SLAYER The first filmed show ever! 28-March-1983 Anaheim, USA. Full Concert 

SHEEEEEIIIITT!!! You know it!

Jajajaja

RustyAngel i was thinking the same thing lol motionless crowd

BFFB WHAT A SHOW!

Thats right! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

Hahahhahahha

Twisted sister is fucking awasome

Here was I thinking about what would the band they´re opening to? the crowd seems not to understand a bit of what´s going on...

I saw TwistedSister , LitaFord , Y&T 84 HollywoodPalladium Way Better crowd

😂😂😂😂

The flux capacitor is on O'Reilly's auto parts website!! (as a joke, of course!) If I remember correctly, they had the wrong number for the amount of gigawatts! 😂 They may have corrected that though.

Start the pit early!

Take us too!

And I will mosh like hell

Well, we all could’ve attended this show. Only 10 people did back then 😂 I’ve seen them 4 times between 95 and 2019. I was lucky to be able to watch their last show in Holland 🤘🏻👊🏻

☹️

Dammnnn

Woah cooool!!!!😮

Lucky!

Hahaha!! Great story! How many people have similar stories about guys that weren't Dave Lombardo? Probably lots more lol! Was he good at running in place?

shadapakap Ha ha ha ha ha they don’t even know what they are witnessing!!

Imagine they made a set like that ppl would let them fucking neck bones on stage.

Crowd? Yeah all 12 of them..lol!!

I was there and SLAYER was the opening band for Bitch,I never heard of either one of these bands at the time !!! ;-) I have it on video DVD now!!!

@Marcelo Gagliano agree

That's right, Jeff and you guys always kicked some major ass - And you still do, My Brother! Thrash Til Death!

+Jeff Becerra Long time fan my man Possessed were the shit. Hope you are well Metal Brother. I know i aint nobody but love the music. You guys were in high school creating some great Metal!

haha holy shit a memeber of one of my favorite bands commenting on another one of my fav bands videos....thanks for the rad music HAILS POSSESED AND SLAYER.....and gary holt!

+Jeff Becerra My brother still has his original copy of "Seven Churches" on vinyl. EPIC.

+Ozzy TYSON I believe that Seven Churches is the one I have on cassette lol. I have one maybe more I'm not sure. I collected many things back then have several hundred from Cancer and Atheist to modern day heavy metal.

He said it so...nice LOL!

@@SteveBello and clam then slayer comes out and kills it!!

Like he was introducing Milton Berle or something. 😂

With special guest, Wayne Newton.

We had Venom and the Bad brains.

SLAYER 4 LIFE

There was incredibly heavy stuff if you knew where to look but I can’t imagine what witnessing this in 83 would’ve been like, jealous, very jealous

Not even close. 😂🤣 Born and raised in O.C. Still live here even though it's a shit show now but anyways, I was 13 and listening to Black Flag back then. 1000X heavier. In comparison this was glam rock.

@@surferdude8086 Black flag😂🤣

I know man

VHS actually had pretty good bass response

Funny thing is that 1000$ cell phones in 2017 is inferior to VHS recording in 1980's.

& bonus: it's not a vertical video!

Shot on iPhone -10

Sometimes that is a very productive age when it comes to aggressive music like this! All full of ideas and passion and to a point not caring about what others will say! \m/

It's easier to be hardcore and fast when you're young. Trust me. I'm not young anymore. Einstein was young when he blew the world open with relativity. So was Hawking with the black hole stuff. Hendrix, Joplin, Kobain, Morrison, etc. System of a Down's first two albums. U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday. NIN at Woodstock 1994. Jaedong, Bisu, and Flash were young when they revolutionized Starcraft. George Lucas before the bullshit in the 90s. The guys who stormed the beaches at Normandy. The Lost Generation of the First World War. ISIS recruits. All young as fuck. But at least the Beatles got more hardcore as they matured.

@@lafeeshmeister haha lol

Love you guys

@Roque Ortiz Odd, the drinking age was 18 at that time. I graduated high school in '84 and I could drink at that time as an 18 year old.

Haha, could you really tell that by this fotage? Man, what screen are you using?

​@@Emilio-Estebanhas never been to a concert before..

I always moved freely in slayer pits. 💪🏽

@Sepher Agon slam dancing? Is that what when they swing their arms like they're throwing a fit at a metalcore concert?

looks like kery had more amount of hair then jeff here haha

bcparkerjr × they must have thought it was going to be a nite of regular glam rock 80's style. they have no idea. The two in the front get it.

