A REAL LIVE ONE was released a few months after it's counterpart, A REAL DEAD ONE. While the former contains long-forgotten early favorites, the latter is made up of later hits. While the band doesn't sound as electrified as it does on its 1985 live set, LIVE AFTER DEATH, longtime fans will get a kick out of hearing such early nuggets as "Prowler," "Transylvania," "Remember Tomorrow," "Where Eagles Dare," "Sanctuary," "Iron Maiden," and "Hallowed Be Thy Name." The band also manages to pepper the set with a handful of more renowned tracks, such as "The Number of the Beast," "The Trooper," "Running Free," "Run to the Hills," and "2 Minutes to Midnight."

Though Live After Death remains the strongest documentation of Iron Maiden on-stage, A Real Live One isn't a bad listen at all. Maiden was a band that always believed in giving its audience a monster of a show, and on the whole, the CD (recorded everywhere from France and Italy to Denmark and Finland) does a good job capturing the type of excitement these imaginative gothic headbangers generated on-stage. The idea behind the album is to pick up where Live After Death left off and emphasize material recorded after 1985, and the Brits do exactly that with inspired versions of such favorites as "From Here to Eternity," "The Evil That Men Do," "Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter," and "The Clairvoyant." One could nitpick about various omissions, but the bottom line is that A Real Live One isn't an album Maiden devotees will want to pass up. [On all of Iron Maiden's 1998 reissues on Raw Power a multimedia section is featured on the CD, which includes videos, band biographies, tour date history, and photo galleries.] ~ Alex Henderson

Q (5/93, p.94) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the twin guitars of Dave Murray and Janick Gers are butch and lofty, and Dickinson screeches lyrics one cannot decipher at all..."
