[@Victor_Mouta]

This is the most amazing solo i've ever heard. Right here, you can see the great big gaping difference which separates industry made music from the real, true music that comes from the heart and reaches right into the heart. In essence, that's what Iron Maiden is, not just a band, but something that comes from the heart of the bandmates and the millions of fans all over the world.

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

That's true

[@saintsandeels7093]

100% Agree 🤘😀

[@Zickezacke1000]

I get a tear from that, every damn time

[@tomassalazar647]

This is why I started listening to Iron Maiden the back in '82, "Run to The Hills" I believe it was on MTV...🎉. PS. Does anyone know what an iron maiden is? You don't wanna know...😮

[@Razor_36]

The pinch harmonic at 3:47 has always been my favorite. I have loved it all of these years.

[@goncalosantos496]

Omg man, you said everything. That pinch harmonic from Adrian is absolutely fantastic. That gold-worthy detail

[@srgsnz62]

The reason why I'm here. It was just done at the right moment. That's what Adrian does. And that's why I love his style. 🎸

[@costas3953]

Simply unbelievable.

[@tylerleavitt2715]

That whole break canonizes Adrian right there

[@TailgunnerATC]

That pinch harmonic is part of the reason I prefer this over thw studio version. So much more punch

[@chrisvanallsburg]

I had the giant Live After Death poster in my bedroom right after this was released. Junior high, 1985.

[@jamesberra713]

I had this concert on VHS. Back in I think '86.. I was 14. I played it every day. All day. I watched every move, drum hit, guitar change.. Adrian Smith couldn't have had his Les Paul tuned better for this show. There guys were masters of riff changes and mixing octaves..

[@joecain8188]

As for me AWESOME 👌

[@heavyaccept]

A masterpiece. No more words needed.

[@Zickezacke1000]

M A S T E R P I E C E for all time

[@stevek758]

I was here.......Best live album ever.........

[@dr.jillalicecooper2587]

Best ever No comparison

[@bigtommy9715]

Idk I always felt Bruce struggled on a few songs on this one

[@JimLagocki]

Maybe u woulda liked blaze singing on this ? Clueless

[@joecain8188]

I love it when I just story to music 🎶 much talent these guys r just so awesome Iron maiden my friend Randy Roberts would two tickets for the show 🙌 ❤️

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

I like this live version way better than the original one

[@maurograssi8763]

Psycho Machinery me too !!!!

[@alanlloyd6322]

Psycho Machinery i was thinking that too. its too f'n slow on the album. THIS is the definitive version, as far as im concerned

[@chinolatino38]

+Psycho Machinery live version is thee best

[@filiproh2625]

exactly i was so suprised

[@jerrybishop2115]

Psycho Machinery absolutely the whole live album👍👍👍👍

[@shawnjohnson3228]

Iron Maiden still hasn't made a bad album to this day. For a band who has been around for 40+ years, that is unreal. It is especially amazing when you think about the musical dynamics of each song. Nothing Iron Maiden does is cookie-cutter, and every album has it's own unique flavor. I love so many other bands, but they all have a clunker or two.

[@matthewbrooks2975]

I wish I was back in 1985!!

[@andre80403]

So do I.

[@REB457]

I wish i was Born in the 80s i like it so much

[@jerrypadgett798]

runazoid even better, I was born in 1970 and was a teen during this time.

[@andygorton5446]

I was 13 this was the second album I bought by them vinyl back them lol see them at donnington.two fans got crushed and drown ed in the mud when gone hit the stage

[@andygorton5446]

Gnr

[@chrisasplen5605]

Took my 12 year old son to see Maiden in Nottingham UK 04/05/2017. What a lucky Dad am I!!!!

[@13DarkMelody]

Chris Asplen I finally got to see Iron Maiden in St. Paul Minnesota at the Excel Energy Center June 16,2017 & I had been waiting to see them since I was 4!

[@Scipio-Africannabis]

Lucky dad? Lucky kid!!

[@atheistconservative6211]

Doin' it right, Chris! 🤘UP THE IRONS!

[@chabeloelinmortal9294]

I took my elder 10 yr and my 6 yr daughters to the IM concerts in México City (September 2019). These concerts were recorded for the Nights of the Dead" Live Album, so we were lucky to be part of the History....

[@etereal05]

I know I read somewhere other parents (maiden fans) saying this, but its real, it happen to me, my 2 sons LOVE maiden music, on their own (makes ME proud, of course), but I think it shows the QUALITY you are talking about... they now happen to be looking for it on their own on youtube, learning the lyrics, asking about the stories... this is paradise!!! :D

[@jerrypadgett798]

Roberto Cerrud My kids grew up listening to Maiden. They had no choice since I was always cranking it loud. They may not always admit it but them and I both know that they love them some Maiden. They will surely recognize Maiden when they hear them. Me and my youngest boy went to The Book of Souls Tour at the Inglewood Forum recently and he was having the time of his life. we both loved it and to me I think Iron Maiden put on a legendary performance. They sounded better than ever. They played lots of older songs from the 80's and my boy was rocking out. Me and my boy will never forget that night.

[@wilsonx54]

2:47 Queue one of the greatest guitar solos of all-time.

[@lesterawilson3]

Long Beach Arena scream for me!

[@speedrabbit2010]

I really like this version of "Powerslave"

[@toddfarrow9541]

Phenominal solos from 3:00 on

[@fabianocarini5919]

This solo of Dave Murray, is Fantastic!!!

