These are top notch recordings and really display the hunger these guys had to become one of the greatest hard rock bands ever. I listened to these a couple of months back and it was really cool of the guy who discovered them to share them.

[Diamondjimi]

Great sounding boot. Is this the Hammersmith show?

Dave's screams are killer!!!

[binnie]

Excellent! Cheers for posting.

[ELVIS]

Killer bass and backup vocals !!

[Panamark]

Killer bass and backup vocals !!

Yes it does kill the song, they needed Wolf even back then

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I missed Mikey's backing vocals on the last tour. Oh shit, did I just say that?

[jero]

Those good old days!! They were on fire....

[lztom]

Brilliant clips, thanks for posting.

Eddie was such a genius on guitar.

Here is the Eruption solo from the same show. Nothing short of smokin'.

Goddamn, I say! That was a blistering 3:52.. I love Eddie's 77/78 tone.. it just pops.

[Dr Volospion]

Thank you very much for posting those. I was at that show and it brought back some very pleasant memories.

Long time ago..

Is the pitch just slightly messed up on these? Sounds ever so slightly lower than normal (at least on I'm The One, only one I listened to).
