Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City

November 20, 2020 · Sanctuary

This album feels like being front and center at an Iron Maiden stadium show, surrounded by thousands of roaring fans. It's a triumphant, high-octane journey through the band's storied catalog, powered by Bruce Dickinson's operatic vocals, Steve Harris's galloping bass, and the iconic twin-guitar attack.

Own this if you want to experience the unadulterated power and communal spirit of one of metal's greatest live acts, perfectly preserved from a legendary tour.
