Iron Maiden Album: “Real Live Dead One”

This album wouldn't be so bad if it didn't SOUND so bad -- the mix is horrible! Why Steve Harris took over the mixing responsibilites from Martin Birch (the master!) is beyond me. If they could get Birch to re-mix this, it would be better I'm sure. In comparison to "Live After Death", which is, in my opinion, one of the best ever live albums, this one is just plain pathetic.

In response to an earlier reviewer's comments on this collection missing "Wasted Years", I picked up a CD single from this album that featured that as one of the "B-Sides", and it was awful. Dickinson's voice had really gone by that point.

I love Maiden, but this one really disappointed me. If you want a good live Maiden album, pick up the excellent "Live After Death".

I don't even know how EMI let these albuns to be released ... Steve Harris mad one of the worst ever productions jobs for a heavy metal band. The sound is atrocious, the songs seem to be played by a garage cover band. Janick is in his usual low form, nothing new here. The suprise came with the inclusion of "BRING YOUR DAUGHTER.." ( what on Earth Maiden' musicians saw in this awful tune ??!!?), the terrible mixing, the lack of energy from the band ( or maybe the mixing didn't capture it, I don't know), etc, etc. Thanks God Adrian Smith is back !!

If all the songs in this album were the album version, this could've been a great compilation. So, it is a live album... You might say "Cool" Then this is the dilemma

Have you gotten the Live after Death album?

If your answer is "NO" Give it a try... if you dare. If your answer is "YEs" Well... You might better want to listen it a lot more.

This has a good selection of songs (Well, ARDO has some weird ones like "Remember tomorrow") and it could be a big one... if they hadn't released Live after death. Janick Gers makes The evil that men do sound like Be quick or be dead... So, if you respect Adrian Smith... You better stay with Live after death and buy BRAVE NEW WORLD

Have any of you listened to this album? It is there best album ever. It contains the best tracks from all the albums! Bruce is amazing! The sollos are brilliant and the crowd are amazing! what more can you ask for? Buy it! P.s Maiden Rock

I hate to break it you you, Maiden fans. But, if, by now, you havent heard these cd's before, its really not worth it. I am not a huge fan of Dickinson's vocal abilities. Can I play with madness has a very bad into, the mixing of the live act is very bad and I just think that when Steve Harrie compiled all this music, he must have been on drugs or was drunk beacause he said that these are some of the 'finer' Iron Maiden Moments... well if these are the 'finer' moments.... I wouldnt pay money to see them in a 'bad' moment..........
