Maiden England '88 + History Part 3 coming March 25th!

I think the Number of The Beast Eddie was the background every time they cut to a video interview. With Iron Maiden written next to the Eddie and Live After Death beneath it :confused:
 
No, there was 'Somwhere in Time' Eddie a few times with some flickering effect going on.

(Sorry Brigantium, but you have to expect spoilers if you go into a thread beforehand!)
 
Oh I've got no problem with spoilers, I wouldn't be reading otherwise. I was just saying I haven't had the chance to watch it all since I got it
 
Just got around to listening to the CD. As I feared, it sounds terrible. A major victim of the "loudness wars" -- not to sound like a broken record on that topic, but this is about as bad as any Maiden CD I have heard. On a lark, I ripped the DVD's 2.0 PCM layer and, sure enough, that sounds markedly better. So, if you have the DVD and are considering the CD too, don't get it. Just rip the stereo mix from DVD and use that instead. (You can download DVD Audio Extractor which will do that for Mac and PC, if you want to try that -- see explanation here.) Note that they use Martin Birch's original stereo mix for all the songs except the newly released encores, which Caveman mixed.
 
I've been hearing it in my car for days and it sounds awesome. What's that terrible with Maiden sound?
 
Suffers from the "everything louder than everything else" phenomenon that plagues many recent music releases.* Run a search for "loudness war" to see what I mean. That said, if you think it sounds fine, don't worry about it.

* Ironically, the non-remastered version of Deep Purple's Made in Japan -- from which that quote comes -- actually sounds really good.
 
i just watched the history of iron maiden part 3. really cool. Now the thing i want to talk about is at the end where they say to be continued. that means at some point there will be a Part 4 on No Prayer and Fear Of The Dark, as well maiden will probably re re-release lave at Donington from 1992. I don't want to just jump to conclusions but doesn't this mean we'll be getting a 1990's basses setlist in the future?
 
Spoiler tags look like this:

Code: 
[spoiler]OMG Maiden played Face in teh sand!!!1111one1[/spoiler]

But you only need them for current tour information.

I kinda doubt it. The thing about the recent history tours is that they're really just 'greatest hits' tours with some rarities thrown in.* They already play the big song from the 90's (Fear of the Dark) on every tour now.

*Not a bad thing, all three tours have had awesome setlists.

I would have agreed with you a couple of years back, but then they played almost exclusively 2000s-era material in 2010. It really does seem like they're still willing to take risks.
 
Well I think their intention is to alternate between the 80's hits and the reunion material. The 90's is sorta in the middle, wouldn't work for a nostalgia tour and isn't very recent either. That's just speculation though, we'll just have to wait and see.

I think we will get an only 90s, tour just the 4 90s albums
 
ok. when I posted that I was kina exsited from the thought of it happening. but odds are we'll get a new album next year and maiden will tour with that for a bit then 2016 they would do a 90s tour? im not sure about that. but hey who knows. we just need to hear alexander the great at some point
 
2016 is a long time from now. Before we speculate on what they'll be playing on tour then, lets find out if they're still around.

I would love them to play Alexander live, but I'm not sure they've ever done it
 
They haven't and they won't. They have hinted this many times before.
But I don't think I want to hear it live. I'm afraid it would just ruin the myth surrounding this song.
 
Yeh, I'm swayed that way too --not sure if I want to hear it live. As others have said, some of SiT (ditto Starblind) is just too fragile, for live performance.

That aside: another album, a tour of that, then a 90's "history" tour? --I'm not sure Maiden are going to be around long enough for all this. If this wasn't followed by another album & tour, then are we to assume Maiden would be happy going out (all guns blazing) with a 90's heavy tour!? Doesn't sound like a very good plan.
