[edit] Merge

A Real Live One and A Real Dead One's pages could be merged with this perhaps? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Elfoid (talkcontribs) .

No need. They're different things. — Prodigenous Zee - 01:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Its a compilation of those 2. Same artwork, songs, everything. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Elfoid (talkcontribs) .
Indeed. This article says very little/nothing the other articles don't say. They or this are superfluous. --kingboyk 16:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finland dates

It appears that there is a misprint in the A Real Live Dead One's song listing, that has been copied to it from A Real Dead One's... According to the booklets, songs The Trooper and Iron Maiden were recorded at Helsinki Ice Hall (In Finnish "Jäähalli", in Swedish "Ishallen") June 5th, 1992. However, the songs Bring Your Daughter....to The Slaughter, The Clairvoyant and Fear of The Dark (that are on A Real Live One and A Real Live Dead One) would have been recorded in the same place, but on August 27th, 1992. I checked the tour date listing on A Real Live One's booklet (which doesn't, btw, appear on A Real Dead One's booklet) and according to it, Iron Maiden's Fear of The Dark tour (during which all the songs for these live albums were recorded) began from Reykjavík, Iceland 5th of June, while the only Helsinki concert during the tour is on August 27th. By listening both Iron Maiden and the The Trooper from A Real Live Dead One, I am assured that they truly have been recorded in Helsinki ("Scream for me, Helsinki" -chants by the singer) but the date seems to be wrong. --KirvesAxe 14:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I came to ask the same thing. We have both dates appearing throughout articles here (Hallowed Be Thy Name says Helsinki was 5 June). maidenfans.com, which is a very detailed site and which seems to be fairly reliable, also says 5 June. However, I'd go with the tour dates if I had to make a choice (with a note explaining the discrepancy). --kingboyk 16:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
