Donington is alright as a whole, they played things fast and loose in those days, so you were threading a fine line between a great and a bad version. But it's a better representation of the set than the other two albums.
There's some great versions on ARLO and ARDO, the Wrathchild b-side that isn't even on the album is great too, but the bad versions are real bad.
That Mannheim thing came up here before, should come up in a search. My theory is they just plain lied about the location as it was probably the best version they had from the tour but they knew Donington was going to come out on video (at least) at the time.
