Ranking Every Iron Maiden Live Album!

[@andrewbeeching2928]

Been watching all of the Maiden Live rankings i could find and honestly you're the only one who i think actually listened to the albums. All the others rank Maiden England really high and don't mention Bruce's vocals at all! His voice is fried on that album. Good job.

Thanks! Ya I find there's so many people who do these and just slap Live After Death and Maiden England to the top because they are both live 80s Bruce albums.

I like the list and generally agree Flight 666 is amazing, but for me Rock In Rio is maiden at their absolute peak. Everytbing about it is just amazing and they played SOTC and dream of mirrors. The crowd are wild too. Such amazing wnergy

[@metalheadcarshow]

Can't disagree with you. Also Bruce's preformance of Sign Of The Corss? Amazing

[@fogzax]

En Vivo and Rock in Rio far and away my favourites

[@metalheadcarshow]

Nice!

[@RustyDarlington]

No way! Beast over Hammersmith at number 9?? I thought the production on it was punchy and just so powerful so it went at my number one 😂😂 still though - great video and great ranking!

[@metalheadcarshow]

Again I love beast over Hammersmith. I forgot to mention, but one thing that album has that not many others do is they had something to prove. Which as you said leads to how powerful it sounds. That with a modern production though? Would be amazing. But also thank you!

Flash Of The Blade wasnt played live on the Powerslave tour and hasnt being played live yet

[@metalheadcarshow]

Thought I read Flash of the Blade and Back In The Village. Just Back in the village. So sure I read Flash of the Blade somewhere

[@RickKing06]

@@metalheadcarshow if you look at the first setlist and the second setlist where they only played Back In The Village on that tour it is only Back In The Village In The setlist

A lot of these surprised me! But cool list, man!! Here's mine: 11. Live at Donnington 10. Nights of the Dead 9. A Real Live Dead One 8. Live After Death 7. Book of Souls: The Live Chapter 6. Beast Over Hammersmith 5. En Vivo 4. Death on the Road 3. Maiden England 2. Flight 666 1. Rock in Rio

[@metalheadcarshow]

Fair lol. I'm pretty surprised to see Live After Death so low on yours. Along with A Real Love Dead One not in last

[@adamrwallis]

@@metalheadcarshow I actually go back to a Real Live Dead One quite a lot. I enjoy it! I probably revisit Donnington and Nights of the Dead the least. Live After Death there are certain songs I love (mostly the bonus tracks), but can't get past the sound and Bruce's voice on it

[@metalheadcarshow]

​@@adamrwallishonestly fair. I listen to Pahtom of the Opera from live after death all of the time. But don't often do tot he album.

[@adamrwallis]

@@metalheadcarshow Rime is a must, too!

My personal ranking is 11 - a real live dead one - poor production quality and a bruce that isn't trying drag this down. Also feels disposable as the awesome 90s stuff is on another much better album 10 - en Vivo - final frontier is my least favourite post 2000 album and while not bad, en vivo doesn't stand out 9 - book of souls live chapter - disc one is epic but looses momentum in the second half. Still great but not my first pick 8 - nights of the dead - i simultaneously love this album because of what it represents as its the same tour and setlist as when i first saw maiden (Manchester arena 6th August 2018) but i also hate it as it was a major disappointment. Something just feels lacking with this but i adore the setlist and the tour due to what it means 7 - death on the road - nice to see the best stuff off dance of deaty get the spotlight. Unfortunately up against some stiff competition 6 - live at donnington - as a massive fan of early 90s maiden (especially npftd) its great seeing it get the spotlight and the extended set is great, especially Adrian coming on for running free. Just wish it was taken from no prayer for the dying so we'd have an awesome live version of holy smoke 5 - maiden england - love the unique setlist and great performance from the band. Just not enough to beat the rest 4 - live after death - everyone loves it and so do i but the bonus tracks feel out of place but without them the album just feels anticlimactic. Still an incredible album 3 - beast over hammersmith - love the focus on early maiden and has so many incredible versions of classics. Plus seeing live versions of another Life and total eclipse is amazing 2 - rock in rio - the version of the Clansman off this is a strong contender for my favourite maiden song ever. Love the focus on brave new world and great performance 1 - flight 666 - greatest live album ever. Definitive versions of every song on it

[@metalheadcarshow]

Nice! The Rock In Rio version of Clansman is underrated
