This was the night Maiden was recording their "Live at the Rainbow" video--Paul mentions that in the stage banter before "Killers." After "Drifter" he also mentions there's been a "technical hitch" and they'll have to play most of the set over for the video. -bootleg.heavymetalmaniac.net

This is an excellent audience recording of early Maiden. All the songs that have become hits nowadays were then new and they really sound fresh and awesome! Paul Di'Anno announces at the end of the gig that, due to a technical problem, they're going through most of the show again. This is a reference to the video recording of the first Iron Maiden video. [Maverick] The duration of the tracks isn't accurate. Also, the date is listed as being 21st December 1980. This dates seems to be incorrect though (judging from the track listing), it seems that the year is more likely to have been 1981. -www.ironmaidenheaven.com
