Amazon.co.uk Review
In the live arena heavy metal can be implausibly powerful; it can rattle teeth from gums, set ears ringing like the clappers of doom and, when concocted by the gentlemen of Iron Maiden, virtually fracture your skull. Live After Death, meanwhile (a packed double disc set recorded during the band's extensive World Slavery jaunt of 1984 and 1985), is the awesome, irrefutable proof. Of course, expertly hewn slabs of solid rock carefully concocted in recording studios are all very well. But "The Number Of The Beast" and "Run To The Hills" were simply made to be blasted through 152,000 watts of PA system by five young men with undiluted testosterone pulsing through their bulging, whiplash veins. Bruce Dickinson's astounding lung capacity is frankly terrifying at times--he's certainly not a man you'd ever want to meet in a blow football tournament--while the band are virtually aflame. --Ian Fortnam

Scream for me business class... April 8, 2008
This has got to be one of THE all-time greatest live albums...from start to finish it doesn't let up in its barrage of awesome songs and Bruce Dickinson playing the crowd like never before...add to it that immortal line, and you've got yourself Maiden at their very best, which is saying something! (As an aside, my title comes from the fact that Bruce is a registered pilot...how cool would it be to hear that if you were flying!)
This is Maiden at their very very best October 26, 2007
Okay so i am probably a little biased - why?
My first ever Iron Maiden gig was at Hammersmith Odeon on the 1984/85 World Slavery Tour and it will stay with me forever as one of the defining moments in my musical life. This album is everything that is Iron Maiden and I cannot recommend it enough - Up the Irons!
such a good album March 17, 2007

get this if you don't have it!
if you dont know iron maiden, get this, if you know iron maiden and dont have this...get it, if you are a die hard fan and have all their albums...get this again to keep as a clean copy because it is soooooo good!
i really like this album you know...it is bloody good...2 discs of goodness...i wish i saw them on this tour, if i was alive, but i can get some of it...the music!!! it is without a doubt their best live album (rock in rio is also a beauty...2nd best though) and this i reckon could be their best album, ALL their classic tracks...LIVE, when they are always best...and it is class
Finally I will own the full Vinyl copy February 9, 2007

I had the double vinyl album a long time ago and stupidly I sold it amongst the rest of my collection as I was leaving my parents house. I bought a CD version a long time ago but it was a total rip off as it only had one CD and only 12 tracks which sucked majorly......now I have got back into Maiden recently and am busy filling up my MP3 player with their albums and was very excited to find the full original album available here!
I give it five stars for the reasons everyone else gave but mostly for nostalga as this is where I fell in love with Rock (actually it was Iron Maiden at Donnington 1992 on Radio 1 but this was my first live album!)
Absolute rubbish! January 24, 2007

Ha got your attention! Having seen Maiden for the first time live at Earls Court this album has taken on greater resonance for me. This is Maiden live and it is an uncontrollable animal. I have albums by artists as varied as Marvin Gaye to Travis to Daft Punk to the late Johnny Cash and James Brown. I can honestly say that I don't enjoy live albums as a rule as the production values usually hinder the performance and so the recordings generally leave me disappointed. I even think that the great Rage Against the Machine's studio work is superior than their live abum and I have seen them live also so I know what I'm talking about. Maiden are in a different league as if you asked most Maiden fans to name their top 5 albums, this would probably be listed even though it contains none of the air punching hits such as The Evil that Men Do or indeed Fear of the Dark. The album's success lies in conveying the sheer energy of Iron Maiden live. You wonder why Maiden tickets are so difficult to get hold of - well this is why. From Aces High and 2 minutes to Midnight to Hallowed be thy Name and The Iron Maiden, what you have here is a feast for the ears. Like the other reviewers I have owned this album on tape and two copies on cd. You see Iron Maiden live are actually better than their studio work and there's not a lot of acts you can say that about. Buy this now and go for the fast delivery otherwise you may just sh*t yourself in excitement!
