Slayer at Cow Palace 8-31-2010
Song: World Painted Blood
I would have liked to get the whole show but limited battery power, lame security stopping me, and the occasion bonehead that thought it was fine to just walk in front of everyone and just stand there and block everyone's view made that impossible.
On this one there was a lot of fog which masks the details a bit. I guess it's cheaper than spraying a fountain of blood for an hour.
The Cow Palace is just like it was back in the 80's. Terrible acoustics, belligerent security, full body pat downs, a few fights on the floor, no water allowed, messed up parking lot and sea sea of guys in black t-shirts with an occasional mid-fourties big breasted rocker chick thrown in. Drunk metal heads pointing in the air and shouting "SLAYER!"...while waiting in line for the bathroom. Air so thick with evaporated sweat you can hardly breath. Oh, the memories.
