It was originally only released as a limited edition triple vinyl set, with a 2 disc CD release only in Brazil, Canada, Holland, Italy, South Korea, UK and Japan.[3] It spent a single week on the UK album chart.[4] It was also issued on VHS under the title Donington Live 1992.
Guitarist Adrian Smith joins the band on this version of "Running Free".[5]
Live at Donington became a regular part of the band's CD catalogue with the 1998 reissues. Replacing the original plain white cover, with the band's logo in black, the 1998 reissue uses the original concert poster by Mark Wilkinson.[6] The track list was spread differently, to make room for a multimedia section on disc two.
