This album wouldn't be so bad if it didn't SOUND so bad -- the mix is horrible! Why Steve Harris took over the mixing responsibilites from Martin Birch (the master!) is beyond me. If they could get Birch to re-mix this, it would be better I'm sure. In comparison to "Live After Death", which is, in my opinion, one of the best ever live albums, this one is just plain pathetic.

In response to an earlier reviewer's comments on this collection missing "Wasted Years", I picked up a CD single from this album that featured that as one of the "B-Sides", and it was awful. Dickinson's voice had really gone by that point.

I love Maiden, but this one really disappointed me. If you want a good live Maiden album, pick up the excellent "Live After Death".
