Well, I think I may be in a minority but in some ways I prefer Flight 666 (the CD). While the performances on LAD are fierce, and maybe Bruce's vocals a little better (maybe, I'm not 100% convinced though), I actually think the Flight 666 versions of the classics are in some ways better - tighter, sometimes faster, and I have to say I think Nicko's drumming on Flight 666 is unbelievably good - better than on LAD. Oh, and the clarity of the recording is better - a lot better. I know, I know, the fade out of each song is irritating on Flight 666 and it ruins the continuity and illusion that this might have been one gig instead of 12 or whatever.
I know most people think LAD captured Maiden at their very best, but I honestly think Flight 666 nails some of these classics (like Hallowed) better than LAD.
Maybe it's because I am new to Maiden fandom and so didn't grow up listening to LAD.
OK, so I'm putting on my flame retardent suit now...
