The cover represents a picture of the Iron Maiden line-up of the early 1990s, but the concert is a bona fide Killers set. On this pretty good soundboard-quality recording, you can hear Paul Di'Anno saying a few words in French to the audience, which is why this bootleg is sometimes traded as Paris 1981. However, this is one of the oldest traded live recordings, and the "legacy factor" tends to indicate that this really is Reggio Emilia, especially since Paul has a history of speaking the wrong language in different countries.

Paul speaks French in this show, so the authenticity of this being Gorizia is rather suspect. However, on Live In Reggio Emilia, which is one of the oldest traded live recordings, he also speaks French. Also, this show could actually be Turin 1981, and Turin could actually be Gorizia. No one knows for sure. Murders in the Rue Morgue has a cut/splice.

The Saarbrucken show is a fake and a mere collection of official B-sides being passed off as bootleg tracks. The band likely did not play a show in Saarbrucken on 20th April because the distance to Saarbrucken from Douvaine back to Toulouse is out of character for normal tour travel for that time. Additionally, there is no proof the band played or even made plans to play a show at this location or on this date.
There is some fade-out in between some of the tracks. The Dortmund tracks have a slightly lesser sound quality than the rest.

A bootleg called The Complete Heat is also being traded, with an extra track on it. It is in fact 'I've Got The Fire' from the 3rd April 1980 show in London. It was erroneously being passed around as the "complete" show, but the last track proved to be a fake. The Big Heat and The Complete Heat are both the same, complete show. Another bootleg, called Maiden Japan, Promo 81, is available, but it is simply the so-called "complete" show as well.

On top of having the front cover mislabelled with "1980" instead of 1981, this show is peculiar. Although the track changes are smooth, they sound awkward – almost as if someone cut out some of the crowd noise or dialogue between songs.
