This is a compilation of two maiden albums released in 1993. 'A real Live One' (tracks 13-23) was the first maiden album I ever got, given to me as a present. I was sceptical at first, but the album completely blew me away, it's a miracle the album still works 'cos I've listened to it so much. All the tracks are much better than their studio versions, and show why maiden are best appreciated live. An absoloute stonker of an album, with the first twelve tracks also being superb. Now even better value, just get it!

This was the first Iron Maiden Album that i have bought, and because of it i will definately be buying more, just to see if it is possible to get better than this album. some people say that the songs are muffled, they're not, you hear the crowd singing along with the songs, which give it an even better atmosphere. go on people really crank up that volume, stuff the neighbours and feel like your there with Iron Maiden on stage!!!

If you are one of those people who think that a live album doesn't have the quality of a studio product, think again, if you enjoy live albums more than studio releases then this is the ultimate experience. This is the best release to buy if it is your first Maiden purchase then it is a good option, this gives a very good variety and an excellent overvue of almost all the years Iron Maiden have been running (excluding the Blaze Bayley years and the two albums since then).
The best tracks on this release are Tailgunner, Fear of the dark, The number of the beast and Prowler. On "Tailgunner" the fact that it's live means that it is just more raw, open and honest than the clean version on the studio release, "prowler" sounds even better here than on the studio release because Bruce Dickinsons vocals are far better than Paul Di'anno's, "Fear of the dark" draws an amazing and ultimately grand response from the crowd that produces the ultimate atmosphere and "The number of the beast" is the ultimate track on this release, also throughout Bruce Dickinson exhibits his extreme ability to control and manipulate the crowd.
This is a must have for hardcore fans and a good starting point for novices. Buy this now and I guarantee enjoyment within the first five tracks alone.

A fascinating document of the end of Maiden's first Golden Era.
Although this release may only appeal to die-hard Maiden completists, it truly is a powerful monument to the band's towering live performances.

A Real Another One
I could never rate any Iron Maiden album as less than top marks, becasue they are all so good. But Maiden were rightly criticised for over commercialisation at the time because... Read more

WHY IS THIS MASTERPIECE KEPT IN THE DARK?!!?
Why is it that this incredibly undderated album, is thrown out of the spotlight by the other 4 Maiden live albums? Read more

good, but not briliant
This album had one main let down - the sound quality. I know that it's a live recording, but even that shouldn't account for how muffled some of the songs sound. Read more
