Any official recordings of Blaze live with Maiden?

[Shadow298]

wow, an Iron Maiden question here, who'd a thunk it?

anyway, was just wondering why there aren't any live CDs out of when Blaze played in band

we have more then a few live Maiden CDs/VHS/DVD/et cetera with Bruce (maybe some early footage with Paul on some compilation stuff if I recall -Maiden: the Early Years part 1) but nothing that has Blaze fronting the band as far as I recall

am I wrong in this and does anyone else find it odd?

They probably planned to do one on the Virtual XI cycle or something, but the reunion happened pretty quickly after that and any possible plans woulda been canned I guess. A real shame, I would love a DVD or something, and hopefully some live clips end up on a future "era" DVD.

There are some B-Sides on singles floating around. Can't remember what the A-Sides were though. I think "Afraid to Shoot Strangers" was one of them.

According to the site that knows everything, "Futureal" included live versions of "The Evil That Men Do" and "Man on the Edge", and live versions of "Blood on the World's Hands" and "The Aftermath" (plus a live video of "Strangers" as Phloggy suggested) were B-sides of "The Angel and the Gambler".

Apparently there's a version of "Virus" featuring "Sanctuary" with Tony Parsons on guitar.

live versions of "Blood on the World's Hands" and "The Aftermath"

These are on disc two of the best of the b sides as well.

Best of the Beast has Afraid to Shoot Strangers on it. Also, the Japanese X Factor has the b-sides on it. Back when I was doing my Blaze site I used to buy whatever Blaze-related stuff (specifically Wolfsbane) that I could find after he left the band.

I also have a good quality audio bootleg from the X Factour.

I have a top quality bootleg from Brazil in '96
