The best live album yet, and that is a fact.
Review Score: 








(10/10)
I dont know where to begin describing this masterpiece, Maiden are the true gods of metal, hell music in general. 3 of the greatest guitarists to date: Dave, Adrian and Jannick(yes including Jannick). Nicko pounds the drums away like lightning, while Steve Harris delivers his intense bass playing, and Bruce rocks on vocals like never before. This is his best live performance with maiden. They play some great songs off of here, including 6 of them from Brave New World. The intro is very cool, along with the Wickerman, Ghost of the Navigator, Brave New world, Blood Brothers, The Mercenary, and dream of mirrors. They are all played with greatness, for those of you who caught the BVN tour, you cant miss this.
It is so awesome to here all of them play together like on Wrathchild and 2 minutes 2 midnight, all three of them play a solo, and it is so cool how they arranged it that way. Bruce sings the clansman and Sign of the Cross with pure greatness.(So cool when Jannick pulls out the acoustic guitar with the electric on the clansman and dream of mirrors) Bruce's vocals on Fear of the Dark are just phenomenal, he has never sung that song with as much passion and fire as he does on this album. If anyone and I mean anyone dislikes this album then you need to open your eyes and realize that Maiden will always be the metal gods no matter what, that is a fact. If you disagree, then try to play their songs, with the same style they have, and you will see what I mean. Best live album yet, get it now. If you love metal then you must not be without this album or just this band period. It is dynamite, UP THE IRONS!!!
