New live CD listed for february release

[Spot and Jerome]

I don't have a problem with an artist releasing many live albums, as long as such artist keeps releasing studio albums quite frequently. There are surely bands who, at a certain point of their career, start to put out many live albums, cover albums, compilation albums, unplugged albums, remake-albums and so on, and quite often this goes hand in hand with a decrease in studio releases, but that is not really the case with AC the way I see it.
One can discuss the quality of his studio efforts, maybe, but not the quantity if compared to many other acts.
Also, most of the recent AC live releases have come in video too, while in VHS era this was not as common as it is today. Being strict, the only "proper" AC live albums are AC Show, Fistful and this next NMMNG, a very small number when considering the amount of his studio discography.
Otherwise, we could consider Brutally Live, The Nightmare Returns, Trashes The World, Theatre of Death, Live in Montreaux, Good to See You Again, WTMN video, The Strange Case as live albums too, they make a good bunch of live releases but personally I am very happy AC has done them!

THere is a difference between some of the films you list and others. Brutally Live, and Theatre Of Death were originally released as packages that included audio CDs, and as such they are closer to "proper" live albums then simply live DVD's.
Personaly, I wouldn`t consider TNR, TTW, Strange Case etc as live albums as they were purely VHS/DVD releases, but the ones that were originally released with audio CDs included should surely be part of an official CD discography. Theatre Of Death even came in two different packages, a CD style package and a DVD style package.

I really would like Trashes The World to be released on CD.

[Si]

In a way some of it has been, as tracks on Sony compilation albums!!

[wind_up_toy]

Yup, guess so. It's a quick win just to re-release the concert DVD's with a bonus CD mind. They did it with Brutally Live and I expect a lot of us purchased that again (I know I did).

[Gunner]

I kind of concur with with Si in that I think those that are merely including the live album as a CD audio in the DVD package can hardly be referred to as an official live album release as such.

I just think it is a modern thing to release more live stuff. What is different is that subsequent 'live albums' feature some of the same songs. Historically (in the 70s for example), that wasn't the case, if an artist was putting out a second live album, for example, they endeavoured not to include tracks from the first live album.

"Historically (in the 70s for example), that wasn't the case, if an artist was putting out a second live album, for example, they endeavoured not to include tracks from the first live album."
I think this is generally true, but there were exceptions (GFR pops to mind, right away)

[TeresofBlood]

Consider this: In the seventies, if it was a single LP, they'd only use about half of the setlist for the album. Therefore I'd be easier release a different set of songs. A live double-LP would be a different story.

On Amazon UK the new live disc is listed as a box set...anyone got any info as to if this is correct information.

Anything more than one disc and amazon always seem to call it a box set.

Ooh...an extra CD of MP3s I just hope it's mixed better than the Concert Live release of the Birmingham show (barely audible backing vocals and guitar in many tracks) and then there's the awful fade-in of IBYFO and Elected...

[homerx]

I would hope for High Quality MP3's 320kbps if they must. rather see a DVD or Bounus Show disc. Going to order via Amazon

[RemarkablyInsincere]

Was this released yet or has it been delayed until March 26th?

Amazon lists it as an import with a 2/21 release date.

[James1981]

Well amazon uk are currently listing it as out of stock so I really don't know what's going on.

[Coopcollector]

Swedish stores has March 30 as new release date, don´t know why the date was pushed forward.

[mestreech]

I tried to get one but didn't succeed so I think it's delayed.

[NeilPearson]

Amazon now agreeing with Play.com's release date of March 26th

[ReGorLaTroy]

Now Amazon has a 2 CD "No More Mr. Nice Guy Live" from EMI to be released on 10 April for $21.09.

Interesting. It's almost like ConcertLive heard there was going to be a proper release for the show and clouded the waters by trying to release their version through amazon etc.
Maybe THIS is the remastered "Proper" version.
