Killing songs: What the heck... they're all killing songs !!!
This is not an archive review. In fact, this is not an official Iron Maiden release either. It was released as a video after the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son tour in 1989. Then in 1994 the video was reissued on a special package with a CD edition. This is a real collector item… well, one of the many collector items available from Iron Maiden. But this one is quite special for me since the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album was the album that brought me into heavy-metal, and the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son tour was the first time I attended a heavy metal show. Moonchild, The Evil That Men Do, Prisoner, Still Life, Die With Your Boots On, Infinite Dreams, Killers, Can I Play With Madness, Heaven Can Wait, Wasted Years, The Clairvoyant, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, The Number Of The Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Iron Maiden. Not Bad, isn't it ? Unfortunately Can I Play With Madness and Hallowed Be Thy Name are missing on the CD format. I had thought for a long time that Iron Maiden had reached its peak with the album Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and that this release should have been an official one, but with the release of Brave New World they have proved me wrong. The cover is the one they had used for the live single Infinite Dreams taken from the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album. This item is really hard to find now, but this is a must have for everyone who is into Iron Maiden, even if the sound is not as good as the official live releases. And by the way, do not consider this as a review, but rather to inform people of the existence of this item since all the Maiden fans out there won't need a review to get it.
