MAIDEN MANIA

Having been buried under a pile of Maiden bootlegs lately, I started checking up and re-tagging the the whole collection stored in the Port vaults. A quite painstaking task, since there are many... and handy and reliable sources of info/details about are few and sparse.

Here I beam you two of my prefered ones: "Ullevi 2005" (Gotheburg, Sweden 2005) and "Cyberpunk" (Hammersmith Odeon, London 1986). Both very good quality stuff (yeah, we don't take in crap here)!

Ullevi's one is a soundboard record of the Early Days Tour and it's got pathos and graet live feeling! Plus you get to listen to some early pieces singed by Bruce. "Cyberpunk" is an audience record, but quite fine (except for a few ups&downs at the beginning of track 2); it brings you back to one of my prefered albums... the misstreated Somewhere in time. The cover of the disc I have isn't this one, but the record is the same, based on the master of the first "Cyberpunk", taken at the Hammersmith on 3rd Nov. 1986. Enjoy!
