I was rewatching Rock in Rio for the millionth time and I had forgotten how great the version of Sanctuary is on this release. I love the instrumental. Two great solos, 3 Amigos doing ‘backing vocals’, the wah-wah, Bruce running around the Steve and Nicko locked in.

Happy 43rd anniversary to this very great Iron Maiden single.

Sanctuary is a classic featured on multiple live albums and probably quite fun to listen to live, but the only part I enjoy on the original record are the last 10 or so seconds. Just not my type of music, so I'm flipping between a 4 and a 5. I'll go with a 4, so that my scoring system doesn't get too inflated too early, I suppose.
Again, exactly the same opinion lol
Except I can now say it's the worst song on the album.
