The Disc IDs attached to the CD release of Alive! 1975-2000 seem to indicate shorter track times (though upon looking at them directly they don't) but the iTunes digital release lists the original longer track times https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id205155994

hibiscuskazenek1: i think i'd give that about 80% confidence.

Yeah, I'm curious as to the origins of those Disc IDs
Every indication I can find suggests the track times are the exact same as the original Alive! release

well, the original release was vinyl, right? so track times are a bit fluid :/
or do you mean the original cd release?
hibiscuskazenek1
Both

could be they've gone back to the master tapes for the new cd rather than just reprinted the old cd, which can make time differences; or alternately just getting someone to do a new cd master can change times ±2s without any real audio change.

All the Disc IDs I've seen for the various pressings of Alive! all support the longer track times
and WIkipedia suggests they were the same for the original vinyl

what kind of time differences are we looking at here? I only checked one track at random, and it was 1s difference, which is well within the margin of error.

Some tracks are over a minute apart in listed time
