The sound is a bit distant, but the overall quality remains decent. This is the first time that maiden played outside UK, the show is really good, full of good songs, but unfortunely the quality of the sound is not the best and as usual 'Drifter' is cut. A really remarkable song is 'I've Got The Fire' played in concert not very easy to find in other bootlegs.

This is an audio rip of the gig featured on the Early Days DVD. Good traders will only do business with those people who already own the DVD and just want an audio rip of official merchandise they already own. In other words, they will keep trading this bootleg within the legal limits. 'Wrathchild' has a skip and 'Another Life' has a cut, both probably from the original sound on the video.

There's a different gallop here in the middle of 'Sanctuary' than what's normal for the band when they play it live. Very interesting. Also, 'Killers' has an alternate intro and lyrics. 'Another Life' has a few skips during the drum solo. It sounds more like a tape issue than a burn error. Also, 'Iron Maiden' has a cut/splice job.
