Best Paul Di`anno vocal performance?

Burning Ambition must be high on the list. Another life is a good one too. Live his voice changed up a bit early 1980 he wasnt nearly as good as late 1980 (Reading festival onwards) possibly something was wrong with his throat. Bremen 1981 show was maybe him at his peak and the same continued through the whole Killers 1981 European tour. By Japan 1981 shows his voice started to suffer a little bit. Paul from August 1980 to April 1981 was the best rock singer ever in my opinion.
 
On the first two albums I like all his performance. The first two Maiden albums are - possibly with an exception of NPFTD - the only ones I can entirely listen to without skipping anything. I can't see any weak points to them in terms of vocal performance really. Okay, the studio album version of Remember Tomorrow isn't sung as good as he used to sing it live, but still great and it's more a production thing to blame. I agree with Bremen January 1981 as one of his best live performances with Maiden, and also during the Rainbow gig in December 1980 he really delivered. Would really love to see a full release from the Marquee show that was used for the 20th Century Box.
