My point is your post was rather passive aggressive. Instead of putting your own opinions across you seemed more interested in belittling mine.

I didn't mean it that way, but I can see how it could be read this way, so sorry for that.

Goddammit, if we’re going to be discussing live albums on a Maiden thread, then someone had better mention Strangers in the Night. There.

Fun useless fact about Made in Japan, rumour existed about suicide on Child in Time, when I was a kid if was a 'fact' told by older guys that some girl shot herself. It's just a grounding noise from Lord's organ.
The idiot 'fact' is refered to even by mainstream portal such as muzika.hr
www.muzika.hr
"A very successful record, platinum in US, recorded at 15th, 16th and 17th of August, released between Christmas and New Year, great musical performance, its uniqueness is in a 'statement' (direct translation - very ambiguous) that during Child In Time one fan committed suicide. Backed by the fact that in the middle of the song one can hear a gunshot, which can be heard loud and clear on the record."
The author does not claim this happened but mentions statements about the event happening (his Croatian is absolutely horrible in style and reminds me of 19th century crap), nevertheless writes down in pretty clear words that the sound on the record is a gun shot.
So yeah, if you happen to run in some ex yugoslav hard and heavy boomer you might hear a most incredible Deep Purple story which is total bullshit. It's likely that whoever started this rumour heard about dubious case of death of a security staff member in Jakarta 1975 and put a twist on it.

No idea, I just read it on forums.

Let me share this one here, I posted it earlier to short-answer thread:
Someone is going to remaster Rock In Rio-show to 4K and 5K resolution, what do you think about this?
Short-answer questions
I have no clue why they didn't just move it all the way up after Moscow since it was obvious it was too much that late in the set. Maybe there was some hesitation in the band about making a pretty huge change to the flow of the set like that? Who knows. Could've also been the crew since maybe...

Probably. This story has been out for twenty years now, I've read it even before I first joined this board in 2004. Maybe the original source isn't on the internet.

I mean they're obviously going to have to utilise upscaling as it was shot in SD video format so tbh 4K is a bit of a reach. I'd be happy with just HD.

I'm afraid there isn't a source apart from the story (without mentioning any source). I found some 2017/2018 stuff from this forum and a more recent topic on Reddit.
It's not that I do not believe it, but usually we know the origin of Maideniana, even if we cannot reach it easily, or at all. It feels incomplete.

I always wondered why Adrian wasn't shown during certain bits of certain songs? Like in the opening fills in ''Wrathchild'' or his solo in ''2 Minutes To Midnight'' (no close-up!) or the double solo with Janick for ''The Evil That Men Do'' (it was probably because of the walk-on Eddie, but still Janick was shown and it was a must to have even brief footage of Adrian).

If I am correct, they have lost footage with Adrian. There are some bits with him, included from other concerts. I may be wrong, but I have this answer in my memory from those days.

It's great for sure. I wish it would be released on Blu-ray in high definition, full screen, and surround sound. I've worked out to this video and Flight 666 countless times. Love En Vivo, too.

Oh man, but who will pay for private jets if they invest in re-release of old concerts

It's already in surround sound. To present it in 16:9 would require them to crop the footage, losing the top and bottom half of the image. Doing this to an HD image upscaled from an SD source would result in it looking like ass, to use a technical term.
The dvd is the best version we're ever likely to get from RiR.

Nah, THIS is the best version:

Is the RiR DVD actually out of print atm? When I search for it I only find used DVDs. If so: I don't get. It's indeed their greatest ever live document.
