Scream for me Long Beach Arena!
17 April 2006
A must concert film for all metal fans. Simple. Maiden may or may not be your cup of tea but this really was a legendary tour and era for the NWOBHM titans. A monster year long tour playing 4 or 5 gigs per week... a massive stage set, impressive set list and a killer live sound - reproduced brilliantly for the release. To be honest, there's not one duff track. All songs are from the first album, Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind & Powerslave. The Smith/Murray twin guitar attack looks and sounds awesome along side Steve, Bruce & Nicko's performance. From minute one the (now infamous) Churhill Speech intro tape takes us into Aces High, 2 Minutes To Midnight, The Trooper... Other high lights include The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Iron Maiden (check out the huge Eddie!) & Running Free. This film really should get the re-mastering treatment and released as DVD at some point. This concert MUST be in your collection.
