live.
Les Binks brings it for sure, but a couple songs have tempos that are ridiculously fast like “Tyrant” and “Genocide” those two are perfect on Sad Wings and have zero groove here. A lot of stuff is just too fast. “Victim of Changes” pushes it as well especially in the middle. “Sinner” is a toss up. No idea why “Beyond the Realms” didn’t make the original cut but crap like “Running Wild” did. Seems like there was nearly enough material for a double album which would have been better. Considering the whole damn thing was recorded in the studio they could have included as many songs as they needed. Still a great live album though, but none of those versions I mentioned are definitive for me. A few if the tunes are only “better” if I want to hear them super-charged

I picked Alive! since literally every single song shits all over the studio version.
