Review - :
{$Iron Maiden}'s World Slavery Tour was one of the longest and most extensive tours ever undertaken by a {\rock} band. Lasting from August 9, 1984, to July 5, 1985, and visiting such countries as Poland, Austria, Hungry, Yugoslavia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, England, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Japan, and the U.S., the show included a mammoth setup that replicated the intricate ancient Egyptian scenery of the {^Powerslave} album cover. As a "thank you" to the hundreds of thousands of fans who packed arenas the world over, the double-disc live set {^Live After Death} was issued in 1985. Disc one is comprised of selections from a four-night stand at L.A.'s {~Long Beach Arena}, with disc two comprised of performances from London's {~Hammersmith Odeon}. The album is essentially a best-of of sorts, since most of their singles released up to this point are featured in all of their high-decibel glory: {&"Aces High,"} {&"2 Minutes to Midnight,"} {&"The Trooper,"} {&"Flight of Icarus,"} {&"The Number of the Beast,"} {&"Run to the Hills,"} and {&"Running Free."} Also included are such strong album tracks as {&"Wrathchild,"} {&"22 Acacia Avenue,"} {&"Children of the Damned,"} {&"Phantom of the Opera,"} {&"Hallowed Be Thy Name,"} {&"Iron Maiden,"} plus their two epics, {&"Powerslave"} and {&"Rime of the Ancient Mariner,"} making it a near-complete overview. {^Live After Death} is easily one of {\heavy metal}'s best live albums. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
