Could have Been alot better., October 29, 2001
This review is from: Real Live One (Audio CD)
I like the CD because it has a few songs that are not on on "Live after Death" But The production is poor...The drums are drownded out you can realy only hear Nicos Snare when he is playing beats.It is like he has no bass drum,You can barley hear the rest of the kit when he does fills.THis was very disapointing to me because Nico is one of my favorite rock drummers...the bass is way to loud as if Harris was trying to say "watch me play"...and Even Bruce's VOX seem a bit off.Gears Butchers Adrians solos...he just plays too fast.It is just not the same live experence that the great "Live After Death " is....but it does have a few tunes that Live After Death does not have...so I guess this CD is worth picking up....I guess :(

Horrible production, August 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Live One (Audio CD)
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".

Not Great ,Not Louzy,Just prety Good., January 5, 2002
This review is from: Real Live One (Audio CD)
This CD has the same tracks as "Donnington" with a few extras(read track listing).I wish thse guys would put out a live record with dome different songs,one's they have not released yet like "Caught Somewhere in time" and "T.L.O.T. Long distance Runner." Alot of people Have a problem with the production on this CD but I dont.It sounds fine to me but it could be these THX Speakers though (lol).My problem is that it is just a bunch of live songs recorded at different dates.It does not flow like "Donnington" and "Live After Death." Plus they mess with your mind by Putting a photo from the "seventh Son" tour on the back with adrian even though Adrian does not pick one note on this entire record.Not that I'm one of those Janick Gers Bashers,But I do like adrian better when I am listening to CD's Janick has a better stage presence than Adrian no doubt about it."Live after Death" and "Donnington " are better but this is not bad,and you need it to finish your eddie face...Up The Irons!!!