Haha! Yes those two in the front 🤘🤘🤘

I've had the same thought as you, I couldn't say it better.

or maybe they ain't seen/heard anything like it. like @37:25

This is exactly the reason why. Who was really out at this point that was heavy? Venom...Motorhead....Metallica....not too many more.

+decadepast decadepast man you ain't kidding.

True, but you can do that with basement shows or something like that.

Larry Camarillo I still go to basement shows and have played quite a few. Concrete walls are hell on the ears, though.

And there weren't phones all over the place

@@Miloman5599 Phones have replaced lighters at shows. I'm serious, I went to one not too long ago where everyone whipped out their phones and raised them in the air, much like people used to use lighters at shows. It was kinda weird, especially since most people who did that already had their phones out.

666MINDSLAYER Tell me about it! Saw them for the 1st time in 86' at the Ritz in NYC. Was 16. Thanks for the Video!! 🤘🏼

666MINDSLAYER I wish I was born in like 1967. I would've been like 14 but i'm really 8 years old but I saw slayer in may

I bet I could throw this football over that mountain.....

I love megadeth and dave but i saw Metallica n 83 when i was 17 open for rraven just saw raven again in 2019 saw Metallica. Right after dave saw megadeth in 85 and Slayer in 85 and someone ask me which band was best live of the 3 and it slayer but all 3 shows are still in my dna

@@toddmitchell6362 "still in my DNA". Awesome comment!

No doubt my friend 👍

50 Helens would agree...

I saw him in 2008 Moscow show. I scream so hard "Lombardo is the best", so he point on me. I will never agree another opinion. David Lombardo is and will be best drumer in the world

@@user-pg7sq3xg2uBest Drummer in the World? Ehm. No.

Best metal drummer absolutely, best drummer ever Neil Peart, best living drummer Danny Carey.

Alexander Cravero ya thats embarrassing along the lights.

Everyone was headbanging so hard back in the 80's when they listened to Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, Exodus, Iron Maiden and a lot more metal artists like them!

Judas

...Replying to a year old comment but yeah, i was thinking the same....and they were right, Slayer did good and become Huge🤘👍...

Os caras já nasceram pro sucesso. O primeiro album é muito bom. Show no Mercy, um classico

you can tell how slayer was going to be one of the greatest . From a crowd of 50 to 50k . Legends

About 12 minutes in a couple dudes at the stage start... head bang ing. Couldn't avoid it, seminal Slayer possession

*MELHOR BANDA DE THRASH METAL DO MUNDO* 🇧🇷⚰️

The first pit was formed at a early Slayer show. I think.

Then why include the 2019??

@@kingtaco4064 I’m pretty sure you know why kid, it only took 3 years to get a reply as stupid as that one lol.🗿

@@AncientMorbidity1991 I said that cus you said legends never die yet dated a year at which they ended, while I see where your coming from like you probably mean they will go down in history because they definitely will in the metal world

FUCK YEA!!!

This josue portillo sickblood gore then now tomorrow forever hail Satan slayer forever

Blitzkrieg nunca la tocan......es the final commnad.....saludos desde Chile

Before the song starts Tom says this song is called Blitzkrieg, they later changed the title to The final Command

@jokerisaac41 Thanks for the set list!🤘🏻

I'm glad they lost that cheesy intro though!

as Tormentor! both are awasome thrash songs with much influence of NWOBHM

​@@dvdrtrgnit s actually a really good intro

they ar elike.. what the hell is this.. .. and now.. they are.. what the hell .... i love thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss watch out.. infamous .. angel of death.. manager of the kingdom of the dead.......... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kids.. go to ur bed.. !!!

Actually, I counted twenty-one at one point.

They sound practically like Power Metal of that era during many of these songs.

@@blackwrits maiden fans them😁\m/.Tom fucking rules like di anno with bass!funny him play jazzbass!😆

This and Hell Awaits are the only albums where Tom actually does some good quality singing. Even his bass playing was better.

​@@russkate88HA bass sound is amazing

dude your videos rock

SeventhYearSenior Thanks

***** i saw a picture of the ticket from that show but i'm not sure if it was legit or not... because it said may 28th '83 playing with august redmoon and savage grace???

m169marroquin Great point man, that is how it is, even to this day. All the bands they opened for were watching from the bar like, "fuuuuuckkk", these guys are goood!" When then were no name's, just a band from SoCal, thrashing hard and playing tight. Tightness is a well respected talent developed through consistent blood, sweat, whiskey and rigorous hours of practicing, while balancing your own personal life (work, relationships, and substance abuse). Very beautiful. In the right cities and scenes this "true"art, true passion, real people, and fucking amazing musicianship and showmanship, STILL exists... And it is all in front of your eyes haha

Jeffrey Martinez Those are some phil anselmo words of wisdom there.

