The Book of Souls: Live Chapter - Deluxe Edition

If there is something constant in this world is Maiden's live quality, they are professionals, they know their stuff and they will always give their most to the audience, and you can tell that from this album.The band are in top form, and Bruce's voice doesn't seem to have been significantly affected by his cancer.It is difficult to pick any highlight from the concert, as all the tracks are great, perhaps Blood Brothers and Wasted years are the most salient tracks, whereas The Red and the Black, while still being great, it is a bit of a low point.The only slight quibble would be that it isn't a concert as such, like Live After Death was, but a collection of tracks from different concerts. The great thing with Live After Death was the feeling of continuity like you get in a real gig, and that is of course missing here. But overall, if you want a feel of what a great band sounds live, this is it.

This is a very nice Deluxe Edition containing 2 discs inside a book which contains pictures and information from their Book of Souls Tour in 2016 and 2017. If you are a Maiden fan then you have to get this as it contains new stuff from the album Book of Souls live but also some of the classic old stuff maiden have done in the past. Maiden live does not come much better than this .. Buy it you will not be disappointed :-)

I was lucky enough to be at the Liverpool shoe on this tour and while no tracks from that night make the CD this is the exact setlist and has brought back many wonderful memories. The sound quality is superb and the boys are on top form throughout. Stand out tracks include The Red and The Black and Wasted Years! Well worth the purchase!!

A nice mix of old and new songs and the booklet that accompanied the double CD was really good.

I'm going to keep it short. In my opinion, this is Maiden's best live outing since 'Live After Death' in terms of performance and production. However, I have one small niggle. Now, it may be that I've only listened to this in my car, so I may not be getting the full picture, but, do Bruce's vocals sound a little far back in the mix?
