Rare Exodus Footage With Paul Baloff - July 23, 1997


Since Exodus recently rolled through town with Arch Enemy (see the photos and concert review here), I thought I'd post a special treat. Here is some rare video footage of Exodus with Paul Baloff (RIP) singing in support of their Another Lesson In Violence album. I shot this video on July 23, 1997 at The Hurricane in Kansas City, Missouri. This is the first time I've released this entirely uncirculated concert, so you won't find this anyplace else! I was standing directly in front of guitarist Gary Holt, so at times the audio from his monitor is predominant. Digital transfer was done directly from the VHS-C master tape. Links to download the audio tracks only (mp3@320 kbps, 124.17 MB) and the individual video files (mov, H.264, 640 x 480) are available in the text file link below. The video files are large (239.26–447.99 MB) to preserve the highest possible quality.

If you'd like to share the download link above, please link to this blog post rather than directly linking the download link to the text file. Thanks!

 
 
 
 






 
UPDATE: I found the flyer for this show in an old box of stuff!!

  1. How about a FLAC version and a DVD version? MP3 and H.264 are lossy.

    Thanks for sharing what you did anyways.

  2. Glad you enjoyed this. Since the original is a VHS-C tape, I figured that not much would be lost with compressed formats. Converting the audio to FLAC from the original digital transfer would be easy enough to do - give me a little time! I'll get to it when I can and post a FLAC version.

  4. Are you referring to the txt file link or any of the links in the txt file? I just tried the link and it worked fine, give it another try. I can email you the txt file if you're still having problems.

  5. I have the text file and I downloaded the MP3 files (thank you for the heavy) but when I try to download the video files, I get this message "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable"...

  6. Sorry I forgot to follow up with you earlier - were you able to get the video files? The links are still active. Sometimes MU links give you that message. Keep trying and let me know if you got the files okay.

  7. Could you re-upload this to a different site? Seems like the dumbass US government has shut down MegaUpload and I cannot download the video.
