Well, to be fair, why should I buy "Iron Maiden - Live in Wacken 2016" when I can watch it on YouTube?

Sounds quality. Sucks for the people that live in rural areas where Wi-Fi isn't easily accessible.

I'm mostly shocked by the fact that the camera doesn't cut every single second. This looks good.

This. WTF.  I would pay for this blu ray!  Also, bummed there's no footage from the Brooklyn shows, thought for sure we might get something from the final shows.

Agreed, would have been cool if they were able to get Tears of a Clown on there as well (although I think TGU was better live if I had to choose)

I guess they simply recorded this year's shows, hence Hallowed Be Thy Name missing in favor of the obscure, rarely played over the years Wrathchild.

They couldn't play HBTN on the second leg of this tour due to legal issues. I don't have the link, but many somebody else could expound on this a bit with the details.
 I still wonder why they aren't releasing a dvd/blu-ray of this. Not everyone can stream it.

That release looks intriguing, despite me having not purchased a live CD in ages. And why, oh why, is Wasted Years such a fan favorite?

It's good, catchy, uplifting and live goes down very well. The band must have liked the reaction it got in the history tours.

It's energetic, melodically flawless and perfect in terms of conveying a certain emotion. It was one of the most touching songs I've ever heard in a live setting.

I'm looking forward to the new live album. And by that I mean the video footage.  :metal

Because it's an amazing song and it was incredible as the show closer.

Dude, it slayed when I saw them in Brooklyn.  Maybe  because it was the last song of the set, and last song of the tour, but it was really good.  People singing, Bruce stripping, it was awesome, and a nice sort of "lighter" moment to end things.   (Actually, the whole encore rocked; I couldn't believe how good "Blood Brothers" was live.)

I've always loved wasted years but just feel its gotten enough play over the last bunch of tours that I am over it now.  Of course the performance of it that second night in Brooklyn with Bruce striping was amazing though.

And there's also an extract on Maiden's site:

https://ironmaiden.com/news/article/read-the-first-extract-from-what-does-this-button-do

Now we know the title ends off the book and it's about the 747 cockpit simulator  :D

And about the ending of that extract on Maiden's site... God, what a magnificent asshole Bruce has been to Rod in that occasion  :lol I long to read the book already!

Just reread the press release.

"Produced by Tony Newton and Iron Maiden founder member and bass player Steve Harris, the album is based on this year’s set list and is a faithful record of the epic show, including six songs from ‘The Book Of Souls’, the band's most recent studio album, along with many other classics and fan favourites."


Interesting. No Kevin Shirley? I had to check, but Shirley has done all of the Reunion Era's live albums. Scheduling issue, perhaps?

From Shirley himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC1fSAuslzY

Tony Newton is Maiden's live sound engineer, so it made sense for him to work on the album. Kevin Shirley makes a hint about possible studio time in the clip. :caffeine:

Oooo Bruce is doing a few book dates in the US, including one in NJ.  It's at 1pm so that's kind of tough, but if I could somehow make it work, that would be really cool.

If you decide to go, would you able to get and snag a signed copy? Will gladly pay for the book and admission (and shipping it to Texas).

Pretty cool that they uploaded The History of Maiden 1-3 on their YT page:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDc5Px5f0OE&list=PLCfCU1Ok5NVvGGyHNNA0XitdY4hgjixxr

I wonder if that's in preparation for part 4 maybe?
