What 1990-1991 No Prayer On The Road Bootlegs are good?

I'm trying to find soundboard recordings
of the No Prayer On The Road Tour.
What bootlegs (Other than Sledgehammer)
are really good?
 
I keep a decent one from every tour ripped, 2 if the decent one is an incomplete gig which obviously the Wembley one is. So Leicester 1990 is the second one I have ripped from that tour.
 
Ayr and Leicester 1990 are pretty good.

EDIT: Paris, Le Zénith is probably the best overall of those that I know.
 
I always liked this one. Have it on CD as well. Not soundboard, but nice atmosphere and decent sound, not? I have not compared to above suggestions so maybe some of us would like to compare:

21/07/1991 al Paul Ricard of Bol D'Or in France.

Setlist: 1. Tailgunner 00:00 2. Public Enema Number One 04:08 3. Wrathchild 08:07 4. Hallowed Be Thy Name 11:08 5. 22 Acacia Avenue 18:30 6. The Prisoner 25:23 7. No Prayer For The Dying 32:54 8. The Evil That Men Do 37:15 9. The Trooper 41:38 10. Iron Maiden 45:36 11. The Number Of The Beast 50:34 12. Bring You Daughter... To the Slaughter 54:57 13. Run To The Hills 01:04:36 14. Sanctuary 01:08:45

Gotta love that early place for Hallowed! Holy shit :--)

Different set for those late 91 gigs too!
 
Indeed! This was the final one! Just a handful of these late 1991 gigs makes it extra special.
The Prisoner and The Evil are the two songs only played at these last four gigs.

These are the ones I have and the ratings I gave them from when I used to trade bootlegs, Madrid seems to be a decent one that hasn't been mentioned yet

EDIT: the Dublin one is intersting in that Bruce has a pint on stage as his first child had just been born that day. Also, there was an incident of people spitting at the band, which sadly was for some bizarre reason a trend at Dublin gigs in those days, I believe it was because tours rarely came to Ireland in those days due to costs/troubles so punks would go to any of the rare gigs that there was and behave like pricks.
 
War Machine from Wembley is my favourite one. Soundboard recording, playing on home turf and with the band apparently in great mood pre-Christmas.

Hallowed Be Thy Name also worked great early in the set back on the GMETID tour in 2003 too (that was a fantastic setlist, wasn’t it?).
 
Here are some of the best sounding bootlegs, IMHO:

Leicester, 2th of October
London, 18th of October (Wolfsbane with Blaze was the opening act and apparently from time to time Blaze came onstage to sing during the encore, that's the case here, you may hear Bruce introducing him during BYDTTS)
Paris, 30th of October, "Shrapnel", probably the best complete one from the whole tour
London, 18th of December: lot of different versions but the best one being probably the one called "A real dying one". Too bad it's incomplete
Frankfurt, 22nd of December, known as "Tales of steel...and other beautiful things", with a pic of...Adrian in the back of the bootleg
Los Angeles, 20th of February
Roskilde, 29th of June: there are different versions around, some not that great, but the best one is one taped by John Doe_Sweden

Can you give me downloadable links to some of these?
Cheers

The Give Me Ed tour did have a great setlist, but we didn't get to see some of the truly awesome songs in America, since they dropped 22AA and Bring Your Daughter, doing only a 90 minute set. If memory servies, they gave early curfews as a reason, which made no sense, at least for the gig at Chicago's World Music Theater, where they finished at 10:30 when the curfew was 11:00.

On the bright side, I did get to see them do an extended set on the Indianapolis stop on Ozzfest, where Maiden became the defacto headliners due to Ozzy having health issues that night. No, they didn't do a full headlining set, but they did 14 songs and about 80 minutes (compared to the usual Ozzfest set of 10 songs in 60 minutes).