[@Muttleytech]

You can really hear Adrian Smith’s guitar in this live version. Amazing!

[@FatMan2539]

why can't the popular music of today be this good /sigh/

[@luismiguel2754]

Because they simply don't produce music anymore

[@massapower]

Loss of creativity thx to dummy pro tools

[@pszavista9099]

the bass line

[@karlcos]

Man, i forgot how good this is!!

[@Victor_Mouta]

That's awesome! I always thought to myself that if I come to have children, I won't force them any kind of music, and I'll let them choose for themselves, but I'll be damn proud if they choose rock 'n' roll ;)

[@bencurtin573]

Definitely one of the greatest guitar solos ever. Also, regarding what Steve plays at 4:08, would that be considered a bass solo as well? I personally always have, since the bass is definitely more prominent and the guitars kind of drop to the back, even though they still remain harmonized and awesome.

[@anger57289]

No - it's just a repeated riff, sexy as it is. Better example of a true Steve solo would be on Stranger in a Strange Land during the first part of the guitar solo, or the intro to Blood on the World's Hands off the X Factor

[@godders231]

probably the best example of Nicko's drumming on this

[@laroccacounty1]

Easiest thumb up all day!

[@User-jk8wq]

3:47 Probably the single greatest pinch harmonic in history

[@etiennegroulx5342]

i am a big napalm -obituary -slayer fan and that album started all my love for big guitars and bass-drums but never underestimated the power of lyrics................ from tha day in1986 and to this day always a maiden members...Loll

[@meregistroporquesi]

man, you gotta LOVE adrian making his guitar scream on his solo!

[@WEEKEND-AT-BURNIES]

This is the version I play, they're all good but this one really catches fire

[@FRANCOHIKARU]

Harrys on this subject shines with the bass. without doubt one of their best songs next to the trooper, aces high, run to the hills ... among other compositions great.

[@sladebeefknuckle8615]

That's the greatest pinch harmonic ever.

[@judasiscariot1335]

This is the greatest version of my fave Maiden song, even kills the album version. This whole album just kills it. Best live album ever. Thank you so much for uploading.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I know Clive burr was fantastic on the three albums he did with maiden, but I can't imagine him doing as good a job in the power slave album as nicko did, very different style of drumming when you break it down and listen to the drums

[@EstebanQuijadaSuazo]

Esas canciones que nunca olvidas

[@scottgeorgeff2896]

Long Beach Arena....... Scream for me!!! Still gives me goosebumps. Coming up on 40 years. Damn. 🖤

[@TheSovereign2012]

La première chanson métal que j'ai écouter dans ma vie :-DDDDD

[@ricardotonkawa8051]

El mejor concierto de mi. Época y lo más. Pesado en metal arriba el Maiden andas Eddy

[@extantia]

I like both but the guitar solo in the interlude of this version is particularly intense-

[@horv72]

Yes , this solo is awesome :P

[@eddyfinnemore271]

just love them drumroles!

[@haightbum]

they did this show after show, always araisng the standard

[@13CIRCLE]

Smith and Murray share the solo. Obviously.

[@jerrypadgett798]

Light Bearer yes and it's so easy to tell them apart. I trip out on how they each have their own unique style of playing and how they interweave them together to make an amazing sound.

[@raysoriv]

I almost cried

[@Truthseeker153]

Magic, Mesmerizing!

[@lamontarnold1612]

awesome sound by far

[@erwinjanssen4720]

After all this years respect from Belgium

[@antoniodias4718]

Powerfull!!!!

[@rockbandimfan]

I have always thought the same

[@0Zolrender0]

Why is it I find Irons live music better than most of their studio stuff? i dont find this with any other band. The studio mixing always makes it sound better. but not irons. They just rock on and sound better and better. UP THE IRONS !!!

[@susanneschroer9901]

UP THE IRONS. 2020 in Köln.

[@spencemccavera5081]

they are one of the rare bands better live

[@telepathicmissionary]

this is what i remember. MAIDEN rules!

[@Piwey]

@aykut2373 and the performance of Nicko Mcbrain is perfect in all this disc. Much more than the studio drums.

[@TheYugo80]

ups............! Iron Maiden Welcome to Jakarta and Bali Indonesia om Feb 2011.....!!!

[@jerrybishop2115]

SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH ARENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gastonillarra6011]

[@lucasragequit]

Amazing Bass Steve Harris Do caralho essa musica ao vivo pqp

[@TailgunnerATC]

Hell yes.

[@0Zolrender0]

@aykut2373 Its a sign of a great band to sound the same or better live than in the studio. all bands or solo acts these days sound crap live. its obvious the studio has "enchanced" their voice to make it better. back in the day that wasnt the case. it just goes to show true talent. Imagine the likes of Irons, metallica, slayer etc entering the world stage these days? they would blow them away with ability. and that ability is lost these days to enhanced studio recordings.

[@jerrybishop2115]

crank it loud!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@jblyttle]

Best instrumental ever.

[@edwardgreat]

and i will strike from the grave

[@forzamicha46]

but open the gates of my hell and i will strike from the grave... ;) genious ! now i am a cold but a ghost lives in my veins...

[@MrJohnrox]

Phantom of the opera and revelations are my favourites on live after death .i bought this album when it was 1st released .What a day for an OOOriginal METLER.Im 40 now still going hard .Iron Maiden better live .Still i love KoRn better .Jonno .NZ the best country in the WORLD.

[@Attacksloth32]

sounds a lot better than the studio version in my opinion.

[@ivanavena]
