   Well, besides, it was in the days of heavy metal!  It is loud, and messy.
Typical 80's metal live album.  Just like the Sabs "live Evil", recorded
around the same time.
   I think Rick D sounded great on RBN.

 Yeah, a little dissapointing- at first.  But the drums don't sound all that
clean on that ( Al) track DaS.  Not too bad on BB, which rules the album.
  As far as live HM albums from that era go, it is still my favorite by far.
