Iron Maiden 1981-09-08 Göta Lejon Stockholm, Sweden

IRON MAIDEN
Stockholm, SWE
Göta Lejon
1981-09-08 (September 8th)

source: previously uncirculated master cassette, taped by Kenneth
length: 50.48

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!

setlist:
01 Purgatory
02 Wrathchild
03 Twilight zone
04 Remember tomorrow
05 Genghis Khan
06 Killers (ending cut)
07 Another life / Clive Burr solo
08 Innocent exile
09 Running free
10 Murders in the Rue Morgue
11 Phantom of the opera
12 Iron maiden

ENJOY!
