Live After Death album: Which song do you like best?

[Dick Brucinson]

Which song is your favourite one in its LAD version? (album version, not video)

 

[The_7th_one]

The first time I hear this album, in fact was the first Maiden album I think along with Piece of Mind. I bought the 1st part of a pirate tape, as everyone in those years. I was 13. My favorite was Aces High with the intro.
But I got many many fav songs through the years. Every single song has its epic moments. It's an amazing album.

 

[GhostofCain]

Powerslave!

 

[CA Bryers]

I voted Rime, since that's my go-to version if I'm gonna listen to it, all day every day. BUT, honorable mention goes to 2 Minutes to Midnight for the backing vocal overdubs on the chorus (at least I've always assumed they're studio overdubs, since I've never heard Maiden have perform it like that anywhere else).

My Favorites:
3: Phantom
2: Boots
1: Hallowed

 

[Diesel 11]

"Rime" for me, but that's usually the best album regardless of what it's on. I will say though that both "Revelations" and "Flight of Icarus" eclipse the studio versions on POM and it also featured the band's best version of "Running Free".

 

[Sth2112]

I voted Flight of icarus, slightly over Revelations. Both versions are better than the studio

 

[Vaenyr]

Probably Powerslave.

Gotta give some props though, despite the fact that I enjoy the versions from other live albums more than the respective LAD song, there are certain parts like Bruce's vocals during The Trooper's intro that are seared into my mind. Really cool details throughout that album.

 

[Poto]

Phantom of the Opera

 

[Confeos]

Phantom of the Opera

Absolutely.

 

[Kalata]

I like all songs, but if I have to point out some: Phantom, Running Free, 22, Rime, Icarus, 2 Minutes, Powerslave.

Phantom and Running Free stand out to me.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

Revelations! It blew my mind when I first heard it.

I’m not a fan of Rime from the album. Bruce shouts yeah too much. He does in Revelations as well, but I find it less annoying. I’m glad we got the song again on Flight 666.

 

[GhostofCain]

Phantom of the Opera

That would be my second choice after Powerslave.

 

[Poto]

That would be my second choice after Powerslave.

It's been a long time since I listened to Live After Death, but those two would be my top two. Solid singing by Bruce is the key, many of the other songs suffer a little due to his singing style around that time.
