A shame I was in America and this was the summer before I entered Kindergarten. Otherwise I would have been there. Thank you for posting this on TH-cam, this show is amazing. Been a fan since the 90’s.

Knew him as a kid in the early 80's going to his rock and roll heaven stall in the Route 18 flea market in east Brunswick,NJ. Still got my original 1st pressings of all the old Venom vinyl. Great time to be a teen growing up on the NJ/NY underground scene
I had the tape. I wore that facr out. It is probably one of the greatest metal live albums in know human history, Biggy & 2-Pok the dude, not the Disease, wanted to sing with Cronos, VENOM knew he couldn't handle something this good. WaArRr HEeaAAD!!!
I remember renting this VHS back in the mid 80s.... the first four venom albums are still some of my all time favorites... and this live concert kicks ass. You can all thank Venom for bands such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Kreator, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Voivod etc etc .... In '84 my denim vest had a 'welcome to hell' back patch made from a T shirt \m/
Neep Baffory am firss black metals.... venom sound like bad garage band dat made it like bob dylan am busker thad made it.... and Baffoy haff two albums thad am actual black metals before anyones k juss how ams🐸
@@chriswalshe499 Well...actually Lord Satan Himself invented Black Metal, using Aye Aye (Infernal Intelligence). Btw, His Infernal Majesty is a class act Himself, playing both the French and English horns. ;-)
Saw them in S.F. on the Combat tour with Possessed and Slayer. Ironically Venom's latest album was titled 'Possessed'. Brutal show! I think it was Chronos' first time playing the West Coast--he saw the thrashing and commented 🤘
Je me souviens que d'autres métalleux me demandaient comment je pouvais aimer Venom et Motörhead :-) Si je suis bassiste (et fier de ce choix assumé, et rare à l'époque), c'est que Venom, Lemmy m'avaient prouvés qu'une basse avait toute son utilité dans le métal à l'époque haha (ma fretless me manque)
These guys are all absolute legends of early hardcore metal and the first of many behind them to walk in those footsteps years later. I alway remember his voice as being that harshest out there at the time. Vocals wise absolutely Nobody sounded more brutal at the time ! 🎸🤘🏻. VENOM always kicked a trainload of ass!
@@dungeonslayer4692 Oh man. Hope he is doing well. Was hoping to have met him on the last venom inc tour that came to Portland Maine usa. But he did not do that part of the tour.
Not much musical ability, but they more than make up for it with volume, catchy riffs, pure reckless abandon, and enough black leather to upholster a house's furnishings several times over!
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this song by Venom 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on TH-cam. 😀
@@viktorvonzeist no extreme metal would exist without Venom. Ask any extreme metal musician who came after. I was there when those first Venom albums came out and none of us had ever heard anything like that. It's very hard t understanf if you weren't there. I think it's still powerful music to this day. I always loved raw music, blues, punk, early metal, even jazz that is extremely visceral (not Starbucks type of jazz). Also, FOAD!
following some peaceful thoughts. yes- venom is an institution in metal. but... back in 1984 (i`m almost 6 decades old) i was already thinking about bands like this one: this is supposed to be `hard`, `evil` and `brutal`? maaan, at that time, bands like swans or laibach for instance had already been around for several years, playing reeeally heavy non academic music, not a musically conformist kinda `blues based rock`n`roll (and nothing else is the music of venom actually, similar to kiss, ac/dc or motörhead f.e.) and were far more impressive, heavy and `brutal` in their expression than any metal band at that time. and they didn`t need leather, spikes and makeup to create a deep depressive, irate and oppressive rockshow. the first really innovative metalacts imfo appeared a couple years later (1988) with the bands from the earache/peaceville label generation. most of the previously metal stuff til then was just musically mainstream to me. apart from exceptions of course. for similar reasons, punk died after only one year and became mainstream. corrupted by the music industry. anyway, the combination of standard rock`n`roll in an artificially `evil` cloak had something ridiculous for me back then already. also that circus with destroying equipment by the musicians in a rockshow was already in 1984 a pretty old-fashioned embarrising thing. other well known bands did this more than 20 years earlier. it`s not a question about genres, imo it`s at least about all that kinds of rockmusic with a sort of more or less anti-establishment attitude. an artistic rebelliousness. but i may be wrong about venom in this case...?!? i don`t know... whatever - thnx for this document cheeeerz!
So I’ve been around LONG enough to know that neither one of the bands you mentioned were around before VENOM ….. I purchased Welcome To Hell in December of 1981 which predates SWANS - Venom technology released a demo 16 months prior
I know how important Venom were for most of today's extreme metal. But after having just watched Cradle Of Filth and Behemoth live videos, this is - hate to say it - quaint.

