IRON MAIDEN, the biggest metal player in the world, has finally begun to move. Super Live Alba, where you can enjoy the renewed “LEGACY OF THE BEAST World Tour”, is born! An urgent release has been decided from the Shades label so that you can experience the super-dreadnought quality as soon as possible !!
It is “May 31, 2022 Kaunas performance (Lithuania)” that is imbued with such a work. It is a transcendental audience recording that vacuum-packed the whole story. This work is a shocking new masterpiece that is currently being highlighted by collectors around the world. Even though the tour has just begun, it is a super recording that has been praised by enthusiasts as “This is the best masterpiece of the tour!” And “There can be no more sound !!”. Before the quality you care about, first of all, the position of the show. The other day, the video work “ZAGREB 2022 (Shades 1532)” was well received, but this time it is also the first report of the live album, so let’s review the whole view of “LEGACY OF THE BEAST World Tour” again. prize.

This is a panoramic view of the “LEGACY OF THE BEAST World Tour”, which has been (unexpectedly) over 5 years. The schedule that had been suspended due to the new Corona Pandemic will be restarted in 2022. While “ZAGREB 2022” the other day was the first day, the Kaunas performance of this work was the fourth concert nine days later.
Such a show will be remembered as “the day when the superb recording was left” in the future. In fact, this work is so amazing. Roughly speaking, it’s like a sound board … No, it’s even more amazing. That’s the awesomeness that you can listen to even if you continue with the latest official “NIGHTS OF THE DEAD”. Of course, there are differences in timbre, so if you say “I can’t tell you apart!”
Is it a feeling of separation that is particularly shocking? Strictly speaking, it doesn’t feel as stereo as the official one, but the three guitars are still beautifully divided. Even in triple harmony, you can clearly see the slightly different touches and picking timings for each person. Of course, the same instruments are beautiful, so the rhythm section and vocals cannot be mixed. Audience recording has a physical limit that can never be exceeded as long as it goes through space … but it sounds like it has been overcome at once.
Furthermore, “???” appears in the big cheers. There is a thick and loud cheer between songs, but the volume balance is small as a whole, and you can’t hear it at all during the performance. On the other hand, the promised chorus and “Hey! Hey!” I’ve experienced it in the past if it just feels farther than the performance sound, but how can a balance change that fits perfectly with the performance or tune be created? Perhaps the goddess of recording just smiled, but it embodies the ideal form that seems to delusion even the SF mystery mystery function, “Can recent recording equipment control cheers with AI?”
The full show of the 2022 version of “LEGACY OF THE BEAST World Tour” is drawn with such an unexperienced and evolved sound. Let’s organize it while comparing it with the 2018/2019 set that you are familiar with in “NIGHTS OF THE DEAD”.
● Continued songs from before the break (11 songs)
・ The Number of the Beast / Run To The Hills
・ Piece of Mind: Revelations / Flight Of Icarus / The Trooper
・ Others: Iron Maiden / Aces High / Fear Of The Dark / Sign Of The Cross / The Clansman
● New material songs (4 songs)
Brave New World: Blood Brothers
・ Tactics: Senjutsu / Stratego / The Writing On The Wall
…… And it looks like this. Roughly speaking, there is no change from the first day “ZAGREB 2022”. It seems that he didn’t feel the need to change even if he stepped on the number of venues, probably because he had repeated pre-rehearsals very carefully. The performance is also amazing. In the case of IRON MAIDEN, the 4th performance is when the engine warms up and begins to enter full-power operation mode. In fact, the ensemble of this work has a wonderful feeling that the set is familiar to the body but has not yet become accustomed to it.
The most shocking thing is Bruce Dickinson’s singing voice. In the “Tactical” world, which is folded with the first three songs, the singing itself pulls the song, and the profound vocalization and acting ability explode. On the other hand, even if the difficult songs “Run to the Hills” and “Aces High” are folded at the end of Angkor, that high note is sung tightly. You may get tired of the tour in the future, but at this point it even sounds like you’re better than three years ago.
Development of on-site PA, evolution of equipment, accumulation of recording know-how …… There is no culture that makes human progress more vivid than audience recording. The sound of this work reminds us of such “the cutting edge of 2022”. It’s great just to “listen to the latest Maiden live”, but you can enjoy it with the first experience sound that has never been seen by humankind. If you stick to the fact of “SBD or AUD”, this work is not a sound board. On the other hand, if you are particular about “how good the sound is”, this work is more than a sound board. The latest absolute work that stands in such a dimension. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content!
UP THE IRONS !!!
★ A transcendental audience recording of “May 31, 2022 Kaunas Performance (Lithuania)”. The sound is as awesome as going on the “sound board” and continuing with the latest official “NIGHTS OF THE DEAD”. Even in triple harmony, you can clearly see the slightly different touches of each person, and even if the rhythm section and vocals overlap, the vividness does not mix at all. It is the latest absolute board that you can enjoy the new song of “Tactics” that you can not hear in “NIGHTS OF THE DEAD” with the official-class transcendental sound.
