Deluxe Edition of the eleventh official live album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
When it comes to live Metal shows, it doesn't get much better than an Iron Maiden concert. They have released a ton of live albums, DVDs and even VHS tapes over the years. From 1981's "Live At The Rainbow" to 1985's "Live After Death" to 1993's "Live At Donington", every era of their storied career has been commemorated with a live release.
Recorded throughout their 2016 - 2017 The Book of Souls World Tour, “The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter” was released on 17 November 2017. Iron Maiden's tour in support of 2015's "The Book Of Souls" album spanned 39 countries and six continents. Instead of picking one show from that tour and featuring its complete setlist, nearly every song on the album is from a different show (two were recorded at Castle Donington, UK). It was produced by Tony Newton, with Steve Harris serving as co-producer. The album makes band's first live album since 2002's "Beast Over Hammersmith" not to be produced by Kevin Shirley.
Since the tour was in support of "The Book Of Souls", six tracks of "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter" are from that album including the 13 minute-plus “The Red and the Black” and the nearly 11 minute “The Book of Souls.” The rest of the set includes hits from throughout their career. No matter where they were recorded, from San Salvador, El Salvador (“The Trooper”) to Wacken, Germany (“The Number of the Beast”) to Sydney, Australia (“If Eternity Should Fall”), the fans are equally enthusiastic. They don't just sing along to the lyrics, they sing along to guitar riffs and instrumental breaks with the same amount of gusto.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson battled cancer prior to this tour, with tumors on the back of his tongue and in his neck. He took some time off to recover, and his voice is back at full strength. His legendary pipes sound as good as ever, having no problem hitting the high notes when needed.
Maiden are such a well-oiled machine, with the triple guitar attack of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers operating at maximum efficiency. The rhythm section of Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain keep everything anchored, with Harris also co-producing the album.
One thing that's extremely refreshing is that after all these years, Maiden are still having fun. To adapt a line from Bon Jovi, on The Book of Souls World Tour Maiden played in front of two million faces, and they rocked them all! You'll hear it in all its glory on "The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter"!!
