Iron Maiden’s best studio material smokes just about any other metal band out there; live, no other band in any genre even comes close. This essential live document captures them at their post-Powerslave prime blasting out high-energy renditions of the choicest cuts from their first five records to a rapturous crowd at Long Beach Arena (“Scream for me, Long Beach!”). If Master of Puppets is the record you’d play to show people what metal is, this provides the ideal demonstration of what makes metal concerts such a uniquely thrilling experience.
