Picking up a couple of live bootlegs during the year just seems inevitable at this point. Every once in a while I'll get an itch and start looking around to see what I can find. To be honest, I've had this Exodus live boot for a while now... I actually picked it up back when I bought my last Maiden boot... but I've just had other records that I wanted/needed to get up on the blog first. Time to finally get it up here.
Recorded live at the L'Amour in New York at the end of '85, this live bootleg sounds surprisingly good. Part of the reason that I waited so long to listen and post this here is that I expected it to sound really rough. I didn't even know that live boots from the 80's could be this nice. I'm impressed. The band rip through thier set of classic Exodus tunes, including some cool early unreleased songs like Hell's Breath and Death Row... and was probably one of their last shows with Baloff, before bringing in Zetro to replace him.
Of course because this is a bootleg, you know that you can't trust the packaging to be accurate, especially with Baloff pictured on the front, and Zetro in the photo on the back.
Number 150 out of 333 that were pressed on blue and black vinyl.
