[@danilogallucci]

Soundcheck? Seems more like a real show! Awesome!

[@raassk2226]

Amazing!

[@SergioMega81]

Awesome!

[@kevlarkarma]

I can't believe how tight this is for such an early performance. Is this really from 81?

[@zb10948]

Yes, see Ruskin Arms 1981 show at setlist.fm. To be honest it was after Christmas so it's barely 1981.

[@kevlarkarma]

Still, it's pre-album release and sounds awesome. All of the later live versions I imagined were road hardened, but this is nails....and in a pub!

[@isakkmeiden]

Awesome..!!

[@BendProwler]

Very good!!

[@ScorpionMaster1224]

awsome

[@freddyferrillo9704]

Always thought Bruce wasn't in the band until 1982? When NOTB got released.

[@zb10948]

He joined in 1981. You have his first live gig with the band on YT - Bologna 1981

[@Tillflyfisher]

Not sure this is 81 like

[@krzysztofazarewicz3414]

It is. It's from the gig which took place on 23rd December 1981 at The Ruskin Arms. I've got the whole bootleg from that night.
