Quick SIT show question

Yes, it was shot right after Sheffield show, so the crowd that wanted to participate remained after the concert.
Big inflatable Eddie doesn't appear @ SIASL, it does in Iron Maiden, just as in every tour.

I have the whole audience shot show on dvd

It's not the same gig. Sheffield was played two nights in a row. First night was captured only as audience audio bootleg, and it's a great performance. After that night, they shot SIASL promo. The gig day after was captured on audience video bootleg, and it's a pretty good bootleg quality, but Bruce was ill and he couldn't sing very well.

By the way, SIASL was 6th song on the setlist, on the video you can see clearly that Bruce's hair is washed and dried, no sweat, other band members also look pretty clean for people that are 30 minutes into the heavy metal gig  ;) And, you can hear and see the crowd cheering when inflatable Eddie appears, there's no cheering on real bootleg. And you can see that Adrian isn't playing the final solo (slow licks beneath the final chorus), on real bootleg he is.

It's more-less general knowledge about this video, but i just wanted to put some facts in, to kill any trace of doubt.

Regarding OP's question, 5 worthy video boots of SiT tour are Philadelphia, Paris, Sheffield, Gothenburg, New York. Philadelphia is clippy at beginning, lacks half of the setlist, but it's only pro shot. Paris is good amateur shot with camera stand somewhere in the middle (mixboard position probably), whole show, but the sound is sourced from the camera microphone and you have all the cons of single camera shot video. Sheffield has very good shooting position, video and audio quality, but Bruce was ill. Gothenburg has excellent audio quality, video is blued (yes, blued, not blurred, but it somewhat adds to atmosphere) but good, however the camera guy slowly moves from the audience to space between barrier and stage as the show goes on, and on last third he can only see band members right up front, no stage, etc... New York has little above average quality in terms of audio and video, and it's shot from high side position, but it's best in terms of atmosphere, you see whole stage + effects all the time, and it's the only boot that has whole intro recorded.

Apart from those, all others are worthy only as a collectors item.

Huh, I never knew it was filmed at that Sheffield gig. I have that bootleg, never realized the SIASL video happened that night.

Both nights were captured on audience video actually. See here:

It's quite interesting that pro shot footage from every tour from the 80's from Killers and up has been released except for SIT. Surely something decent must exist.

The Early Days has Killers, TNOTB, and POM. Live After Death has PS. Maiden England has SSOASS.

Maybe Maiden is planning a special surprise for the next history release.
 
Thanks Zare for that great info. As far as video go's, Philly and Gothenburg is as good as I'm gonna find. I did manage to get a Chicago 87 audio bootleg that sounds pretty good though. Sadly no sea of madness.

No, there isn't any. People have been looking and hoping for almost a quarter century. It isn't there.

There must be some that exist somewhere in the world, just not on the internet. The Philly gig was pro shot. Also that video I posted earlier with the interview with Bruce, looked nicely filmed. Not to mention some of the footage from the 12 wasted years documentary.
 
I've got a pro audio show on my iPod. I'll let you know for sure tomorrow what it is.
I just checked and it does have Sea Of Madness. I'm just not sure where it's from. It sounds like Bruce says "scream for me Belgrade", but it might be Belstad or something like that. I take it you would be interested?

Hey, Maidenmann, you still around? Did you get the boot?
