Fancy version changes: EQ: added a small dose of low bass and 2 db at the 2k area.
Wrathchild the fade in/out before the chorus is corrected. I´ve added the sound from verse two and crossfaded.
I took out the first Sanctuary and took some of the picture at the end of the first version and put that at the end of the second Sanctuary. There was a small wooble in a couple of frames so i changed it. Plus before the Another life starts we will se two seconds more of Iron Maiden instead of A mother and her son looking happily at Iron Maiden
I´ve also added a bit of reverb on the music. Not too much Just to enhance the experience. The band sound so bleak with out so i took some artistic freedom here!
And at last i cut out all inbetween banter from the anouncer Uschi Nerke and fix the bit of Ides of march. I changed the picture so we don´t have to see the tracking text from the VCR.
Happy viewing! T-Mullet
Notes about the original version :
This is the famous appearance of Iron Maiden on Beat Club, a German weekly TV show in the '70's/early '80's that also featured bands like Saxon, Dokken, April Wine and....ABBA. The band plays live for half an hour in front of a studio audience and seems a bit nervous. They make quite a few mistakes throughout the set ('Sanctuary'!). Nonetheless, it's a great, energetic show from Maiden in what I consider their best period. The video is a PAL recording, taken from what I guess is a 2nd generation video tape. Picture quality is pretty good, although there is some colour bleeding. I think I'd give the picture a VG to VG+ rating. Audio quality is great, but in mono. Furthermore, the Maiden concert was aired on Beatclub in two parts, on 2 different dates. For some reason, they decided to show 'Santuary' on both dates... Rather than butcher the videotape to edit one 'Sactuary' out I decided to leave both shows intact.
