// Info

I was contacted by a guy who taped some shows in Stockholm way back when. Two Judas Priest shows 1986 and 1988 (also coming) but most importantly he taped Iron Maiden in Stockholm 1981. After this show Paul DiAnno only played two more gigs (Lund and Copenhagen) so to get a new master from 1981, and a historical one at that, is very nice indeed. It's not flawless, the intro, first song and encores are missing, and there was a tape flip at the end of Killers. But most of it's there, the sound is a bit muffled but your ears get used to it a couple of minutes in. All in all a good day to be alive. Thanks to Kenneth for kindly lending me his tape. I balanced up the channels and reduced the pitch since the tape ran too fast. No other EQ. Play loud!
