Iron Maiden Album: “A Real Live One [Limited]”

Description :

This Limited version features vinyl replica packaging. This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The Enhanced portion includes a music video for "Fear Of The Dark." Iron Maiden: Bruce Dickinson (vocals); Dave Murray, Jannick Gers (guitar); Steve Harris (bass); Nicko McBrain (drums). Recorded live in Europe in 1992. "Fear Of The Dark" was nominated for the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance With Vocal. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. A REAL LIVE ONE was released a few months after it's counterpart, A REAL DEAD ONE. While the former contains long-forgotten early favorites, the latter is made up of later hits. While the band doesn't sound as electrified as it does on its 1985 live set, LIVE AFTER DEATH, longtime fans will get a kick out of hearing such early nuggets as "Prowler," "Transylvania," "Remember Tomorrow," "Where Eagles Dare," "Sanctuary," "Iron Maiden," and "Hallowed Be Thy Name." The band also manages to pepper the set with a handful of more renowned tracks, such as "The Number of the Beast," "The Trooper," "Running Free," "Run to the Hills," and "2 Minutes to Midnight."

Note to Steve Harris: I absolutely love you and have you to thank for giving us the world's greatest band Iron Maiden. You are also the God of Bass playing, but there's one thing youcannot do to save your life: PRODUCE A LIVE ALBUM!!!!!!!!

A Real Live one is a collection of performances from the Fear of the Dark tour, and performance wise it's pretty good. But this has such bad sound quality! For one you can't hear the audience at all, so it sounds hideously bad. And the mix is so bad it sounds like they're performing in a bathroom. Also the guitars and bass are mixed too loud, you can barely hear the drums.

But otherwise it's pretty good. Steve needs to realize he can't mix a live album to save his own life though.
