Back to more live Slayer. This claims to be the first show ever filmed, March 3, 1983 — even before “Show No Mercy” came out.

Note there’s one song about half-way through that Tom introduces as “Blitzkrieg”. Looks like they kept the song but changed the name to “Final Command”.

It’s also really strange to see Slayer playing to a dead crowd and almost empty theater. 🙂

Live footage of Slayer continues, with the 1985 Hell Awaits tour:
