songs that sound better live

[IRONEDDIE123]

I am just curious and would like to know some songs that you think sound better live. Thanks

 

[Wästed The Great]

Fear Of The Dark. That song definitely gains a lot live.

 

[valacirca]

Drifter, most definitely. Bruce's version from Hammersmith slays the original.

 

[Cosmiceddie]

Well, surely no songs from the 'The Number Of The Beast' album sound live better. They are too perfect to be able to be bettered live.

 

[Genghis Khan]

The title track is really good live.  Firey and entergetic.  It is hard to improve upon the song, but the live version does if only slightly.

so does the beast over hammersmith version of Hallowed Be Thy Name

Flight of Icarus. Like it on POM, love it on LAD.

 

[Murder89]

Revelations.
It's pretty good on the album but only live it can show its true potential.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Flight of Icarus. Like it on POM, love it on LAD.

I haven't experienced it live, but I can only believe this is true.

I'd say 90% of Maiden songs sound better live than in the studio.   But ones that really come alive include Revelations, Dance of Death, Rime, Running Free, Fear of the Dark and Powerslave.

Phantom of the opera sounds excellent on Maiden Japan, even better than the original.

 

[LooseCannon]

Dance of Death absolutely kills live, and I like the studio version a lot.

Certain live boots of ATSS with Blaze murder the studio version.

Fear of the Dark is 10000000% better live, and I love the studio version too.

Revelations has been mentioned. I would commit murder if they offered to put it on the next tour for me.

Another one that I think just blitzes live is Moonchild.

 

[Wästed The Great]

Rime is absolutely spine tingling live.  You get a more emotional feel from it.

 

[Shnazzy]

Rime is absolutely spine tingling live.  You get a more emotional feel from it.

This
and Fear of the dark is, hands down, the best live maiden song

 

[Unknown One]

The live version of 2 Minutes to Midnight on the Somewhere Back in Time tour was heaps better than the studio version.

 

[Ranko]

Iron Maiden, obviously, because of the giant Eddie.

 

[bornless1]

  Blood Brothers live completely changed the way I view the song...way better live.

 

[snake plissken]

The live version of 2 Minutes to Midnight on the Somewhere Back in Time tour was heaps better than the studio version.

It's immense on the LAD video too.

 

[chaosapiant]

I can't think of a single IM song that DOESN'T sound better live.

 

[Prowler_108]

I can't think of a single IM song that DOESN'T sound better live.

I can...Stranger in a Strange Land and Infinite Dreams.  Neither worked.
