OMG you can get the Live After Death DvD at Walmart. They had a 56 minute video on the World Slavery Tour as the bonus disc. It picks up right where Early Days left off.
I agree with the previous poster for Maiden England being the next release on Dvd, but how about with 12 WastedYears as a bonus? in the old days LAD , Maiden England and 12 Wasted Years were about all we had in the old days on VHS that is.

I own the bloody album, and I looked for the LAD DVD everywhere I could. I still check. My town doesn't have a cd store anymore, though.

LC, that is what Amazon is for: http://www.amazon.com/Iron-Maiden-After-Death-Two-Disc/dp/B0011U52EW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1232990992&sr=8-1
Yeah, I know what you mean, but I need to get credit and such.
Don't blame me. I expect they've changed things to use PayPal, and I have a card now, didn't then.

That's odd. I see it everywhere, along with RiR and DotR and History 1. I'm not saying all stores have all DVDs here, but most stores have at least 1 or 2, and I've never had problems finding the one I want.
I call it "odd" because I had the impression Maiden was bigger in Canada than the USA, so I'd have figured the DVDs would also be plentiful there.

I've seen that entire one-camera version (I have a copy on CD). And it's nowhere near good enough for release - at least my copy has terrible quality, and it looks like a problem from the source rather than me just having a bad copy. And even when quality rises up to tolerable for brief periods, the camera man almost never focuses on the soloist. You get to watch Steve during the verses and Bruce during the guitar solos.
But with the Ruskin and Rock In Rio videos released on the previous two DVDs, the band has shown their will to release something of poor quality rather than nothing at all. Think about it- the Somewhere In Time tour is the only one, apart from Virtual XI (which , however, has had numerous live broadcasts at the time), which has had no official live coverage at all. All we have is a fake live video clip. I'd be happy if they would come up with anything, even if it's just sound over static.

Play a CD bootleg and watch an untuned channel on your tv.Perun said:
I'm sure they will find something, and it'll probably turn out quite decent.

Yes, and maybe in Central Canada, that'd be true. But what holds true in Ontario and (specifically) Quebec rarely hold true in Nova Scotia. Here, the focus tends to be on popular acts Canada-wide, and local artists. Hell, finding a music store with a "metal" section involves a trip to Halifax, nowadays. What metal exists is often lumped into the "pop and rock" section. Most searches for Iron Maiden give me two results: Edward the Great and Somewhere Back In Time.

Regarding Somewhere On Tour videos, Spectrum Philadelphia show was indeed shot for local TV broadcast. However, it wasn't booted from TV, it was transferred from already damaged master tapes. All other "quality" video boots are amateur based, Paris, Sheffield, Gothenburg, New York...IMHO, Gothenburg is best regarding sound, and Sheffield in terms of video quality (very preserved, good position with camera tripod), however Bruce had a very very bad flu.
There are fragments of Caught Somewhere In Time from Japan on the "Ten Wasted Years" VHS tape. However, the sound is from the studio record.
Nevertheless, maybe some show will surface...you never know what's been shot. For instance, i'm sure that several Ed Hunter tours were pro-shot with multicams and haven't surfaced as video boots. We have Aces High and Futureal live videos from that tour, plus numerous fragments can be found in various TV shows that covered the tour. I'm reluctant to think that someone would setup a video recording system on the show to shoot just one song. So keep your fingers crossed for SIT live footage.

And me. After then, I've seen it in loads of stores, even ones that don't sell Maiden CDs. That, and Somewhere Back in Time... Maiden and Metallica become Finland's high-selling pop whenever they're having concerts here. You sometimes even see Powerslave or Master of Puppets in the top 20 charts for no apparent reason...
I wouldn't mind if a video was just part of the show, like Hammersmith in the first DVD. Or just single songs from a few different venues. Like Perun said, anything is better than nothing.
