Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City (new live album)

Only for computers, phones, and tablets. Not if you're watching on youtube on a smart TV. Then you get ads that just start up on different parts of the video.

Moral of the story, don't use "smart TV", rather get a 50e Android minicomputer and hook it up.

I heard Samsung is starting to push ads everywhere. Imagine buying a TV for $ and then getting vendor ads as you're watching your own stuff.

Do not support them.
 
I think he does sound a little strained in places but he’s over 60 and they are still playing the song in the original key. I’ll give him a break on that one.
That's the pure reality: the man's voice is getting old and he struggles with some more demanding songs (Aces High being one of them). Of course one has to give him a break since he's old and this is such a hard song to pull. But to say he sounds great or as good (even better) than in LAD is pure denial. Just silly.

True, but he's mixed louder than he was in LAD, and for a good reason. When listening to Aces High on LAD, the best singing is on the backing vocals. Luckily, he warms up and sounds better on the next few songs.

I disagree. My favorite part on the LAD version is precisely the verses and pre chorus. Bruce's attack on those is absolutely bonkers. Still love the chorus' main vocal track (being the hardest part) but it's "just" amazing (as was almost everything that dude sang up to 85). Still my favorite recording live (or studio) I ever heard of that track.

What have you preordered? or if you haven't, why then? I know this is yet again another live-album so soon, but Maiden is my precious.
I have the Limited edition heavyweight 180g Mexican Flag triple coloured vinyl and also the Deluxe hardcase book 2CD on order.
For some reason, I didn't preorder immediately, so the official shop has run out of deluxe book (which is cool and nice as it's similar to what was released for TBOS and TBOS - Live Chapter which I both have aswell).
So, last week I secured preorder for the colored vinyl-edition from the official shop (as it's exlcusive to them and Walmart for the USA) but at the same time placed preorder for the book from the local store. Got both for around 60€ with postages as the local store gave me discount-code.
 
Im just thinking it here, what if they had instead released some show from 2018 instead? They must have recordings from all the stops (as Steve likes to record shows to the vault).
2018 shows, for example the 2 shows they did in Helsinki I think, Bruce sounded much better on Aces High and not so much strained.
This is only 1 song so far..

I haven't pre-ordered it because I am tired of having everything delivered to my door. I want to go out and get it in a record store just because I need a change of scenery every once in a while.

Yep, know the feeling and I would have wanted to pick both copies from local store.
But the collector in me knows that I want the very limited colored vinyl to my collections.

It's annoying to be waiting all the f**ing day to someone knock your door with your parcel isn't it?. (You could go to the mail office to pick it up but it's very difficult in these times there are long cues to do something in the mail office). But hey. If you got the chance to go to a local record store. Go there.