Where was this theatre?

Slayer has been performing for 1 year already at this point.

***** YES

Bad to the fuckin bone.....wow...very impressive

Abittoir was badass. I saw them a few times at Woodstock and the Country Club. Metalica and Armored Saint ruled OC and LA during those years, hands down!

Tormentor was a totally different song back then. It's interesting

Thanks for the metal. Say hello to Cliff for me. 👍🏻

@@FACTBOT_5000 I will bro.

Hail from malaysia jeff

Yo Jeff, What was the name of that song in the middle with the tapping solo you did?! Also, I put footage of you in my new World Painted Blood cover... thanks for the metal /w\JEFF/w\

@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Oh I see. Well it was a filler we didn't have a tittle for this one. Kerry wrote it, but it was not good enough to keep it.

Yes! And the synchronized moves by Jeff and Kerry... very Downing-Tipton style! Awesome! I still think that Stained Class is the most important heavy metal album for the future speed/thrash movement, before the NWOBHM. Combined with the hardcore attitude and speed... there you go!

Iron Maiden too.

@@daridane5603 you may not agree, but alot of people consider Misfits Earth A.D. album as the blueprint for thrash

YA.You mean the gay guitars UP and DOWN thing....

Colostomy Grab-Bag Similarly, I saw the Rush documentary on Netflix and it blew my mind. Such an obvious influence on so much rock music and metal I’d never known of before.

I remember radio city. Went to quite few shows there. That takes me way way way back to when my mom would drop us off and pick us up.

There was also Fenders in Long Beach. Dancing Waters in San Pedro.

@Sepher Agon he meant di'anno era maiden obviously. the first slayer album is like 50% slayer and 50% iron maiden

@@manfrombritain6816 Venom, Priest...

not true at all. you can only imagine but i was there.

THEY WERE AHEAD OF THERE TIME !!!

nope ..we knew

I knew exactly what was going on. Was into them before this show

We weren't shocked or scared of the music, it was new and exciting. What I was scared of was the audience members at certain shows like that then (not the show above, that is tame, nothing happening, very weird). But at bigger shows the crowd could be pretty wild and rough, morons picking fights while drunk high with little to no security to stop them

Yeah, the verse riff especially sounds heavy... at least bits of it were used in Show no Mercy and Altar of Sacrifice

​@@effiemars_They literally dismembered the song, to put parts in some songs

Ray Garza Not their first show. The first show filmed.

Gene Hoglan was your light technic at the first years.

+MrLowprofile13  Well, it's 1983. The mosh pit actually may not have been invented yet ?

It's 1983 dude...

+666MINDSLAYER Eh... Yes it was. Look at the shows with any good punk(hardcore) band.

+Dry Bokes yea because we're going to actually take the time to do that to prove your point... Fuck outta here lol

BeastOf Bodom But you took the time to reply to a comment not aimed at you within 5 minutes of it being posted. What a loser. You will probably take the time to comment again as well. Ha ha beast of bottom more like.

Yes indeed

Rick Rozz , I bang my head in respect. Rest In Peace Jeff Hanneman. You WILL live on in our hearts!!!!!

5ar wtf

@@5ar_ Does that turn u on? Don't hold back, let it all out!

@@5ar_ What a douchebag comment! You need psychiatric help!

I would put him on the greatest guitarist's list ever! We will never forget you Jeff!!!!

It's not their first show.

Lucky you saw them live I discovered then last February in 2020 my first song from them was he'll awaits

And now they are coming back for at least two more shows

LOOOOOOL !!!!

LOL

Slayer is on the radio?

LOL!

it's 15 ^^

Its because they weren't even popular. When they were touring reign in blood and south of heaven thats when more people started to show up

июль 2019 457000 просмотров. I*m from Russia

Hollywood Paladium, awesome show. I still remember feeling the heat from the lightbulbs that formed the upside-down crosses. I've Also been to the Tropicana to watch the fine sport of female mud wrestling-fine athletes they were.

Salad! 😂

Now all those clubs are gone. Sad.

