Iron Maiden
A Real Live Dead One

THE REVIEW

Here we are, thirteen years after the release of "A Real Live Dead One" published immediately after Dickinson's farewell tour (let's remember that the singer, during this period, leaves Maiden to dedicate himself to his solo career, which will bring him some success but not equal to that achieved with Maiden).

As we were saying, here we are facing this live album, where the production is entrusted to Steve Harris with very poor qualitative results (nothing to do with "Live After Death" which, despite being released back in 1985, in my opinion, is the greatest live album of Iron Maiden).
I was saying, this live album (maybe because I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan) I don't dislike at all, in fact, if I have to be honest, it's really beautiful, first of all, it has an impeccable setlist (perhaps even better than that of "Live After Death") and then Dickinson's vocal performance, in my opinion, is phenomenal especially in the last track "Fear Of The Dark" where Dickinson gives his best.
The rest is dedicated to classics like "Prowler", "Remember Tomorrow", "The Number Of The Beast", "Hallowed Be Thy Name" considered by many to be the best Iron Maiden song. I conclude by saying that this live album (the second-best live of the Iron) in my opinion suffers a lot due to the very poor production (otherwise it would have truly been the best live album of Maiden).

I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know a good part of the Iron Maiden repertoire without purchasing the early records, in my opinion, the best along with "The Number Of The Beast" and "Powerslave".
