![]() By the time I got around the hearing Leprosy it had probably been out for five years. Somehow I managed to stay in the dark until Spiritual Healing and by that time, the legend of Evil Chuck was known to everyone in the scene except me. I wish I could say I was totally on the Death bandwagon from Day 1 but that would be a fucking lie. ![]() ![]() If so, if that was the last song of the last show of the last tour–well, that’s fine. I’m going to assume they played something off of 1988’s Leprosy a nagging voice says that “Pull the Plug” was the last song. The set list, as far as I can recall, was a good cross section of the new stuff ( The Sound of Perseverance had just come out) and some chestnuts from the back catalog. Consequent to my ale-fueled evil aggression, I have spotty memories of the show, other than a sea of arms and churning bodies in front of the stage, Chuck ripping like a possessed maniac on guitar and a blistering Richard Christy drum solo. If I’d known this would be the last time I’d see Chuck Schuldiner live, I would have paid more attention to the show instead of hunting down the slimy dickhead who’d punched me in the kidneys during Hammerfall’s opening set. Some years ago (1998) in Atlanta, upstairs at the venerable Masquerade, I saw Death on what would prove to be their last show.
