Best Live Album?

I love his performance on TRATB. Bruce, on the other hand, sounds strained, which is why I avoid listening to this album. Such a shame, because I love the setlist - but of course they had to pick one of Bruce's worst performances from the tour.
He was pretty poor singing TRATB at the O2 in 2017. The instrumental on the other hand was one of the best things I have ever seen Maiden do live. It was stunning.
 
A Real Live One. Closely followed by A Real Dead One.

Don't see where all the unlove comes from. It's the rawest and most authentic Maiden live album. They even left several mistakes on it, clearly audible. No fucking overdubs.
Many songs are played faster than on record. Bruce sounds a bit rough, but he hits way more notes than on Live After Death, where his pitch is quite off at times.
Combined setlist on both albums is awesome. Cover artworks are among their greatest.
Best rendition of Fear of the Dark ever.

Guess these albums are unpopular bc they are so rough, but it's a HEAVY METAL band, folks. It is not supposed to be smooth.

Also good: Death on the Road, Rock In Rio.

My fave Maiden era was 1983 - 1993, so albums like Beast Over Hammersmith or En Vivo don't get me excited, despite being well performed.

I really some of the renditions on ARLDO and Donnington. Bruce sounds great on some songs as well. Hallowed on ARLDO slaps as well.

I would take all 3 of those albums over Nights of the Dead.

I loved it in the past. Fear of the dark live in helsinki?

I rarely listen to these albums because of the setlist. I don't like NPFTD and FOTD songs. They also played Can I play with Madness and HCW, which are my least favourite songs off their respective albums (which are my 2 favourite albums) and many rockers from the first 2 albums. There is no Rime, Powerslave or SSOASS or another epic and also there is no Adrian Smith. I only listen to Prowler and FOTD from these albums.
