I received the CDs of the London 2026 Metallica shows earlier this week and they sound great. Raw, live, but with a great production and mix.
If Metallica can do it, Maiden should be able to offer a product of this sonic quality, shouldn’t they?

It would be cool ig, but considering it wouldn't be same as other live albums (no proper packaging and artwork, booklet and notes, it would be probably just a slim gatefold sleeve for 2 CDs to fit with artwork from tour poster) it should cost less - 5-10$ each with possible deals to buy like 10 and get 11th for free or smth. In that scenario it would be cool.

I don't know how I'd roll. Like I've seen RFYL 4 times. No chance I'm buyin all 4 gigs with the same songs. But I'd absolutely buy a proper dvd of every tour, whether I'd seen a show or not.
Ok, so I do know how I'd roll, I'd buy one of these hypothetical shows from every tour, probably one I was at and then maybe later I'd have a drink and get the one that people here said was the best but I'd much prefer a full proper release, album, dvd, extras, disintegrating stickers,* the whole bit.
*I recently unearthed my steel book dvd of En Vivo and the stickers had partially disintegrated. Anyone else? Everyone else? Can we Blame Rod?

I'm sure in post-retirement years we will be getting tons of shows from previous tours, but mostly post reunion (imo that's great cause there are best setlists).
I would really like like a box set including bunch of live rarities - like 10 live albums that would eventually be released separately (like I wait for Eddies archive to be released separately).

Personally, yes. I'd love a CD/.zip/whatever of Chicago 2019 or St. Louis 2017. My first concerts and imo Chicago 2019 was my favorite, being able to relive that would be so fulfilling.

Understandable. Four versions of Aces High on this tour would be pure masochism!
Metallica's Live Metallica downloads are effectively official bootlegs. Deep Purple went with this approach in a similar manner given the power of their live shows, which has always been their trademark. They even created an entire label dedicated to their live archive. Given how important DP is for Maiden, I wonder why Steve never took this approach. It's not like they'd even have to retouch the performances to hide away awkward moments and sloppiness anyway...