I've had this since 1984....the BEST VHS tape I ever owned! Many thanks for the much improved version. Venom & NWOBHM rules! \m/
Had the same tape...
I still have it on BETA!!🙂
Superb....!!!!!!! The inspiration for many to come....!!!
The world needs more bass solos.
I have one on Flight of The Valkries and one on Blasphemer :)

How much of influence they are in the metal scene. One of the best !
Thanks for enhancing this. I had (stolen at party) the VHS I watched it 100s of times. LOVE every note !
Great gig great band thank you😅😊
Saw them in 85 with Slayer. They were probably the loudest band I've ever saw live.
They always brought pure energy to the stage. Few bands are hotter live than studio. Venom is one of those few.
I don't know wich bands you normaly hear, but I'm into metal since back in '79 and so far, every metal band is live hotter than in studio
@@peterfahrbach5220 I enjoy broadcasting live from the studio, but it's a studio apartment and there's no ac so it gets pretty hot there too.
It was certainly a night to remember, fantastic show
Thanks to Johnny Z for signing them... R.I.P. Z, man, and thank you for all the metal I grew up with in the 80s
Knew him as a kid in the early 80's going to his rock and roll heaven stall in the Route 18 flea market in east Brunswick,NJ. Still got my original 1st pressings of all the old Venom vinyl. Great time to be a teen growing up on the NJ/NY underground scene
Early 80s was listening to Venom at war with Satan. Slayer hell awaits and Reign in Blood good stuff❤
That guitarist - a mixture of vim fuego, and Toey from Scunthorpe! He keeps his morris tight that fella.
I had the tape. I wore that facr out. It is probably one of the greatest metal live albums in know human history, Biggy & 2-Pok the dude, not the Disease, wanted to sing with Cronos, VENOM knew he couldn't handle something this good. WaArRr HEeaAAD!!!
Black Metal as I knew it (and as it was called) back in 84, when I one and twenty was.
I remember renting this VHS back in the mid 80s.... the first four venom albums are still some of my all time favorites... and this live concert kicks ass.
You can all thank Venom for bands such as Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Kreator, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Voivod etc etc ....
In '84 my denim vest had a 'welcome to hell' back patch made from a T shirt \m/
Had this vhs tape since 88, best small concert ever, great video quality..
VENOM are the black metal godz... 🤘 🔥
@Belalrememberthedecisionmuhamm 🐸👍thad am rite Bathory am da father of black metal and firss actual band to haff two album thad am actual black metal🐸
Bathory invented black metal.

@@chriswalshe499 Well...actually Lord Satan Himself invented Black Metal,

Himself, playing both the French and English horns. ;-)
Esta banda es una de las más influyentes e infravaloradas de la historia.Venom, siempre Venom.... gracias por vuestro legado....
Saw them in S.F. on the Combat tour with Possessed and Slayer. Ironically Venom's latest album was titled 'Possessed'. Brutal show! I think it was Chronos' first time playing the West Coast--he saw the thrashing and commented 🤘
Venom, 1er groupe de black métal de l'histoire du métal.... j'étais un ultra fan à l'époque.
I still am.
Je me souviens que d'autres métalleux me demandaient comment je pouvais aimer Venom et Motörhead :-) Si je suis bassiste (et fier de ce choix assumé, et rare à l'époque), c'est que Venom, Lemmy m'avaient prouvés qu'une basse avait toute son utilité dans le métal à l'époque haha (ma fretless me manque)
Friends with Jeff. Such a great dude! Going thru this 2nd heart attack sucks and I'm hoping he gets on the mend soon.
Best wishes to him.
We hope he get well soon!!!!

