The 40th anniversary expansion actually earns its box: new remaster off the original tapes, plus full unreleased shows from Newcastle and Leeds that finally put the whole Bomber tour on record instead of just the highlight reel. None of the padded-reissue-with-nothing-new nonsense I usually complain about, the soundcheck cuts (Stay Clean, Limb from Limb, Iron Horse) are genuinely worth owning. No motorik hypnosis here, obviously, Lemmy's not that guy, but put the headphones on for the remaster and Fast Eddie's guitar sits somewhere it never did on the old CD transfer. 8.
heard the studio version enough to know exactly what DArkSide is, the Last Resort lift and the bits that basically want to be old Linkin Park, and dressing it up as a live immersive thing doesn't touch the song underneath. Oli commits and the crowd does a lot of the lifting on the chorus, which is most of why it lands at all. fine as a tour document. if you already own NeX GEn there's nothing new here to reach for this one instead. still one of the more middling cuts off that record for me.
