There's a lot of energy on this live album. All the best tunes from Dance of Death are on this one. Wrathchild and The Trooper are some of the best versions of the songs since the 80's. Maiden definitly revived themselves quite well since they got back together. The other highlights are the DOD tracks, so powerful and with a lot of energy. The rest are good overall, although there are better versions of Hallowed Be Thy Name (cant top the studio version IMO), Fear of the Dark (A Real Live Dead One), and The Number of the Beast (Live After Death)

the only other complaint is lack of songs from Powerslave and Somewhere in Time. Also, they couldve picked a better Seventh Son track, even though Can I Play With Madness was a big hit. Oh well.

An exciting live album. The band sounds like theyre in their 20s again. The guitar tone is also very heavy and the drums are really technical and have great rythym. Overall, a good live album to add to your collection. But get the other ones as they are a little better, at least in terms of setlist.

The set list is interesting, in includes the best song of Dance of Death (except maybe Montsegur) plus a bunch of classics. In overall, this i ... (read more)
