Iron Maiden/IL, USA 1985

“WORLD SLAVERY TOUR” is the longest and largest in IRON MAIDEN history. A special live album that conveys the unknown final stage. Its true identity is the audience album of “June 16, 1985 Hoffman Estates Performance”. Speaking of “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR”, it is also extremely famous for its official masterpiece “LIVE AFTER DEATH”. Furthermore, a number of sound sources have been unearthed, such as the professional shot “ROCK IN RIO 1985”, the best audience “SLAVERY MASTER”, and the popular “DEFINITIVE YEARS” series. Some of you may be wondering, “What is so unknown now?” To explain what that means, let’s start with an overview of MAIDEN’s biggest tour in history.・August-November 1984: Europe (65 performances) “DEFINITIVE YEARS” series ・November-December 1984: North America #1 (20 performances) “SLAVERY MASTER” ・January 1985: North America #2 (5・January 11, 1985: South America (1 performance) “ROCK IN RIO 1985” ・January-March 1985: North America #3 (50 performances) “LIVE AFTER DEATH” ・April 1985: Japan ( 8 performances) “MASTER OF SLAVE” ・May 1985: Oceania (7 performances) ・May-July 1985: North America #4 (31 performances) ←★Here★ This is the overall picture of “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR”. A total of 187 performances will be No. 1 in history. This work is “North America #4” which is the final edition. I have also added the representative works of each leg to the schedule, but in fact, “North America #4” was a time when there was almost no bootleg release so far. This work, which is a representative work of “North America #4”, has excellent quality. Actually, the recording artist who made this work a thing is amazing. A taper living in Chicago, in addition to the press CD “SLAVERY MASTER” mentioned above, METALLICA’s Chicago trilogy “THE ECSTASY OF ARAGON”, “CHICAGO 1986 FIRST LEG”, “MASTER OF CHICAGO”, and HEART’s “LYING ON THE FLOOR” The person who worked on it. If you know even one of these, you’ll probably be impressed by his amazing skills. In fact, although the sound of this work is not of the type that is “like a soundboard,” its clear and thick musical tone is very impressive. The twin harmonies and straight blues singing voices are wonderful, but the rhythm section is especially amazing. Nico McBrain’s drums stand out clearly, with plenty of complex structure, and Steve Harris’s pounding bass intertwines with it. This bass sound is the biggest charm of this work. As usual, the volume is high, and the edges of each note are extremely sharp, giving a strong sense of attack. Moreover, no matter how hard it is attacked, it will not break. The sound of the “ki” in the so-called “bakki baki” is very strong. Although there are many recordings where Steve simply sounds good, it is rare to find a recording where the presence of each note stands out to this extent. It is precisely because of such a sound that the geometric “IRON MAIDEN style” combined with Nico is especially vivid. The show drawn with such a sound will bring out the sense of fulfillment and peak popularity of completing the No. 1 tour in history. After all, there were 106 performances in North America alone. Their popularity and enthusiasm are extraordinary, considering that they have spent the entirety of a normal world tour on this tour. IRON MAIDEN is still extremely popular all over the world, but when you listen to this work, even that feels like an afterglow. The moment when he established his reputation was so amazing… While such enthusiasm was brewing, the performance and singing voice were bold enough to overwhelm and conquer it. “LIVE AFTER DEATH” was also a tremendous spectacle, but “North America #4” which surpasses even that is documented with 100% real sound. Right in its heyday. golden age. There have been various highlights in its long history, but in terms of “popularity in the United States,” nothing surpasses the “North American” 4 in 1985. This is a precious gem that has been completely recorded by the will of a famous recording artist. Live at Poplar Creek Music Theater, Hoffman Estates, IL.
