This release captures the Iron Maiden performance from November 29, 1986, at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France, during their European tour. Taking place as part of the promotional campaign following the release of *Somewhere in Time*, this show finds the band gaining serious momentum in the late 80s; the performance is excellent and highly enjoyable, characterized by a raw, intense energy throughout. Eight tracks from the 1985 Los Angeles concert are included as bonus tracks. Regarding sound quality, a soundboard (SBD) source is used; while there are a few minor spots with slight distortion, the audio remains consistently high-quality from start to finish.
