Some classics got the axe this round and we welcome in the 90's!
 
Here some pieces of insanity from The Eindhoven Insanity by Gorefest. Prowdly I present to you one of the best death metal live albums ever made. And I also believe this might be the first live album by any death metal band. A monument. Very passionate performance and audience involvement. And: superb drums by Ed Warby. Try to finish these clips. :) The first is the opening song and it has a grooving instrumental part with chilling guitar melody.
Lyrics:
I'm a human being
And I killed human beings
And I did it in my society

Blood on your hands
As you put them near the hole in your chest
Where the bullet struck
And threw you flat into the mud

Come on lads
The bastards soon will be defeated
"God's on our side", is what you heard
When all went black

For god and the country
We raise our heads
All real heroes die
The glorious dead

From this point of view
It all looks very different
As you cough up blood
And an intense cold runs up your spine

No one ever told you
That it could be like this
Dehumanized, no respect for life
You want to cry

For god and the country
We raise our heads
Or ideals that weren't yours
The glorious dead

Misguidance was your undoing
Death stares you in the face
Memories past times flash by
As they declare you dead

For god and the country
You raised our head
Who remembers our name
The glorious dead
And a video-recording of the final song, with lots of changes. Great to see the crowd going nuts.

Glad to see that subpar live albums aren't getting a free pass just because it's Iron Maiden. The 00's join the battle!

The finals begin!
 
Live on the Edge of Forever is an awesome album. Too bad.

Voted for Priest, Scorpions, and Dream Theater. Oh, and Kiss. Because, well, because.
 
It's okay. The production is way too muddy, kinda hard to distinguish the instruments. Plus the setlist could've been more varied.
 
Eliminated:
Score
Radio City Music Hall
Lamentations
Snakes & Arrows Live
 
I'm kind of surprised that Score and Snakes and Arrows Live went.
I just hope The Big 4 doesn't go
 
As a hardcore Rush fan, I have to say Snakes and Arrows Live is one of their weaker live albums. Pretty good setlist, but the performance isn't anything special. Not a great crowd either. Rush In Rio and Time Machine Tour are the better ones from the new era, hopefully CA Live will be great too.

As a hardcore Dream Theater fan, I think Score is simply amazing.
 
Eliminated:
Priest...Live!
World Wide Live
Different Stages
Live in Sofia Bulgaria

The top ten begins!
 
God, can't KISS be gone already?!

I just watched Live After Death again and after hearing all of the recent live recordings, Bruce really sounds bad. :/
 
Fantastic that a live album from the so hugely criticized nineties reached the f**kin' top 10 of the best live albums of all times! Bruce's voice was rough, but at that point Maiden's performances were as energetic and passionate as ever. And the songs were played fast, but I tell you that that was an awesome element from the gigs I went to.

Finally some appreciation! Thank you!

@Mosh: now it's time to show some more respect: it's Donington with one 'n'. ;)
