Comments on both ACCEPT CD'S :

It's me (Fermin Javier), well the CD is simply great.
The sound is not that worse as I waited it, I have heard
bootlegs more bad than this. The sound quality is between
6 and 7 out of 10. Also it is true that is was recorded in 1980.
The cover and backcoer are simply great, wonderfull, etc.
Did, you do it? How?

You have done a good job !!
A really, really good job !! I can't stop playing it !!!

I got to listen to the CD today and the sound is great.
It's great to hear an Accept concert from 1980, it only took 20 years.
I've been collecting Accept shows for a long time and have never
found an early show with this good of sound. Do you have any
other boots other than Accept?
I look forward to Live in Holland #2.

Thanks again,
Michael Pataky, Cleveland

I think the sound is very good considering it's age...i would
put it at 8-10. Now I understand the breaker album songs being on
that early of a show.
They sung them live before they were recorded... all the
songs from that album had different lyrics on this concert which
later got changed for the album. And the song Take It Easy is an
earlier version of Starlight......so I think all the fans that kept
begging Ed to put unreleased type stuff on wolf's site should look
no further than this CD.

And i finally have a good live copy of my favorite song Tired Of Me!!!!!!!!!! It sounds great! and the guitar solo is twice as long as the
studio..............I'm gonna play this cd to death!

Thanx a lot! -Joe- USA

It was great as expected. I really like the version of Breaker. The extra 3 songs from #1 was an even bigger surprise. The track China Lady was incredible. Thanks
again .

Joe Schlared's review (of the 2 Accept boot CD's) as seen on his Accept web-site:

This is my only review (or whatever you want to call it) of an Accept album.....correction-
It's not an Accept album, it's a bootleg!! However, what makes this special is that for all of the fans that have wanted rare tracks or b-side type stuff... well, here it is! The date for the concert is October 1980, yet there are Breaker (1981) songs on it. Confused like I was? Well, after listening to the cd, I formed an opinion that Accept sang Breaker album songs before they were ever recorded for the album. Most of them have different lyrics... and one song is almost completely different (an earlier version of Starlight called Take It Easy).

Sorry about the images above, and for this page layout (the main purpose is information, not making a pretty page)... I didn't want 2M images on here so I had to sacrifice the text. The one on the left is the front cover and says "Live in Holland #1".... the other lists the songs, incorrectly as: Lady Lou-Tired of Me-The King-Save Us-Do It-Take It Easy-Seawinds-Run If You Can-Take Him In My Heart-Free Me Now-I'm a Rebel-Breaker-Burning

Then the band members are listed followed by: "Recorded LIVE at the Dorpshuis Ruinerwold
Holland the 25th of October 1980"

The song listings above are just for the first cd... there are 2 cds for the show. The correct song listing is:

disc #1

Lady Lou-Tired Of Me-The King-Save Us-That's Rock and Roll-Guitar Solo-Do It- Take it easy-Seawinds-Run If You Can-Take Him In My Heart-Free Me Now-Drum solo-I'm A Rebel-Breaker-Burning-second guitar solo

disc #2

Down and Out-China Lady-Thunder and Lightning

Overall using my "system" on the audio page... I'd rate this concert an 8. Much better quality than the other early-years shows I have an also the fact that it's a full length concert really makes this boot special....which is why I have chosen to do a sub-page on it. I'll comment on some of the album, but not the whole thing... I'm not trying to critique it, just trying to give you an idea what's on it. Some of us have the video boot that's out there from this time period... but you can't hardly hear or see anything.
This boot is an Accept fan's dream come true in my opinion. I mean, finally getting
to hear songs like Tired of Me, China Lady, Seawinds, and Thunder and Lightning live! I mean, what else can I say!!!

Tired of Me- My favorite song live!!!! Sounds almost as awesome as the studio, with a guitar solo almost double the length of the studio. That's what's so cool about the boot, is that if you're a big fan of some of the songs they never played in concert in their later years... well here finally are live versions!

The King and Seawinds- First of all, great to hear Seawinds live! Both of these sound more closely to the studio versions than the 93 concert version of The King (not to say that version isn't good).

guitar solo- It was good to hear something different! What was it... 3 or 4 years straight that Wolf played the exact same solo in concert? It's not spectacular, but like I said, cool to hear something different.

Take It Easy- As I said above, this is (in my opinion anyway) an earlier version of Starlight. Everything about it makes it a totally different song except the guitar solo and riffs around the solo are sounds we would later come to know and love from Starlight. But the rest of the song is totally different sounds and lyrics. There's a background singer (probably Peter) who goes super high pitched... at first I thought maybe they had King Diamond guest appearing on stage... HA! The same person returns later in the show singing the word "Burning".

Run If You Can- The music is the same... whats phukn' cool is the lyrics! One line will be a line used in the studio version and the next will be something else! A good example for instance is the chorus.... the studio goes "Run if you can, shake off the devil. Man don't you pay with your life. Run if you can, deadly and evil. He's hell on earth and he's alive." The chorus on this boot goes "Run if you can, don't choose the devil. Time has to pay for your life. Run if you can, his feats are evil-(i think that's what he's sayin' here... :-) No doubt about it, he's alive."

Take Him in My Heart- Sounds just as horrible as the studio! HAHA! All kidding aside, I've always had to give this song it's due simply 'cause it has my all-time favorite guitar solo. I'm not a guitar expert like those "Gimme tabs! Gimme tabs! Gimme tabs!" people, but I think that the solo in this version is done by Wolf and Jorg in unison.....I still like the studio guitar solo
better!!

Drum solo- Stefan got asked one time in an interview why they never had drum solos in concerts, and he said that most of them sound the same and are boring.... and that only Cozy Powell (if i spelled the name wrong it's 'cause I don't know who he is) can pull it off. Well, I happen to love drum solos, my favorite being Randy Castillo's solo on "The Ultimate Ozzy" video. But Stefan does an excellent job here.... I wish they would have continued doing drum solos.

Breaker and Burning- Much like Run If You Can... same music, but different lyrics throughout. On Burning, Udo lets around 4 audience members sing "Burning, Burning, Burning just like fire"... which is too drawn out as always! HA!

Down and Out-probably the Breaker album song that gets changed the least.

China Lady- This is awesome!!! This is probably my favorite song on the boot outside of course Tired of Me.

Also one last thing I'd like to mention... don't try to get a copy of this if you don't like Accept's earlier albums! Makes sense
doesn't it.

It sounds good, artwork is excellent, it's a beauty!

thanks and best to you,

Hi Albert,
I just started listening and it sounds great. Nice artwork too. Thanks for everything. Shawn

Hi once more!

The design of the package is very pleasing to the eye. The sound quality is
surprisingly good, good enough for this to be a record for listening, not just
for filing away in the archives. Thank you very much. It's good to have the concert complete.

Odd Magnus Nilsen

Netjes afgewerkte hoes en bijzonder goede kwaliteit, omdat hij stereo is neem ik
aan dat ie rechtstreeks van het soundboard komt ? Wederom perfect ! Bedankt
!

Hans

Hallo Albert,

Ik ga de komende dagen zeker genieten van de opname's op dit moment staat Accept te draaien, opvallende goede kwaliteit tot nu toe.

Met vriendelijke groet Huibert-Jan
