was unbelievable.
Yeah
@@Charles_Anthony Me too. I remember they were playing a bar in New Haven, CT and my bud tried to get tickets. Sold out in minutes. Reign In Blood tour.
Same...I've seen alot of great bands but Slayer slipped through my fingers...
Who the heck would down vote this?? Why?? This is heartfelt and fantastic. Slayer, and metal, forever!
Wow! Just Wow! Thank you so much for uploading this. Quite emotional and I wasn't expecting that.
You can notice that a Tom, REALLY cares about the fans. The only one.
An iconic metal band, the best live show I ever seen and that will continue to inspire new generations. 🤘
Saw them in the ‘80’s, saw them recently this summer in Pittsburgh. I will miss them but thank the dark side we have their albums, TH-cam, videos etc!! Long live the best HEAVY metal band ever!!
12:20 when you realize its really over.... Thanks for the upload!
I was shocked about that gesture.... How difficult could it be just to finish on top? Damn...
I got lucky to see them live in 2012. They absolutely kicked ass and didn't even disappoint. Watching this made me realize how much Tom was taking in that the time had ended. You can hear how much he appreciates his fans. This band made my childhood and teens absolutely kick ass. Thank you Slayer for the badass music. Happy retirement
This band made me who I am today, 25 years of Slayer. Thank you for the memories, the passion, the music and the greatest band of all time.
Just discovered and really indulged into slayers music a few months ago, I'm having a hard time coming to terms with knowing I'll never be able to see them live. Legends 🤘
i have seen SLAYER 5 times in my life all with Hanneman...... farewell my friends
I'm 16, only got to see them live twice but both shows totally rocked
Thank you Slayer. You were part of my youth and will continue to do so during old age.
I was there, cried like a damn baby not gonna lie. Very hard seeing a band you grew up with retiring. Kerry dropping the chains on stage was what broke me the most apart from Tom's goodbye and staring at the crowd
I was fortunate enough to see this. At the end the someone in the pit was chopping onions and the whole crowd hugged it out afterwards
Got emotional... In my bedroom got a Slayer banner saying 'Soundtrack to the apocalypse'. Well I now feel it's appropriate. Greatest thrashband ever! Period. Will miss you guys playing live!!!
This one is for my buddy LT, the biggest Slayer fan I've ever known, and had Slayer tattooed on his arm. In 1986 we slept in his truck in below freezing Denver weather to get front row in a tiny venue the following night. We met all the original members that day and got autographs. Sadly, LT took his own life on December 1, just two days ago and just one day following Slayer's last show. I'm devastated but will always cherish the good times we shared because of music. RIP brother.
12:24 Kerry finally got to get rid of all those keys to the tour bus.
The biggest lie a Rock/Metal band will ever tell you
"This is our farewell tour"
Can't wait to see them again in 3 years!
2 more years to go!
I think they’re DONE done to be honest. I think Tom’s just happy to be spending more time with his family.
@@mitchvechart7164 It'll depend on his financial situation I guess.
It's why Motley Crue are back together despite Vince Neil sounding like a cat being castrated nowadays.
@@mitchvechart7164 They WILL be back.
Well Kerry King himself thinks the retirement thing is bullshit. So his hats in the ring. I can't remember which article it was from? But it's out there and it's recent
I'm not a true fan of slayer, but damn, I'm holding my tears, I feel genuine love for them.
Honestly, why couldn't it have been Metallica? They're overrated and they sold out the fans a long time ago but Slayer has never changed. Always at the top of their game and always giving the fans the best show at every show! I hope they have the best of times in their retirement and if they do ever come back, they'll still be #1 to all of us!!! It won't be a novelty reunion, it will be Slayer, raining blood like they never left!!!!
Hardwired gives me hope
@@firk_figgler Metallica concerts are still pretty good, the crowds just suck
Expect slayer did chanage their sound to fit in with nu metal they admitted as such meanwhile metalica just wanted to change their sound out of fear of becoming stale
Metallica is going to ensure that they are the last of the big four to retire.
Even if you don't listen to them, the sad realization of time pushing a generation, that I myself grew up with, to the end is so tough to deal with. Thank you Slayer for relieving the pain and anguish that we endured and bringing the heavy metal to our hometowns.
I was There at the November 29th show it was my first metal concert they are one of my favorite bands of all time
I hope you had a great time dude
You're so lucky. Definitely one of the best bands to start your concert going career seeing. Never got to see them live, but it was never meant to be I suppose.
R.I.P SLAYER!
Bro, I was there too, my first time seeing them and last time at the same time, it was fucking nuts, had to go all the way from Mexico to Los Angeles just to see them. Worth every peny
14:32 security - “he’s going to cry” ofc Tom wants to cry last show ever dude. And then he tell people to get out of here c’mon man
Love how Kerry dropped the chain. 12:23
Still can’t believe I was able to catch them in May when they came through kc. Such a fantastic show with behemoth, Amon amarth, and LoG
Tom: a class act to the very end. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I saw the Springfield show on November 8th. It was the best sounding and most entertaining concert I’ve ever been to! If they do a reunion tour, there is no way in hell that I’ll miss that. SLAYER!!!
20/09/2013, São Paulo, Brasil!
Eu vi esses caras tocarem aovivo. Um dos melhores dias da minha vida. Obrigado Slayer.
This is really heartbreaking. I was really hoping that one day I am going to see you guys live when I was a kid but yeah, unfortunately, I will never. Thank you SLAYER for your songs and everything. Hail SLAYER................LOVE YOU GUYS!
Gutted they're retiring or the main 2 original members! Still sound incredible and like they were over 30 years ago! Thier Download show this year was incredible as always. Legends 🤘
Thank you Slayer, thank you for everything...You've been here for me in good and bad times, when I was sad, mad, depressed, drunk, sober, happy..at every occasion! 35 years of aggression are behind us! No longer at shows, just in our hearts and trough our speakers! SLAYEEEEEEEARGH!!! \m/
I'm crying. I have three favorite artists of all time and this video showed one of those artists' last concert. I love you Slayer. Thanks for everything.
I'm so glad that i got to see them in an concert back in the days, they are still one of my favorite bands :)
Me too..especially when Jeff and Dave were around.
Tom: One more?
Crowd: YEAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
Tom: Picture
Crowd: -_-
Holy shit... Thats so sad..
Thank you for EVERYTHING!
#GODLISTENSTOSLAYER
@Jesus Christ its okay, my son...I forgive you
@Jesus Christ no. I forgive you.
The first time that Tom's not smiling and lighting up the world with his smile.
Thx Slayer
MSG was my first venue when I saw them. A Roseland Ballroom show landed on the date of my birthday and I shook hands with them before they took the stage. Jeff was with them at the time. I'll always treasure that experience. Irving Plaza was nuts, couldn't believe we all squeezed in there. Thank you for all the memories. \m/.
Thank you sharing this for us to Europe. Im very happy when saw them 3 times in Finland. Thank you Slayer, music never die.
You got to see them three times? That's pretty badass!
There's going out on top, then there's THIS! I hope the cameras were filming the whole show for a DVD. Thank you, Slayer.
I am not crying. Okay I am, but it the fact I never got to see these guys live at all and I really wanted too. Well we will have amazing albums to remeber them by.
I saw them in Spokane the week before this concert. They did the same thing, showed gratitude to the fans. I flew 2k miles , my last chance to see them and it was epic. Hail
