Description
“Iron Maidens first live record has gone down in history as one of the greatest live albums of all time, and for good reasons. ‘Live After Death’ documents a metal legend at the height of its power…
Recorded at Californias Long Beach Arena (with the Record Plant Mobile) and Londons Hammersmith Odeon (with the Rolling Stones Mobile) during the World Slavery Tour in 84 and 85, the ‘Live After Death’ show centers on the best material from the then current ‘Powerslave’ album, interspersed with other selected catalog highlights.
It is all culled from the bands incredible opening salvo of 5 albums in 4 years. Theres not a single song here that could easily have been dropped, and there is still a pile of masterworks that didnt make the set…
When it comes to sonics producer Martin Birch conjures all his live album expertise, earned on works like Deep Purples ‘Made In Japan’, and deftly captures the spirit of mid-80s Iron Maiden. Its big, its bold, and its nothing short of magical in both vibe and its historical importance. The classic era line-up, Harris-Murray-Smith-Dickinson-McBrain, has by now settled in and honed its attack to perfection.
‘Live After Death’ is as essential to the legacy of Iron Maiden as ‘Made In Japan’ is to Deep Purple or ‘KISS Alive!’ to KISS. Its the sound by which either band would forever be defined and all their work measured. In other words, a masterpiece.” – Maiden Revelations
