Iron Maiden/MI,USA 1987 Upgrade

“Somewhere on Tour” is a hidden gem of the heroic IRON MAIDEN’s heyday, but no official live album was left. The famous recording that conveyed the scene has been unexpectedly upgraded. This is where he makes his grand appearance. What is engraved in this work is “March 15, 1987 Battle Creek Performance”. This is a masterpiece audience recording. Speaking of Maiden’s live shows in the 80’s, the traditional official works “Resurrection” and “Maiden England” reign undisputedly, but the more wonderful those two are, the more the “Somewhere on Tour” in between. ” is also a matter of concern. First of all, let’s look back at the panoramic view of such a “famous but unexplored” world tour and check the show’s position. 1986/September 10th-25th: Europe #1 (12 performances)《SOMEWHERE IN TIME’ released on September 29th》/October 3rd-November 9th: UK (27 performances)/November 12th Sunday – December 18th: Europe #2 (27 performances) January 7th – May 2nd, 1987: North America (79 performances) ←★Here★ May 11th – 21st: Japan (7 performances) This is 1986/1987 IRON MAIDEN. Roughly speaking, the circuit divided the world into two: “1986 = Europe” when the album was released, and “1987 = North America / Japan” at the beginning of the year. Of course, the main battlefield was North America, which at the time was aspiring to conquer. The Battle Creek performance of this work was the 47th concert of such a US tour. This work recorded at such a show is so wonderful that even the most amazing techniques are surpassed by maniacs, saying, “Is there such a great recording?” I think that the Battle Creek performance will be the first experience for many collectors, but in fact it was also a show known as a “middle ground” among core enthusiasts. There are two types of recordings, and the one with the better sound was rated as “not the top of the tour, but one of the best.” This work is a re-digitization of the Low Gene Master, which had such a “good sound”, using the latest technology. The sound is overwhelming. It is not impossible to compare with old masters, but it may be better to compare with tour masterpieces. Speaking of 1987, “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN MILWAUKEE” and “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN CHICAGO,” which are familiar to us at our store, reign supreme, but this work is comparable to those two works… no, it could even surpass them. It is. To be more specific, although the straightness of the core is not as good as the FM-like “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN CHICAGO,” this work exceeds the beauty of the vivid resolution down to the minute details and the freshness of the master. (Ah, if only I could hear “Alexander the Great” with this sound!!). The full show, drawn with such beautiful sounds, is a rush of famous songs that can only be seen on “Somewhere on Tour”. The set of this tour changed slightly depending on the time, so let’s organize it again here. Somewhere In Time (4 songs), Caught Somewhere In Time (★) / Stranger In A Strange Land (★) / Wasted Years / Heaven Can Wait Classics (9 songs), Phantom Of The Opera / Iron Maiden ／Running Free ・Magic Mark: Children Of The Damned／Hallowed Be Thy Name／The Number Of The Beast／Run To The Hills ・Power Slave: 2 Minutes To Midnight／Rime Of The Ancient Mariner *Note: “★” mark is A song that cannot be listened to even with the official works “Resurrection of the Dead” and “Maiden England.” …and it looks like this. Basically, it is reminiscent of the final leg of the performance in Japan, and the valuable “SOMEWHERE IN TIME” number is delicious. After this, “Wasted Years” and “Heaven Can Wait”, which will be played for several years, have a fresh momentum because they are new songs, and the rare Adrian number “Stranger In A Strange Land” is also delicious. And above all, “Caught Somewhere In Time”! Although it is a long song of about 7 minutes, it is also a masterpiece among famous songs that runs fast. Indeed, even if it’s just the B-side of the single, let’s release an official live take… and a wonderful performance that brings back to mind the 35-year-old grudge section bursts out of the speakers. From the perspective of “rare songs,” “BELGRADE 1986 (Shades 1228)” is the ultimate, as you can also listen to “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner” and “Sea Of Madness.” There is no better “Somewhere on Tour” live album on the planet. However, from a “sound” perspective, it is unbeatable. And, this work is one of the most likely to win the race. If you’re a MAIDEN fan, you can’t help but explore the “Somewhere on Tour” scene. The latest work that may become the pinnacle of this. UP THE IRONS!! Masterpiece audience recording of “March 15, 1987 Battle Creek Performance”. It is one of the best recordings of Maiden’s unexplored “Somewhere on Tour” in the 80’s, and is a well-known recording that has been re-digitized using the latest technology, and even compared to the 1987 royal album “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN CHICAGO”. Although the straightness of the core is slightly compromised, the beauty of the vivid resolution down to the minute details and the freshness of the master is surpassed by this work. It is a masterpiece live album where you can also experience the precious “Caught Somewhere In Time” and “Stranger In A Strange Land”.