They were so far ahead of their time that their first release was on a metal compilation album. Metal was around for about 20 years before bands like Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth hit the scene.

Same here! It's a fuckin ride

Totally Wrong! This only shows the greatness of Slayer! Nothing to do with any other bands.

@@cezartorescu uh huh. the guys in slayer didnt listen to ANY music AT ALL and were not fans of ANY other bands EVER.

Raven Lightwalker Tonight’s show: FUCKING SLAYERRRRR

I went to see Slayer in May and everyone was screaming its F'ING SLAYERRRRRRRRRR

They definetely knew what was coming

@Raven Lightwalker FUCKIN' SLAYER!!

“Ladies and gentleman, Slayer 🧍🏻‍♂️” LOL NOOOO, those mfs didn’t know what slayer were all about, and it’s obvious lmao

Or Keel...

There are a lot more fools than just the one guy whoee thinking that. Probably even a preacher's son in the audience shaking his head in SHOCK, thinking... "BLASPHEMERS!". Then, walked out... - Haha! 🔥👹⚔️😈🔥

hahaha Helix .. i have that record!

I just hurt my throat laughing!

"Oh come on now, gimme an R? I'LL GIVE YOU A FACKIN R!!!!"

of course.

That’s brutal!! Best era for Slayer. First album is always gonna be my favorite. I’ll never forget I was in 5th grade and summer came. I got Show No Mercy and my life was never the same and neither was anybody religious around me either lol

Hey man, I'm an old metal head. What the fuck is NWOBHM? MAYBE I'M JUST FUCKIN DRUNK AND FIXING TO FUCK MY CHIC. I DON'T KNOW MAN

Erasmo Ganceres NWOBHM: New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.

I was expecting a Blitzkrieg Bop cover.

If yhey keep at it stay off drugs they just might.

Definitely. And if you notice every single person's eyes are glued on the stage.

DeltaOracle257 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

Dorks.

This comment feels retro in 2020.

@@gothcaillou Great, I feel old now. lol

2 guys in the crowd were getting it. A bunch of people had their arms crossed. I would have been going crazy!

always gotta be that one guy who doesn't understand jokes....

*****'yous guys ares dildos'... LOL!??:p...@msbtrock?...N/M

As a real Slayer fan, I don't give a fuck! On and on south of heaven!!!!

***** I hear ya brother...same side of fense!!

Maybe, this was just a dry crowd. The mosh pit was prevalent in the late 70s with the punk scene, and Bad Brains had popularized and encouraged it in 1981, when lead singer H.R. had demanded the crowd to “mash”, pronounced mosh because of his Jamaican accent being misunderstood by fans.

Was it the Green Jeep Wagoneer from the beer run scene in Cliff'Em All?

@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS It was pre- Cliff.

@@RNicolasRuvalcaba Oh wow! Ron McGovney posts on YT in his own name bro!

well thank God they grew up and got out of the demonic and demon feel.....

They tried to still keep their evilness in the 90's but the 5 albums from the 80's wipe the floor with anything after imo. I've always thought South of Heaven destroyed Seasons. Hell Awaits and Haunting the Chapel is where they managed to really capture something that sounds like it came from the abyss.

I met the band's orthopedic. They all had severe stenosis and arthritis by the end of the 80's.

@Sepher Agon are you trying to make me sad because I really do have hemorrhoids. It's not funny. Ok. It's kind of funny.

@Sepher Agon I challenge you to a thumb war. Your curses mean nothing, whimpy villain. I shall see you on the battle court.

@Sepher Agon in the land of zork of the fire giants I shall pick up travel with my band of druids and wraiths. I will not tarry. There will be much blood. Oh, by the thundering rock of Manowar, we will prepare our hearts for courage. Be afraid, little Sepher for you know not what you have agreed upon.

@Sepher Agon ok. You did get me there. I’m going to the basement to join a campaign on Against the Giants 1-3. We’re gonna crank up some Metal Church in this piece and smoke drugs. You know the secret knock.

John Cole I went to see them at Houston Open Air. They played a hell of a set! Too bad most of the bands didn't get to play. Also saw them in Austin with Anthrax and Death Angel. Got my tickets to see them in Austin again with Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth and Testament!

Was at that show. Started listening in '85 and still the all time crusher

John Cole I will probably never see them live...

Tim Moore I saw that same tour at the Hollywood Palladium... to this day, the most epic thrash show ever!! The pit was insane!!

I saw that tour in Cleveland OH
