Stairway to heaven Drunken Ramble

[gor]

...and what's the story behind it? I googled it but found nothing.

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, it's a 2 minute mp3 file that is doing the rounds with a (drunk?) bruce singing mock lyrics and the rest of the guys playing along stairway to heaven.

Its from the 'Made of' Maiden bootleg.

It seems to originally be from a 1981 demo tape, when Bruce joined the band... How the demo tape was procured, I don't know. It's a vinyl bootleg and also contains live performances from 'Nijmegan 1981'

Yeah it's off a vinyl bootleg which is basically of Bruce's early days, consisting of the audition, a few live tracks, a Christmas message and this drunken ramble.

Probably recorded during a soundcheck, most likely at the Ruskin Arms pub in December 1981 since the soundcheck was recorded and later released on various bootlegs along with the gig.
