This was the second double CD from the Eddie's Archive package that was then later released on its own. It is recorded on the Beast On The Road tour, with Bruce Dickinson raising hell on vocals.
This concert had pretty much every great song Maiden had recorded over their first three albums, and is just brilliant. It has all the elements required to make a great live album (refer to previous post for list). The fact that it took so many years to surface is strange, considering the number of bootlegs of the show that exist (yep, I've got one).
Personal favourites are the less-heard-in modern-days songs such as Another Life, Drifter, Transylvania and Killers, along with The Prisoner, Children Of The Damned and Phantom Of The Opera.
Rating : Just a great album of what must have been a great gig. A snapshot of a band that was heading for big, big things. 5/5.
