The essential bootlegs?

Every tour has some very good bootlegs soundwise, here are some of my favorites:

Iron Maiden Tour:
20.06.1980, Relevations -live at the Rainbow (to listen to a good sounding recording with Denis Stratton still on guitar)
21.12.1980, Before the Exile, same tour but this time with Adrian. There are quite a few versions, some with the complete gig

Killers World Tour:
Almost every japanese show but the best sounding being the one from the 24th of May (where they also play Strange World, if I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the only time the song was played during this tour)
Also the one from the Summerfest, 26.06.1981 is very good as well

Bruce warm-up tour:
1981-10-30, Milano
1981-12-23, London, different versions available but make sure to get the soundcheck with it, you may hear play a sort of a bass intro that sounds a lot like the bass intro to a song released almost 14 years later

More to come
 
There was a proshot of the milan one with bruce (theres also one with dianno on milan) I remember seeing it on traders' listings but sadly cant find it anywhere
 
Good soundboard bootleg from the Killer World Tour! @Magnus @karljant @desultory @Zare

Wow, that Trooper version is insane. And Blaze does pretty good, and on most numbers indeed.
I love his version of Hallowed..and The X Factor songs sound really great. Yes that Trooper is insane. It's a pity for the sound , but I've heard a lot worse

Just for the moment and while waiting for the announcement and new material from Maiden, for the last couple days I've been looking through my collections and archives, then browsing here and there to see any additional shows or some important ones that Im missing.
 
Are there any must-have Maiden bootlegs on Vinyl that sound good? Preferably for tours that don’t already have an official album?
