Maiden box-set due out in december.
An Iron Maiden box-set is due to be released in December featuring three concerts.Reading Festival, Reading, England-23/08/1980
Hammersmith Odeon, London, England-20/03/1982
Reading Festival, Reading, England-28/08/1982
I have bootlegs of all three gigs already, and, if they are the full shows (Which would make 5 CDs) it would be the best boxset ever, as the setlists and performances are great!
And, just remember that nothing is yet confirmed!

Cool! But... DECEMBER?! That's still so far away.
From a link, on the BB of the official Maiden site.
E - From what I heard on your interview on the Al Handleman show you mentioned a box set coming out later this year.
B - I've got to say I am the world's worst at plugging retrospective Iron Maiden releases because I do tend to concern my self principally with a new live album or studio album. Retrospective stuff I'm like well, I guess it's coming out. Not being a massive collector of minutia even my own. I've discovered occasionally will pitch up and suggest I do a track that I forgot I ever recorded. And I go; I remember that one oh yea, hmm that would be kind of cool. I play pretty fast and loose with things like that [laughs]. But I have seen slip cases and jewel cases, and rumors flying around the office. There are these live albums out there, as well. They are going to get released possibly towards the end of the year, which will be a great thing because they are really cool, especially the Hammersmith Odeon one.
E - Are they just two from 1982 or from the whole career?
B - One of them was recorded for the BBC, A Reading Festival with Paul Di'Anno, from the Killers Tour. There's another one that was The Number of the Beast Tour at Reading Festival and there's another one, which is the Hammersmith Odeon show.
E - So we are just talking those three. Nothing from Somewhere in Time or Seventh Son?
B - No, don't think so.
Obviously, B is Bruce.
