Live After Death

Iron Maiden has been putting out killer music for decades but there's one album that has always been my favorite.

The Live After Death Concert at Long Beach, CA (1985)

It's a live album that really showcases the talent and style of the band.

Pictured is the cover art for the recording.

Iron Maiden

A Brief Look At the Band

Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from east London. They formed in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. Since they started the band has put out 36 albums total. They have also sold over 85 million records worldwide, and that is without hardly any radio or t.v. exposure . Iron Maiden achieved success during the early 1980s and into the late 80's. The bands achievements included the U.S. and UK gold and platinum-selling albums: The Number of the Beast (1982), Piece of Mind (1983), Powerslave(1984), the live release Live After Death(1985), Somewhere in Time in (1986), and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son(1988).

The band has seen some recent exposure with their release of the album, The Final Frontier, released in 2010. Up to year 2009, the band has put on 2000 live shows.

Iron Maiden is also known for it's awesome mascot of thirty years, "Eddie", he appears on their album covers and makes appearances at the shows.

The band members are (no particular order) : Steve Harris(bassist), Dave Murray(guitar), Adrian Smith(guitar), Bruce Dickinson(vocals), Nicko McBrain(drums) and Janick Gers(guitar)

This Is Classic Maiden

If there was only one Iron Maiden album that I could have, even though I like ALL of their music, it would be the Live After Death concert.

This was the first Iron Maiden tape I bought as a kid and when I saw the video for the concert on vhs I was blown away. Since then it has been remastered and restored to the best quality.LAD, Live After Death, was recorded at Long Beach California(1985). The concert is now available on cd, dvd, mp3 and a new remastered vhs version. It's like seeing the show in person with the new remastered releases. Unlike the version I use to rent from the video store as a kid. Just watch this video from youtube and it looks like it was recorded yesterday, minus the outfits and hair...Now's the best time to own this classic Maiden show.

This is some of the best of Iron Maiden right below...

The Art on The Cover

Eddie Rising

linkThe cover art was done by artist,,b> Derek Riggs, and pictures the band's mascot, Eddie, rising from a grave. On the tombstone is a quote from fiction and horror author H. P. Lovecraft's The Nameless City:

"That is not dead which can eternal lie
Yet with strange aeons even death may die."

This is one of the first songs I was introduced to by Iron Maiden, and the imagery of the poster/shirt painted an iconic image that stuck with me. There have been different artists renditions of "Eddie" but this image and a couple others(Aces High, Somewhere In Time, LAD) are my favorites, This being Number One in my book...

Awesome, classic... Iron Maiden Poster....The Trooper"

    My husband is a HUGE Iron Maiden fan. He has loads of t-shirts from them, many dating back to the 80's. He doesn't wear them tho.

    My husband is a HUGE Iron maiden fan. every time they are in paris he gets tickets to go see them. I have to show him this page. personally I enjoy a couple of their tunes, but cannot say I am a big fan. One day he will drag me to one concert maybe :)
  • SudokuNut Nov 27, 2011 @ 1:32 am | delete
    Ah memories! Maiden were always awesome to see live and Live After Death captures the energy perfectly. It was one of the first albums I bought as a teenager, solely because I liked the cover because I'd never heard of them before (or any other metal band for that matter) and I was a metalhead and big Iron Maiden fan from that day on.
  • Close2Art Dec 7, 2011 @ 2:00 pm | delete
    Yes, their artwork was so good on the album covers you couldn't resist!!!!
