I also attended the Nottingham and first London shows. 16th and 17th time seeing the band, having attended every tour since the DOD one in 2003.
I agree that the O2 was the better show of the two (helped by Bruce getting SIASL right this time) but Nottingham wasn't far behind IMO, with a...
I'm interested in anything from the 82 tour.
Birmingham is a good show. Does it need speed correcting at all?
Also I have the Donington 92 broadcast and it's a great show but does that run fast as sometimes I think it is a fraction quick here and there? Given that it's a radio broadcast it...
Thank you so much for this. Having seen Maiden a lot over the years I've got several of the shows I went to on CD but so good to have access to the rest of them.
That was my point - despite how brilliant much of Maiden's catalogue is, the fact that I'd still rate those two Bruce solo albums above much of it shows how fantastic both records are.
If only Maiden could hire Roy Z for production duties.
It has high points but a ton of filler. Empire Of The Clouds sounds half finished.
Harris should have kept to his original plan to make 15 albums. Though TFF is a step down from the career peak of AMOLAD - if Maiden had kept on as a live band but not a studio one after 2006 their recording...
My rankings:
1. AMOLAD
2. Somewhere In Time
3. The X Factor
4. DoD
5. Iron Maiden
These are my top 5 and don't usually change. AMOLAD and DoD are both flat out masterpieces. SiT is really good too, a very consistent album that you can pretty much play at any time and enjoy. The X Factor, by...
Here's another one: Accident of Birth and The Chemical Wedding are better than 90% of Maiden's back catalogue.
In particular AoB is one of the best records in any genre of the last 30 years. I would rate it above every Maiden album apart from SiT and AMOLAD.
Just as an addendum to the above, could someone please PM me a link to anywhere I can download the Donington 1992 broadcast as the poster above requested?
I'm very keen to get hold of it because the official CD is a huge missed opportunity as the mix is like mud (strangely the VHS mix is...
I have quite a few 'interesting' opinions on Maiden which seem to get me a lot of flak when I've brought them up elsewhere online, so.... here goes
1) Killers is one of Maiden's weakest albums. It has better production and cover art than the debut, and some classic cuts in the form of...
Anything from the Beast On The Road tour - Birmingham is a great show despite the average quality recording.
Gothenburg 2005 and Stockholm 2006 are both fantastic performances in broadcast quality.
