THE GREATEST LIVE METAL LP OF ALL TIME!!!.......2003-01-17

I've ALWAYS considered this the greatest live metal release of all time. I don't care what other band you can name, live metal doesn't get (or sound) as good as this, ever. I remember way back when this actually came out, I'm that old!, on Halloween, walking into the record store and seeing a massive wall of Live after Death albums (yes, back when there were records!) all out on display. And what a display! Maiden has always come through with their cover art. You can never get tired of Eddie artwork. I'm a power/melodic metal freak, and have also maintained that Maiden was the first true, power metal band. Hearing them live on here, just blows you away. I don't think there's one night since this came out, when I've chosen to play it, that I didn't have to hear the whole thing: you can't just slap on 5 songs on this and flick over to another disc; you have to hear it in its entirety. If you don't own this, or are a new Maiden fan and want to hear the best musicians in this genre live, at the height of there career back then, then get this immediately! I'd give a 20 star rating if it went that high. ***** 5 STAR LIVE METAL LOUDNESS RATING! Cheers from Scraggy's Tomb! PS... and when you play this, play it the way it was meant to be played: LOUD!!!!!!!

very good live album.......2002-07-11

By the release of this album, 1985, iron maiden were, via the release of Powerslave (1984), the biggest metal band on the planet. live after death captures the power of the band at their peak. From the untro of churchill's speak leading to the rat ta tat of aces high to the extended version of running free which closes the album it does not let up. the track listing leans towards peice of mind and powerslave with eleven out of the eighteen tracks coming from those albums. the majority of the songs are delivered faster than the originals. Special mention must be made be of possibly definitive versions of hallowed by thy name and powerslave. musically the band is on top form which is to be expected considering the length of the world slavery tour which the album is taken from (August 1984 to July 1985). The lung capacity of the bruce dickinson is quite frankly amazing, but his intersong banter is rather odd, for example, his introduction to the rime of the anicent mariner. however the version of the song which they deliver is very good as well as being atmospheric. for a defintive example of maiden live this album has yet to be surpassed

Sanctuary!.......2002-02-14

To me, this album has special meaning, as it was the first metal album I ever bought - it was back in 1986, the month that "Master of Puppets" was released, and I was [drawn] into several years of heavy metal addiction when I was only 13...!

Sound, performance and songwriting on this album are really awesome - Iron Maiden until 1986 (including "Somewhere in Time", excluding "7th Son of a 7th Son") are probably the most CLASSICAL act in Heavy Metal, the one that can't be missed. Since then, the band has continued to expire their creative energy, relying heavily on recycling ideas from ten years ago although the ones from twenty years ago were far superior. Sometimes I think they should listen to their old albums from time to time just to see how imaginative they were then and how many brilliant songwriting tricks they never used again...!

And here is a suggestion to EMI: It is a great idea to include the beautiful Hammersmith Odeon tracks, which were always missing on the CD version. However, the climax of their concerts on the "World Slavery Tour" (and the last of several sets of encores) was "Sanctuary". A live version from this tour was published on the B-side of the "Running Free" single and is probably the band's most powerful and frenetic live recording EVER (possibly, of ANY other band as well). So, wouldn't it be great to include this amazing piece as a final song?

You Must Buy This CD.......2002-01-26

Would you like to see the foundations for modern metal?
Are you sick of the same "NuMetal" sound from band after band?
Have you have ever wanted to give Iron Maiden a spin on your CD player but didn't want your friends to mock your "80s hair metal crap"?
I've got news for you, my friend - your mocking friends can go @&*$ themselves.
I'm in my mid 20s and have just recently discovered the joys of Maiden and I will never look back (or forward, I guess)
This Album contains a must have best-of record of the first 5 Iron Maiden Albums which, live, are presented sometimes better than the original album cuts (especially the songs from the first 2 albums which although really good to begin with while Paul Di'Anno was the singer absolutely shine with Bruce "Air Raid Siren" Dickenson at the helm)
If you love hard music and don't care what others think of your musical tastes - buy this - and then buy it again - and then recommend it to friends
Musical trends are for losers - buy this, then buy "Madonna GHV2" or "The Immaculate Collection" like I did.
Depeche Mode - Metallica - Crystal Method - Johnny Cash - AC/DC
Rock Hard, Baby!!

ALIVE!.......2001-12-10

The release of this live album showed what Iron Maiden was really about. This is in my opinion the best live album with Iron Maiden ever, and one of the best live albums, by any band ever. This was recorded back when Iron Maiden were THE guys in heavy metal, they stood second to none, and this album truly catches their spirit alive.
The selection of tracks is a near perfect, it gives a great idea of the spectrum of their production(at that point) and most of their classics are there, including unbeatable versions of Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Hallowed Be Thy Name, both actualy much better than the studio recordings. What really makes this album is the feel of the audience, you can tell that Iron Maiden really got them involved and that both parts thinks this is a blast. That is the way concerts are supposed to be. Bruce is not singing to TO the audience he is singing FOR them.
Even though this is a live album and thus does not offer up any new tracks I would still consider it one of the finest Iron Maiden albums of all time, and a landmark for heavy metal in the 80's,
