Slayer 66 2/3: The Jeff & Dave Years. A Metal Band Biography. (57 page)

ANNOTATED WORKS CITED

All online sources cited were viewed by the author between 2007 and  November 2013, with web addresses verified in August 2013, unless otherwise noted.

Unless otherwise noted, all setlists are amalgams from the crowd-sourced archive Setlist.fm. Show reports are notoriously unreliable, even from people who were there. So I have presented representative amalgamations from the periods, rather than presenting individual dates’ reported sets.

Blabbermouth is not only the heavy metal CNN, but an archive of everything that has happened in metal and hard rock since 2001. Proprietor-editor Borivoj Krgin makes it happen.

Some articles cited are from collectors’ personal archives, and were only preserved in partial form, without full publishing date, number, title, or author. All retrievable information follows.

7-10. In Kitts’ excellent “Reign Maker,” Kathryn recalled the date as a weekend night in March 1983. The band’s only Woodstock show in March 1983 was on Monday night. I asked Kitts if she might have misspoken and possibly meant May 1983. He graciously contacted her. And after we reviewed some possible dates and videos, she consulted her files, and she is sure she first saw the band in April 23, 1983, at the Woodstock.
