Iron Maiden Set To Release New Live Album ‘Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City’
Written by Johnson Stephen on October 2, 2020
Parlophone Records are pleased to announce the release of Iron Maiden’s new Double Live album on November 20th 2020 Worldwide [through BMG in the USA]. Containing over 100 minutes of classic Maiden music and available in multiple formats, ‘Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live in Mexico City’ was recorded during the band’s three sold out arena shows there in September 2019 and is a celebration of their ‘Legacy Of The Beast World Tour’ which began in 2018 and will finish Summer 2021 in Europe.
Iron Maiden founder and bass player Steve Harris comments ”When the final leg of our 2020 Legacy Tour had to be cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, the whole band was very disappointed and deflated and we know our fans felt the same. We’d been really looking forward to bringing the show to even more countries and although we’ve been able to reschedule most of our European own-shows for 2021, we thought we’d take a listen to the recordings from the tour so far and see if we could create a definitive Live album souvenir that everyone, everywhere could enjoy. I’m very pleased with the results, especially as this set list includes songs which have never made it to a Live CD before, such as ‘For The Greater Good Of God’, and other older songs like ‘Where Eagles Dare’, ‘Flight Of Icarus’, ‘The Clansman’ and ‘Sign Of The Cross’ which haven’t been included in our Live Set releases for many years. We’ve never released a Live album from Mexico before and I think this recording does justice to the passion and joy of our Mexican fans who always give us such a fantastic welcome whenever we play there.”
