I have been waiting for this disc forever. The entire, LP length, Live After Death. Including the long version of Running Free AND the Hammersmith cuts. This is the only way to own Live After Death (other than the album of course). If you have a copy missing Side 4 or without the extended Running Free then you don't really own Live After Death. Buy it!!!!!
Forget that 70 minute one, forget the 2-disc 1998 one, forget the cassette one, THIS is what you need (Unless you have a record player, then you NEED the original vinyl). This is an EXACT (Albiet scaled down) version of the Vinyl Gatefold. comes with 2 discs, whose sleeves are identical to the record, and even have the lyrics printed really tiny on the back. This is truely amazing, and comes with the most stuff i've seen from a live record of any kind.. comes with the original booklet as well as the remaster booklet, and the 2nd disc is enhanced, with side 4 from the record, as well as videos and pictures and all that great stuff.
Enough about how much better it is then the other versions, which you dont care about if you've never heard it. if you havent, it's just amazing. the sound quality is excellent and the crowd is amazing. it's especially cool on Running Free the way Bruce gets involved w/ the crowd. It's more or less the only live album you really need.. from any band. Words just cant describe the sound quality, musicianship or expeirence of just listneing to it. you need this now, or You're not a Maiden fan.
This is the real and original LIVE AFTER DEATH album. It contains the original LP Art and a complete booklet of the 84-85 Tour. The songs are the identical versions of the original LP. This album includes the long version of Running Free and also includes (enhaced)videos, bios and others. But the most important thing is the music, Iron Maiden is the best band of all times playing alive and this is the best live album ever made. You feel your in the crowd. Sound quality is perfect. All songs included are great( 5 stars) but I give 6 stars( Can I? ) to: Revelations, The Rime..,Running Free and Phantom of the Opera(7 starts"#$??)Yeah 7 !!!. Up the Irons.
