which is for you the best Maiden Live album

[hallofcards]

RIR for me.

[maidenmaniac1]

Rock in rio though one of my all time favourites is running free from LAD :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

[Maiden Breeg]

Beast over Hammersmith for me.

 

[desert rain]

LAD because of performing Rime of the ancient mariner and everything: atmosphere, great performance, Bruce speech. And second best is Donington, it's awesome!

 

[ewox]

I voted for RiR !

 

[opaloka]

Maiden Japan for me, as it is full of raw sweat and beer all over (ok japanese beer). A second choice would be LAD even though it is Bruce there...

In my opinion Maiden have made fantastic live albums:

- Maiden Japan
- Beast over Hammersmith
- LAD
- Maiden England
- Rock in Rio
- Death on the Road

The only live albums I don't like very much are Donnington 1992, a real live + dead One. The sound is quite poor IMO and Bruce wasn't at his best then.

To choose the best live album from the above, I would have to say LAD.
The atmosphere, the setlist (Phanthom of the Opera!) and the band performance are just superb.
