Bruce-versions of early songs? (Strange World, Purgatory, Innocent Exile etc.)

I've found most of these on the bootlegs that are in the IMC. However, I was wondering if Bruce ever sang Strange World live, and if it made it onto a bootleg? It's one of my favourite songs, and I'd love to see what Bruce does with it. Same goes for the others, but I've found that the boots from that period are quite awful (naturally), so I'm wondering what the best-quality bootleg is, if I'm looking for those songs?

Unfortunately he never sang "Strange World".

In 1981 he did sing all the other Di'Anno album songs though, apart from "Prodigal Son" (which was never performed at all) and "Charlotte The Harlot". However, he did sing "Charlotte The Harlot" 24 years later, only two times, namely the first two gigs of 2005!

In 1981 he also did the non-album single "Twilight Zone" and the live favourite "I've Got The Fire" (as you might know: a cover, which was also a b-side).

In the Iron Maiden Commentary you can go to the bootleg section.
At the end of the Killer tour (first gig 26 October 1981) Bruce joined the band. You can check setlists, if you like.
 
Yeah, I've been at the IMC, I've got "breaking in bruce", but the audio is quite awful. So I was wondering if someone knew of a particular recording with decent audio. Guess I'll have to stick with what I got, though.

As for Charlotte The Harlot, Bruce sang it on a B-side in '88. Great recording.
