A real live dead one fake ?

F

Feverdog

Trooper
Hi i was going through my maiden cd,s  today and this cd looks different from my other 98 versions i bought it used, so im thinking it might be a fake .

The back of cd 1 says DIDP - 107471      01

Any help would be appreciated thanks .
 
It might not be a 98 version. If I remember correctly, there have been several different remasters.
 
I know for a fact there are more actually. I have a remaster of POM that is a different pressing than the rest of the ones I have. I think the 98 ones are more common though.
 
Indeed fake. The real versions are:

A Real Live One (1993)

They have a few of these at the store I go to. I have A Real Live/Dead One, would it be a good purchase to get this as well?
 
Depends on what you define as good. The two albums I mentioned "became" the one Feverdog opened the topic with. ARLO and ARDO are for me more original, and came out the way they were intended:

The first had "new" songs (1986-1992) from The Fear of the Dark-tour, the second had songs from the Fear of the Dark Tour and the A Real Live Tour, and featured "old" songs (1980-1984).

There were 7 months in between these two releases. One came out a few days before the beginning of the A Real Live Tour, and the other two months after the end of it.

For me the early nineties era is important because the FOTD tour was my first, so these old releases feel more special to me, also because I can't separate this from the feeling that Bruce left the band in 1993.
The first came out shortly after Bruce said: I am going to leave the band.
The second came out after he had left the band. That feels very different.

I like A Real Live One better because of the song selections and -executions. It contains the best version of The Evil that Men Do, ever released. It's very fast and those drums are unbelievable. I also like FOTD better than later versions (faster than nowadays). Other highlights are for me BYDTTS and ATSS (fantastic, listen to that audience!).

You have all these songs, already. Another difference might be the booklets.
 
ARDO was the very first Maiden album i bought, if i remember correctly. ARLO it's the "missing one" on my collection. I have it on tape, but it's not the same. FOTD version it's the one of the official video isn't it ? the Russian gig ? a great perfomance, i agree.

ARDO booklet it's ridiculous poor (like if it was released on Maiden's early stages, the inner sleeve it's just the crew members and the thank you notes), don't buy if you care much about this. Bruce's perfomance is obviously not that great too.

I bought mine the day it was released in 1993 and despite the "booklet" being pretty useless, it did come with an Iron Maiden family tree that I thought was pretty useful at the time. 

I never ever listen to either one of these but if I had to state a preference it would be for ARLO as it was the first new live album I bought as a fan.
 
Thread bump but I noticed that 2nd hand copies of ARL/DO on CD are fetching some price. Even the combined double CD is starting at £25 on ebay. Must have been out of print for some time.

I'm wondering if there will ever be a reissue of the 90s live albums.
 
Doubt it, cant see them reissuing them on their own, and if they reissue all the albums again i'd say they'll ignore them again
 
I have the ‘98 ARLDO cd set, vinyl copies of both ARLO and ARDO as well as CD copies of ARLO and ARDO. My go to is the individual CDs. I remember being 12/13 when they came out and being floored at live renditions of Stranger Shootings, Transylvania as well as Clint Eastwood fixing Where Eagles Dare.
 
I would not be surprised if they do some sort of specialty release for ARLDO somewhere down the road, maybe a record store day version or something. I can't help but think that the 90s live albums were intentionally kept aside for an eventual Donington 92 DVD release, maybe with a companion release of the CDs or some sort of box set. File it under "post retirement activities" or maybe even something for them to release during a large touring gap.
 
What's with the random chattering voices on the NOTB intro? Did someone leave a mic switched on and Steve didn't notice when doing the mix?

I think Donington ‘92 was held back for the eventual early days pt4, and then that never happened. I’m still hoping it does.
