This is Roots Of Heavy Metal post #1
The info text included with the bootleg when I received it stated that Ruthie's Inn was in Sn Francisco California. Thanks go out to Draftervoi and The L-RV for giving me the correct info. Ruthie's Inn was located in Berkley, California. Please update the info text included in the download to reflect this new info.
Slayer had not yet released their break through album Reign In Blood when this recording was made. As a matter of fact they had only just released their EP Haunting The Chapel. This recording has the first ever live performance of "Necrophiliac", which would be included on Slayer's second LP Hell Awaits. The other cool thing about this Slayer show is the inclusion of "Chrionics" in the set list. This song was rarely played live as Tom Araya states in the songs intro. To have a soundboard quality recording of this track is a real treat for a Slayer fanatic.

Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, Ruthie's Inn was in Berkeley, CA - not San Francisco - just across the San Francisco Bay / Bay Bridge, down the road from Oakland, CA
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!

Hey, Dave! Ruthie's Inn was actually over on San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, in the East Bay. I never went there, I was working nights as a bartender and they were mainly booking metal bands...I missed out!
ReplyDeleteThanks D-man! Good to see you are still lurking about!

Yeah, it's been a busy summer. I took a drive across the southwest and need to catch up my email!
DeleteHope you had a good time D!
