The first show of the SPEAK OF THE DEVIL tour, which resumed with new members at the beginning of 1983, is now available for the first time! This historic live performance from Helsinki, Finland, on January 12th features the debut of Jake E. Lee. Along with Jake, bassist Don Costa (who sadly passed away) and keyboardist Lindsay Bridgewater also joined the band as new members for this lineup, which lasted until April 1983. This is a complete recording of the first show with this rare lineup. The audience recording is somewhat distorted, offering a decent sound quality, but it has been improved to a level that makes it more enjoyable than the underground circulated versions, making it a worthy addition for enthusiasts. While it’s a must-have for collectors, it’s not just of historical value—it offers a great listening experience too!
