TNOTB spoken intro, different version (Live After Death)

[Dick Brucinson]

The spoken intro for The Number Of The Beast on LAD differs to the one from the original album version a lot. Any info anybody (old interviews and stuff) about that subject? Why didn't they use the orinal tape in its original tone? Was it done like that for the LAD-release only (possibly later dubbed) or had it been used all tour long in 1984/85? I personally think the LAD-version in its lower tone sounds much cooler than the studio album version.

It’s the same I think just a bit modified i.e., pitch, distortion an effect added etc.

It obviously is based on the original track, but the modified version is really nice.

Is that the version Bruce is mumbling through? Or which one am I thinking of?

You're correct. Is the same version but at a slower speed.

And lest we forget Bruce has had to do it several times live when the tape hasnt worked

Nicko should do it, wow to you boys an’ gals. And the audience laughs in tears like the Jewish crowd before the Pontus Pilate & Bickus Dickus in the Life of Brian

He should have done the intro to Still Life live

 

[MindRuler]

Nicko should do the Alexander The Great intro next tour...that is if they´re going to play it of course.
