AKA ?Before the Exile (liberated boot). First things first. I love this show. Second things second?it is far from pristine. This seems like it was taken from a variety of sources, including vinyl. The sound quality is actually pretty good, all things considered. But it isn?t exactly DAO (though it isn?t as bad as TAO either) and the between song banter is choppy in its edits. Seems to be a source skip (minor, but noticeable) in ?Running Free? and there are some audio flaws among the set. But hey, this is early 80s Maiden and Di?anno sounds awesome. Despite the imperfections, it is a good sounding show and it is interesting to hear an early version of ?Killers? with different lyrics. Also one of Adrian Smith?s first gigs with the band. The last two songs are filler from a different source.
