"I've had scag, I've had speed. I've jacked up until I bleed."
Is It Really Live?
Yeah. I haven't heard any discussion about studio fakery so I assume it's pretty legit
Is It Official?
Yes. Good ol' Rick Rubin.
Where was it recorded?
Disc 1 - All songs recorded at the Lakeland Coliseum in Lakeland, Florida on July 13, 1991
Disc 2 - Tracks 3-6 and 8-10 recorded at the Orange Pavilion, San Bernardino, California, March 8, 1991.
Tracks 1, 2 and 7 recorded at the Wembley Arena, London, England, October 14, 1990.
What Are The Details?
Cool double CD retrospective of Slayer's career, which features many of the tracks from the "Show No Mercy/Haunting The Chapel," which previously appeared on the "Live Undead," record.
It's cool to hear the old tunes mixed in with the new stuff, played by a band that's now a bona fide legend instead of young upstarts, playing for some wasted friends.
Included are all good tracks from all the good albums, up to and including, "Seasons In The Abyss," with no crap, which is nice. It captures Slayer at the height of their powers as the foremost purveyors of tight, brutal thrash.
I could quibble slightly on the set list ( "Piece By Piece," for a little "modulistic terror," would have been nice. Their cover of Priest's "Dissident Aggressor," would have been great too, but I'm getting greedy.)
This album should satisfy anyone's live Slayer craving.
