This is a bootleg of
the concert in Copenhagen on November 5, 1990, on the No Prayer for the Dying
tour. The quality is excellent for an audience recording, though do not expect
'perfect' quality if you ever listen to it. Sometimes, bootleg-listening
becomes an art form.
Taken from the “No Prayer on The Road”
tour, Maiden go all out to promote the album No Prayer For The Dying by
including six songs off it in their set list – most of which never got a run
live again. And they all sound great live – “Public Enema Number One”,
“Tailgunner”, “Holy Smoke”, “The Assassin”, “Hooks In You” and “Bring Your
Daughter… To The Slaughter”. It can continue to amaze just how much better some
songs sound live than their studio recorded components, and to be honest also
vice versa. Add to that the usual
gems from the back catalogue and you have a set list that is a great showcase
for this era of Iron Maiden.
This album catches all
of that. This was Janick's first tour with Maiden, so it is good for that
aspect as well. Much of the newer material never made it into a set again, so
it is good to listen to them live, with Bruce belting them out with great
passion. It is a good bootleg of this tour. Of course, in this day and age,
they pretty much release an official live album of each tour. One of this tour
would have been great.
Rating: Worth it just for the songs off No Prayer for the Dying. 4/5.
