My all time favorite audience bootleg! Troy, NY
I find this to be so realistic and accurately shows what a Maiden show was really like
Nice view of Nicko too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNVLRTU3N8cWhen Somewhere In Time came out, I thought it was their best album to date. I was very disappointed with Powerslave and the whole Live After Death experience. At the time, I thought it was all quite cliche. Somewhere In Time, on the other hand, sounded so fresh. It had a number of longer songs without them continually telling me they wrote long songs.
While I attended the Powerslave show, I was pumped for the Somewhere In Time show.
When people talking about setlist spoilers, I always think of this show. This is when you had no idea what a band was going to play until they played it.
Starting the show is Caught Somewhere In Time. This is my #3 all time favorite Maiden song. I do remember the intro to the show taking forever. Children Of The Damned was played third and I was so happy. It's also a Top 10 track, and I simply wasn't expecting it.
I remember wondering why the hell they were playing Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Where was Alexander??
But the big shock that came out of nowhere was when they went into Phantom Of The Opera. Those first notes sent me into a frenzy. It was literally the last thing I was expecting.
What also made this show special was having Waysted open. yeah, they're a nobody to most every fan, but it was special for me. Waysted was formed after Pete Way, who left UFO to form Fastway, only to be unable to get out of his contract to change labels. Waysted were touring their third album and first with American vocalist Danny Vaughn, who would go on to form Tyketto.
Also part of the band was former UFO guitarist Paul Chapman, the man who played in UFO, both along with Michael Schenker in the early days, and then after Schenker left.
So I was seeing in front of me both Pete Way and Paul Chapman. Unforgettable for me.
