The Book of Souls: Live Chapter

If there is something constant in this world is Maiden's live quality, they are professionals, they know their stuff and they will always give their most to the audience, and you can tell that from this album. The band are in top form, and Bruce's voice doesn't seem to have been significantly affected by his cancer. It is difficult to pick any highlight from the concert, as all the tracks are great, perhaps Blood Brothers and Wasted years are the most salient tracks, whereas The Red and the Black, while still being great, it is a bit of a low point. The only slight quibble would be that it isn't a concert as such, like Live After Death was, but a collection of tracks from different concerts. The great thing with Live After Death was the feeling of continuity like you get in a real gig, and that is of course missing here. But overall, if you want a feel of what a great band sounds live, this is it.

Like all of cds and great packaging cd case

Thank you for my order

What more can you say? Well loved classics along with new tracks from the monumental album The Book Of Souls performed in front of electrified crowds across the globe. Bruce, 'Arry, Dave, Adrian, Janick and Nicko are on top form and show everyone else how it's done. Exceptional packaging and top notch sound quality at a very reasonable price. My only complaint is...WHY NO DVD/BLU-RAY??? Come on Warner, you know Iron Maiden are old school and like to buy physical products! We've all seen the excellent footage on YouTube, PLEASE give us what we want and release it on DVD and Blu-Ray!!!

A nice mix of old and new songs and the booklet that accompanied the double CD was really good.

After Iron Maiden released the hugely successful album, The Book of Souls, they embarked on a world tour that looked like it was going to last forever. With a solid set of songs to promote, the band put on one of their best shows in years and to commemorate this, the band released the latest in their live album back catalogue, The Book of Souls: Live Chapter. Much like some previous releases, The Book of Souls: Live Chapter is a live compilation with performances taken from all over the world. This makes the record a great souvenir for fans but also produces some inconsistencies with the over all performance. The band sound tight through out, barely missing a beat with the three guitars actually produced well enough that we can actually hear the differences between them in the awkward stereo mix. Unfortunately, on some of the tracks you can hear that Bruce Dickinson is clearly struggling to keep up with the songs. I don't know if it is down to his recent bout of ill health or the simple fact that his voice is not as young as it use to be, but songs like Children of the Damned and Speed of Light clearly show Dickinson mumbling his way through the words just to keep the song in the right key. I am not picking on the bands lead singer to be mean, but it is clear his high range is no longer consistent enough to play these songs in this key and it is time for them to tune down for his personal well being (much like they should have done for Blaze Bayley). As for the sound of the album, well this has to be the best sounding Iron Maiden album released since 2000's Brave New World. Where past live albums have sounded horrible compressed and sterile, this one has a lot of power behind it. Nicko's drums in particular have a lot of impact to them, the guitars sound clear as day and have not been panned too hard, this making it a lot easier to hear the three guitarists playing off one another. Of course this is all held together by Steve Harris' bass guitar which sounds about as well as it should. It features the usual high pitch sound but has been mixed just lower enough to glue all the parts of the band together. Iron Maiden fans have likely massed a great collection of live albums by now and are questioning if they really need another one. It is a very valid question, after all who needs another copy of Fear of the Dark, Number of the Beast and The Trooper? I certainly don't and wouldn't mind not ever hearing them again. With that in mind, I wouldn't say that The Book of Souls: Live Chapter is a necessary purchase but it is a pretty nice souvenir from the bands tour and that alone can be a deciding factor in your purchase. It is just a shame they didn't pick nights where Bruce struggle as much. Published by Steven Lornie of Demonszone

This is a very nice Deluxe Edition containing 2 discs inside a book which contains pictures and information from their Book of Souls Tour in 2016 and 2017. If you are a Maiden fan then you have to get this as it contains new stuff from the album Book of Souls live but also some of the classic old stuff maiden have done in the past. Maiden live does not come much better than this .. Buy it you will not be disappointed :-)

£6.99 for a deluxe edition of Iron Maiden Book Of Souls, how can you go wrong. Superb packaged live album. Although there are no songs from Liverpool gig, a timely reminder of how good these guys still are.

Great CD

Sobran las palabras para calificar este nuevo trabajo en vivo de la doncella de hierro. Presentación de super-lujo para un directazo que suena que atruena, unos Maiden en plena forma que son capaces de hacerte emocionar con el repertorio que aquí interpretan de forma magistral. No dudes en hacerte con él. Tendrás la sensación de tener en tus manos un auténtico tesoro.

Llegó muy bien protegido, en excelentes condiciones, y el disco muy bueno. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.
