Iron Maiden: Leiden ’80. Goenoordhall, Leiden, Holland. 05.10.80
Description
This show is
reviewed here as incomplete version, really short, but that one is fake, this
one has many mistakes, first of all this version supposed to be full show but The
Ides of March is lost, supposed to have Phantom of the opera but in fact is
Transylvania, and Drifter lasts just 2 minutes, so with 2 different set list I
decided to ask, and I got information from Trevor aka Tay666 and Dr. Demonic, and here what Dr. Demonic did as resume.
Here is what I can tell you about it.
Version 1 (17:05)
1 - The Ides Of
March (0:37)
2 - Wrathchild
(2:59)
3 - Prowler (3:55)
4 - Charlotte The
Harlot (4:09)
5 - Remember Tomorrow (5:23)
I'm sure that this version 1 is NOT the
Leiden show.
Because it contains Charlotte The Harlot and that song wasn't played during the tour
supporting Kiss in September and October 1980.
No existing recording from that tour has
this song.
Version 2 (32:24)
1 - Sanctuary (4:58)
2 - Prowler (4:33)
3 - Remember Tomorrow (6:20)
4 - Running Free (4:12)
5 - Transylvania (4:43)
6 - Iron Maiden (5:28)
7 - Drifter (2:06) (cut)
Version 3 (33:48)
1 - The Ides Of
March (last seconds) / Sanctuary (4:40)
2 - Prowler (4:02)
3 - Remember Tomorrow (5:46)
4 - Running Free (3:28)
5 - Transylvania (4:45)
6 - Iron Maiden (2:01) (cut)
7 - Drifter (9:03)
Info about version 2 and version 3:
Crowd noise (commentaries) is the same in
both versions.
So either the taper struggled with two
different recording devices or two tapers were standing right next to each
other.
Definitely two different recordings,
because in version 2 Iron Maiden is complete and Drifter is cut, in version 3
it's the other way around.
Unlike version 2, version 3 is missing
some crowd noise between songs.
In version 2 the left channel has a very
low volume level, in version 3 the channels are
balanced.
Info about Phantom Of
The Opera:
We don't know if these recordings are
really from the Leiden show, but Phantom wasn't played that evening.
Both version 2 and 3 continue
uninterrupted between Transylvania and Iron Maiden (where Phantom should
normally be).
So either this is not Leiden or the cover
is wrong.
Who knows....... :/
My personal
opinion is this recordings are fake, all of them, and there are also problems
with Leiden ’81 so I guess a trader launched these shows knowing they were
fake, trying to get more material in the old days, and the real fact that all
versions are different and probably fake has been discovered until now 2014
Thank you very
much to Tay666 & Dr Demonic for all their help with this one
