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.
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.

By "boot", I meant bootleg. Glad you got it and are enjoying it.
