Guitars on it are just out of this world. There are many good (maiden)ones but this 2 pretty much top the list.
Ive seen maiden 6 times now.
One of the greatest live albums  " Live after death."
Martin Birch has also done Deep Purples Made in Japan. The 2 best rec. Live albums so they say..
I saw Maiden in Long beach for the Live after death show. First night
and years later with Dio and Motorhead.
High as fuck. Just fucking Awesome memories

Guitar solo's on that album in particular are superb

Maiden in Long beach, wow, never seen them live, would have loved to have been there!!

Like Dio too, there just isnt really any iconic bands like this around, and not putting on amazing live performances.

Funny things is I saw a documentary about Iron Maiden, is they still tour around the world selling out places but in new locations like Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia where they have massive followings. Kind of ironic they have hardly any following in their home country any more whilst the locals listen to plastic music instead.

Always thought this one best captured the true essence of authentic, no holds barred, balls-to-the-wall, heavy fucking metal.

So many hidden references on "Somewhere in Time":



"Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" has splendid artwork:





Celtic Frost's "To Mega Therion" by the great H.R. Giger:



Slayer's "Reign in Blood":



Venom's "Black Metal", classic and simple:
