... In addition to "Live After Death". When Maiden one has now a wide range of live albums (this year - 2005 - already appears the new plant, "Death on the Road"), but "Rock in Rio" and "Live After Death" project I think of the mass of the partially not completely successful publications addition! Recorded in 2001 on the first trip to the spectacular reunion it includes numerous songs accordingly their comeback album "Brave New World" (2000). Since I hold the album for one of the strongest Maiden albums ever, I can well understand that six new songs have found their way to the setlist, including the cracking opener "The Wicker Man", the 10-minute epic "Dream of mirrors "and my personal favorite" Ghost of the Navigator ". All class compositions that Bruce Dickinson - as the entire concert - incredibly powerful voice sings. Ever one may safely assert that it absolutely is vocally in top form, and in this respect the 85-disc "Live After Death" exceeds. In addition to two of the better songs from the Blaze era ("Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman") includes "Rock in Rio" of course the usual Maiden classics like "The Trooper", "Run to the Hills", "Fear of the dark "," 2 Minutes to Midnight "and many more. That one on the setlist of course is a personal or other Favourite missed a pity, nevertheless inevitable because Iron Maiden can draw from a well known great treasure of classics! All in all a brilliant live album in breathtaking sound that one of the best (if not THE) presented metal band at the peak of their art. PS Remains to be seen what it has to offer the new live album "Death on the Road", the tracklist is at least that of "Rock in Rio" quite similar!
