HARALD OIMOEN PRESENTING SLAYER AT BEREKELEY

Harald Oimoen: WOW !! What a fucking trip !!! Just saw these photos from Day on the Dirt for the very first time this evening  ….EVER !! They sat in a fucking box for over 40 years and were scanned by old pal Wayne Vanderkuil  & taken by the amazing Chris Roomian !! Lookit that skinny ass youngster  !!

This was me introducing Slayer !! I think I said something like “BEREKELEY !! PLEASE WELCOME SATAN’s FAVORITE BAND …….SLAYER !!!!! “

It’s a trip seeing these cause I never knew they even existed !! HELL YEAH  ! Thanks to Wayne ,Chris & Brian Lew for unearthing these now historic gems !!! Hard to believe this was over 40 fucking years ago ….I was only 23 years young !!!! Things were so much more innocent back then & I hella miss that !!!!
