I'll read the English version no matter what. Also, the Kindle edition, I don't have any space left for new books on the shelf.
 
does anyone know what is said during the intro to Book of Thel?

I'd heard before that the similar bit in Machine Men is just Bruce reading the phone book or something, but I notice that you can here some mumbling in the intro on the live version of Book of Thel on the greatest hits, which would suggest that there is something more significant than the phone book being said if he bothered to recreate it live.

I cannot understand what he is saying during the intro on the studio version (it is really low in the mix), but when it came to playing it live, if I remember correctly in 1998 he was doing a spoken intro during the quiet intro about opening the Book of Thel that he, apparently, did not do in 1999.

My guess would be something inspired by the Book of Thel. Here it is, just in case your hearing is much better than mine!

I looked at the clip of this on youtube and you're dead right.

I never picked up the Bruce live dvds, was this from the same tour as Scream for me Brazil? It's definitely not the same version as the CD, as on the version I'm familiar with both guitars play the lead fills during the intro and on youtube it's only roy Z

The CD includes songs from different gigs; the DVD version is from one show.

On a side note, Anthology is an utterly recommended purchase. :)

I have watched it again and it seems that he also mentions something about the "air conditioning system"! :lol: No wonder he ranted before Tears of the Dragon. :lol:
 
@srfc, three (or possibly) more songs from the Scream for me Brazil CD are taken from the same night that DVD bootleg is from. The Tower, Laughing in the hiding Bush and Tears of the Dragon. I mixed up the Tower :


Might as well do for the other three.
 
Do any bootlegs exist of the songs that were included in the set at those gigs but not on the live album? I know Jerusalem is on the Best of Bruce Dickinson compilation, but I'm curious about the rest. There's nothing there we haven't heard before (a couple of Maiden covers, Tattooed Millionaire and Taking the Queen iirc), it's all pure curiosity since I couldn't find anything on YouTube.

It seems that the show from Vinhedo is available on Youtube. Apparently they replaced Tattooed Millionaire with Jerusalem:

Just in case anyone is interested, Scream for me Sarajevo would be screened for the first time in the UK as part of the War Child film festival:

I can't wait to watch the documentary today. Apparently, the showing of the film will be followed by a Q&A featuring Adnan Cuhara (film producer), Chris Dale (bassist of Skunkworks), Trevor Gibson (UN security officer and now owner of Circle Studios in Birmingham, whose official inauguration was attended by Bruce), and Tatjana Bonny (FORM UK).
 
The Bruce Dickinson vinyl box is on US Amazon. It's currently cheaper than the pledge music site, $157 + free shipping.
