Description

Double album on blue vinyls with gatefold cover

Iron Maiden during the Ed Hunter Tour had opened their concerts with a big-screen video display of their upcoming Ed Hunter PC video game before they opened with a blistering rendition of Aces High. The album we have here was recorded at the Greek theater in Los Angeles on the 30th of July 1999 when the band were out on tour with opening acts Puya, Soulfly and Monster Magnet. You can hear that the crowd goes nuts when Aces High starts. When all is said and done, Iron Maiden is one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time and – with three guitarists this tour instead of the previous two – they delivered a rock-solid show that kept the entire audience on their feet throughout. Frontman Bruce Dickinson is one of a kind and – in addition to the fact that he is also one of metal’s very best vocalists – his athletic onstage performance and dramatic delivery were much appreciated by the fans. Basically, the band performed every song from the upcoming “Ed Hunter” triple CD, which contains the Top 20 songs chosen by Iron Maiden fans via the Internet as well as the “Ed Hunter” PC game. Included thereon (and in concert) were “Iron Maiden,” “The Trooper,” “Number of The Beast,” “2 Minutes to Midnight,” “Phantom of The Opera” and many more. Each song was delivered with an incredibly intense and musically perfect delivery that had the audience screaming for more. “There are two kinds of heavy metal,” declared Dickinson, “Heavy Metal and bullshit. I think we know which side of the fence this band is on.” Interestingly, the band also performed “The Clansman”,”Futureal” and “Man On The Edge,” songs originally recorded by Dickinson replacement Blaze Bayley. The live performance and musicianship of Steve Harris, bassist, and the three guitarists (Janick Gers, Adrian Smith and Dave Murray) is simply something that must be seen. And drummer Nicko McBrain was as painstakingly brutal as ever even though you couldn’t even see him behind his massive drum set. This line-up is a combination that is indescribably powerful and incredibly tight. Not to mention incredibly loud. It is heavy metal at its most defined. It is Iron Maiden.