Best fucking band ever! Hail Venom!
Cool.
Thanks for sharing.
🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Hailllll VENOMMMM !!!🤘🔥😈⛓️🍻🍻❤️BLACK METALLLL 🙌hellllll🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant! He even tried to breat the truss rod! Rooooocccckkkkk and Roooolllll!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I think this performance got them barred from the Odeon. They got back in 1985.
🤟🏻😎🤟🏻🎸
Correct! 😂
Nobody ever did so much with so little .
Hell Hammer, Possessed and on and on. Only a three piece, and very very silly, but metal needed them! - and they answered the call !!!
Going to witness this November in São Paulo \m/
This is the best Countess Bathory I've ever heard
Not much musical ability, but they more than make up for it with volume, catchy riffs, pure reckless abandon, and enough black leather to upholster a house's furnishings several times over!
Cronos,Mantas,Abaddon.....the infernal crew!!!
Legends of Black Metal
are any of their last 10 albums black metal ?
Hahah Venom are not Black Metal, they're Speed Metal/NWOBHM.
Legends of metal
They are. Ignore the 2nd wave Puritans.
@@undisputedattitude2902They're the original black metal, not that Scandinavian crapola! 🤘👹
I was there. Venue was a little too big for Venom!
Excellent quality, thanks!
The all-time greatest noise coming from a three piece!!
Spinal Tap have a lot to answer for... Black Funky Metal!! 😂😂😂
I saw them in Zurich on this tour. Supporting act was rather unknown Metallica...
Number one metal band ever.All other bands are just their pale copies.Headbanging from Bosnia.Samir
Absolute classic. They are tough as when they get sloppy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I had this on VHS. 🤘
These guys suck so much. It's WONDERFUL!
If I'm not mistaken, some crappy garage band named "Metallica" opened for them this gig.
Cool singing countess Bathoryyy then without possibly knowing about the talented Swedish boy yet
A fun gig if memory serves!
i have the remastered DVD from the black metal deluxe issue, and had been thinking of doing my own upscale, and audio remaster! this looks great!
🤘🔥🤘
Legendary
Venom!!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
AMAZING🤘🤘🤘
Pra aproveitar o que o bom e velho rock and roll venon
This is fucking great
Pioneros del black metal
Así fue Venom
So CRONOS & BLACKIE LAWLESS.. Very similar ey !!😛🤘
This is good for spiritual healing.
Long live to black metal
Mantas
Cronos
Abadon
I wonder if this was actually 'live'. I heard they sounded quite bad when they first came out.
Они и здесь плохо звучат. Даже удивительно-три человека, и не слышат друг друга. Бас и барабаны вообще играют разные партии.
Apparently the support act went on to bigger and better things….😉
Venom like Motörhead.. Three members only.
You make more money that way
@@humungushumungus213 That's right.
Love venom.
Great . Thanks !
7:45 now way dude!
😂😂😂
Just f***in great
Great show! Looked like they'd been doing this for years, but had hardly gigged at this time?
They influenced a lot of bands all over the world...
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this song by Venom 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out.

Metal Punk at it's best

VENOM is.....a SNAKE 🐍from ....HELL
No offence but what does "enhanced" audio means ?
That's better than studio vinyl
following some peaceful thoughts.
yes- venom is an institution in metal.
but...
back in 1984 (i`m almost 6 decades old) i was already thinking about bands like this one:
this is supposed to be `hard`, `evil` and `brutal`?
maaan, at that time, bands like swans or laibach for instance had already been around for several years, playing reeeally heavy non academic music,
not a musically conformist kinda `blues based rock`n`roll (and nothing else is the music of venom actually, similar to kiss, ac/dc or motörhead f.e.)
and were far more impressive, heavy and `brutal` in their expression than any metal band at that time.
and they didn`t need leather, spikes and makeup to create a deep depressive, irate and oppressive rockshow.
the first really innovative metalacts imfo appeared a couple years later (1988) with the bands from the earache/peaceville label generation.
most of the previously metal stuff til then was just musically mainstream to me.
apart from exceptions of course.
for similar reasons, punk died after only one year and became mainstream. corrupted by the music industry.
anyway, the combination of standard rock`n`roll in an artificially `evil` cloak had something ridiculous for me back then already.
also that circus with destroying equipment by the musicians in a rockshow was already in 1984 a pretty old-fashioned embarrising thing.
other well known bands did this more than 20 years earlier.
it`s not a question about genres, imo it`s at least about all that kinds of rockmusic with a sort of more or less anti-establishment attitude.
an artistic rebelliousness.
but i may be wrong about venom in this case...?!? i don`t know...
whatever - thnx for this document
cheeeerz!
So I’ve been around LONG enough to know that neither one of the bands you mentioned were around before VENOM ….. I purchased Welcome To Hell in December of 1981 which predates SWANS - Venom technology released a demo 16 months prior

VENOM ARE THE ALMIGHTY GODZ OF ALL UNHOLY BLACK METAL AND CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY VENOM INC!

Didn’t the rock group Metallica play on this tour when they went to that area of the world to record their second album When She Ride my Lightning ?
Pekelné 😡!!!
Too bad they never learned the basics😂
Who's bright idea was it to dress like that?
Satan’s. !!
