This is the final bootleg from the Bad Attitude tour. There was a third leg in August 1985 with a few dates in the US, although no material from this leg has surfaced except for Meat Loaf's mimed appearance on the show 'Solid Gold'. This is also the most obscure of the 1985 bootlegs, and I'm unsure if it's ever been shared on here before - as it's the last recording from the tour it's also the last known recording of 'Bad Attitude' and 'Nowhere Fast' being performed live.

The original bootleg was running very slightly slow, so it's been corrected and is sounding great. The stereo panning was to hell, so the audio has been normalised and the original recording sounded rather bass-heavy so like Knebworth I've applied a similar EQ and I think it's come out rather wonderful. The set is almost exactly the same as Knebworth, exactly a week prior with the only difference being the addition of 'Nowhere Fast', which is played in an arrangement very similar to the version done in Edinburgh in January 1985.

With all that said and done as always, enjoy - both this and Knebworth are on the shorter side but still very entertaining to listen to, of course we all know Meat was more powerful at longer shows, as the longer he sang, the more into it he'd get - anyway, never stop rocking and stay tuned for the next show, which will be Gothenburg 1982.
