Raising Hell got an official DVD release.
Yup, that's what I have. BMG is the same company that distributed the VHS, so it's definitely not a bootleg. My guess is that Maiden didn't bother to get the rights for it and the DVD release was out of their control. This is actually pretty common; for example, lots of DVDs distributed by Eagle Rock are being re-released on Blu-Ray without any control from the artists. It's not a huge deal and most of the bands seem fine with it. Most advertise it on their websites/facebook pages/etc, also, I remember the Raising Hell DVD being listed on the older version of the official site.I own the Raising Hell DVD, lookin' at it right now.
Released by BMG Special Products/BMG Entertainment (a former German company now owned by Sony), ATV Media Group, printed in USA. Doesn't look 100% official, but doesn't look like a bootleg, either.
My guess is that they just didn't think they'd need all the rights for it. DVD wasn't a thing yet so obviously they didn't have a re-release in mind. Probably more convenient that another company releases it for them.I don't remember it was on the official site. I believe you if you say so, though. If the band didn't care to have rights, then they could be ashamed of the magic show, or didn't want to remember it because it was Bruce's goodbye gig.
I don't know what you're talking about. How could they be ashamed of that? It was a metal magic show. It was unique, one of a kind.I don't remember it was on the official site.
