This was the first of three live albums Iron Maiden released in 1993, all from the Fear Of The Dark tour.
A Real Live One consisted of songs from the latest Iron Maiden offering, and all albums from Somewhere In Time onwards. This was the split album, along with A Real Dead One, that covered the whole tour.
Now – there are some great songs on here, especially to hear their new material live. Heaven Can Wait, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, and Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter are great live tracks. But seriously – what must rank right up there as one of the worst songs in Maiden history is on this disc, and that really annoys me. Wasting Love – wasting space, if you ask me...
Memories : The only time I saw, and probably ever will see Iron Maiden was on this tour in 1992 at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion. The sound was absolutely dreadful, Kearo didn't want to be there at all, as his first son Jordan had been born only days beforehand, and half of our usual group wouldn't stand with us, as we were harbouring one of our number whom they weren' t getting on with at the time. My God, we were young and useless...
Rating : It's a live album with not a lot exciting about it, apart from the fact that most of these songs we hadn't heard live. 4/5.
