Iron Maiden/UK 9.16.1984

“WORLD SLAVERY TOUR” was the biggest and climax in the glorious history. The most important original recording is now available. The most important work was recorded at “Newcastle Performance on September 16, 1984”. This is a super-excellent audience recording of the scene vacuum-packed. Why is this work so important? There are many reasons for this, one of which is timing. This is because it is a masterpiece of the “European edition”, which is different from the official traditional edition “Resurrection of the Dead”. Recently, we have introduced some masterpiece titles of the “European edition”, but since this work is the definitive one, let’s start again with the tour summary (if you already know it!, we will talk about the sound quality later in this article) Please skip ahead). 1984/August 9th-September 8th: Europe #1 (19 performances)《”Powerslave” released on September 3rd》/September 11th-October 13th: UK (25 performances)←★Here ★・October 15th-November 14th: Europe #2 (22 performances)・November 24th-December 21st: North America #1a (20 performances) 1985・January 3rd-March 31st: North America #1b/ROCK IN RIO (56 performances) ← *Resurrection of the Dead (A-C sides) April 14th – May 10th: Japan/Australia (15 performances) May 23rd – July 5th: North America #2 (31 performances) [“Resurrection of the Dead” released on October 14] [Best masterpiece recording of the 1984 set, different from “Resurrection of the Dead”] This is the glorious 1984/1985. With a scale of approximately 190 performances, they are second in the top rankings along with “THE BEAST ON THE ROAD”, and moreover, they conquered huge venues around the world with a headlining tour without support performances. It was truly the No. 1 tour with no questions asked. The symbolic official work “Resurrection of the Dead” focused on the second half of the Long Beach performance, but this work, on the contrary, focuses on the first half. This was the fifth concert of the “UK” tour. And this “1984” is the key point. “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR” has changed the set on the way, and the first half of the tour is different from “Resurrection of the Dead”. Let’s organize the contents here. DISC 1: First half of the show (8 songs) Brain Reform: The Trooper/Revelations/Flight Of Icarus Powerslave: Aces High/2 Minutes To Midnight/Rime Of The Ancient Mariner/Losfer Words (Big ‘Orra) (★)/ Powerslave DISC 2: Second half of the show (7 songs) – Mark of Magic: The Number Of The Beast / Hallowed Be Thy Name / 22 Acacia Avenue (★) / Run To The Hills – Maiden of Steel: Iron Maiden / Running Free / Sanctuary * Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard at the Long Beach performance. …and it looks like this. It is evenly selected from all works other than “Killers”, but the key point is “22 Acacia Avenue” and “Losfer Words (Big ‘Orra)”, which were not played in Long Beach. In particular, the latter is an extremely rare song that has not been played at all on subsequent tours. Of course, this song can also be heard on the B-side of the official single “Run to the Hills”, but since it is a valuable instrumental song, I am also curious about the flow of the show. In fact, the first half of the show was solidified with two new works, “Power Slave” and “Brain Reform,” and the second half was only “Mark of Magic” and “Virgin of Steel.” Although the basic structure is in line with “Resurrection of the Dead,” the number of songs has been increased, making the composition colors of the first half and second half even more vivid (the disc division of this work also follows this sharpness). . [One that completes the “80s British collection”] Now, even with the delicious “European edition” of rare songs, this is a live album that is a masterpiece. After all, this work was recorded by the famous master “Crazy S.”. It is a historical item that was digitized directly from the original cassette. It is a well-known story among MAIDEN collectors, but most of the British recordings of “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR” that are considered masterpieces are made by “Crazy S.”. The DEFINITIVE YEARS series introduces masterpieces from Sheffield, Ipswich, Leicester, Oxford, and more. Just the other day, his latest work “NOTTINGHAM 1984” was very well received, and this work is a masterpiece that reigns at the top of the “Crazy S.” collection! If you have experienced the previous “Crazy S.” masters, I think you have already made up your mind, but in fact, the sound of this work is the best. The audience’s proof is engraved in the realistic clapping and snare tones, so you can’t mistake it for a soundboard, but as you listen to it, such distinctions become irrelevant. The core that penetrates the clear, sunny atmosphere is extremely thick and on, and the fine details and poor FM broadcasts are no longer a problem. The twins that do not mix even when intertwined are clear in the dimension of vibe, the dense bass drum kicks up the five organs, and the gallop bass slams into the six organs. This is a work that can only be called a “masterpiece,” but in fact, the appearance of this work is a great achievement for the entire Golden Age collection. With this work, the “80s British pinnacle collection” was completed. In order to understand the meaning of this, let’s take a look at the top audience recordings of each tour. ・3rd tour “DEFINITIVE OXFORD 1982” ・4th tour “EAGLE’S HAMMERSMITH” ・5th tour: Newcastle performance ←★This work★ ・6th tour “CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN LEICESTER” ・7th tour “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1988: 25th Anniversary Edition” What do you think? Is it? Although it is a spectacular lineup of prestigious audience recordings of the best masterpieces on each tour, all of them are made in the UK. Up until now, the representative works of “WORLD SLAVERY TOUR” have only been recorded in North America, but with this work, it is now possible to experience the “home country of the golden age” at the peak sound at once. In other words, these five works are “The Best of DEFINITIVE YEARS”. Even if you focus only on this work, it is a superb original recording by the master master “Crazy S.”, and it is the best one to enjoy a “European version” different from “Resurrection of the Dead.” When combined with other masterpieces, it becomes a masterpiece that can become the cornerstone of a “British collection.” An absolute masterpiece that is unavoidable at every point.
