En Vivo! Live At Estadio Nacional, Santiago [2 CD]

Okay, first let me dispense with the obvious: this is another 2-CD live Iron Maiden album. There are a great many of these, and most of them are very good to great snapshots of an amazing band. Do you need it? No. Rock in Rio and Flight 666 offer the same sonic weight from the band and energy from the crowd found throughout En Vivo. So why might you buy it? Two reasons, I think. First, you're a huge Maiden fan and you pretty much buy all their stuff, regardless of whether of not you really need yet another live version of Hallowed Be Thy Name. That's me. Or second, you're a Maiden fan and you want to hear some particularly good live recordings you can't get on other CDs, or you're looking for some live versions that are clearly different from those found on other, earlier, works. If you fit this second description, En Vivo would go really well alongside Rock in Rio and F666.For example, Coming Home is a great tune off Final Frontier, and the version on En Vivo is amazing, sonically. It has something of the anthemic power of Blood Brothers or Fear of the Dark, and highlights all members of the band. The Final Frontier and El Dorado are a great opening pair, too, much like Aces High/2 Minutes to Midnight or Wicker Man/Ghost of the Navigator. And you can't get these three songs on other discs.Dance of Death is as good, or better, than what's on Death on the Road - and that's a great version of the song. Fear of the Dark is closer to that on Rock in Rio than F666 (and I think that's a good thing), and yet distinct. Listen to them both and they differ - and are both really good. 'Iron Maiden' offers a slight variation on the main riff, different from F666.When the Wild Wind Blows is actually better live than in the studio - there's another one, along those others I mentioned, that make the album unique. Finally, Running Free's here, which was missing from F666, and I think it's a better live version than what you'll find on Live After Death (I know! Heresy! But the recording/production value is 20+ years newer, and picks up so much more of the song...like Rime of the Ancient Mariner on Live After... vs. the version on F666...the latter blows the older one away). And here's a random note: Adrian has a lot more wah in his solos on this album than others - it offers nice texture you don't hear as readily on RiR or others. I like the difference.Anyway, it's a very solid album that you do not need, and yet will likely enjoy a great deal if you buy it. So Up the Irons and buy it!

First off, don't listen to the whiners with their ridiculous one star reviews - Maiden is by far the greatest metal band on the planet, known not only for their innovative approach to creating great music, but for the sheer power of their spectacular live shows!So what are the "whiners" sniveling about? Oh, a lot of the songs are the same as on previous live albums - really????Of course a lot of songs are the same! - They are the definitive Maiden songs that everyone wants (and expects) the band to play when they see them live! In addition, the band adds the new material from the lastest release,(The Final Frontier), that is being performend for the first time live.THIS IS WHAT A LIVE SHOW IS ALL ABOUT - a document of the bands live performance at a particular time/tour. Thus, the glory of listening to the band evolve during every new tour - some of the songs WILL stay the same (Can you even imagine a Maiden show without Number of the Beast being played? Then people would whine!!!)It's an incredible feat that Iron Maiden is still able to do what they do so well, after all these years - absolutely immpecable musicianship and stellar vocals that never cease to amaze! Very few bands that began in the 1970's can come close to achieving that!This live album is a document of The Final Frontier tour, and marks another point in the history of the band. That is the purpose of a live record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If you feel the songs are "the same", then I am sure you don't go to any Maiden shows, since God forbid, they might play songs you've heard before! I've seen Maiden 7 times so far (with number 8 coming this July), and of course they play a lot of the same (older) material - that's why I go to the show! I want to hear the older classics and the new material!!!!!!!!Point being, this is an incredible live show, and a must own for any true Maiden fan. I own every live album the band has ever released, and LOVE them ALL!!!!!!! Why? Each is different in it's own way, whether they are playing classics or new material, since it provides a "snapshot" of the bands sound/live performance at that time (in this case 2010!) Yes, they do sound different than they did in 1983, 1993 or 2003 - that's the point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't listen to the "same old songs whiners" who don't appreciate a current live document of the world's greatest heavy metal band. If you are a true Maiden fan, you'll love this latest installment of the Iron Maiden live catalog!Up The Irons & Maiden On The Charge 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show histórico no Chile. Item de colecionador

Great album. No band out there quite like Iron Maiden. Up the irons!! \m/ \m/

Iron Maiden recientemente arma albums en vivo de sus tours 'pegándolos' de diferentes locaciones lo cual en mi opinión te ayuda a escoger las mejores versiones posibles de un mismo tema ya sea gracias a un mejor setup del audio o a una audiencia más participativa, menos errores por parte de la banda, entre otras razones. En este caso me parece que el beneficio obtenido es que se le da un flow mucho más natural a la interpretación de los temas siendo todos tocados en una misma noche y creo que sí favorece a la experiencia auditiva.En cuanto a la presentación del album me agradaron las fundas internas que son como de cartoncillo encerado con impresiones de fotos del concierto por un lado y del otro lado el track list con las letras de las canciones, los agradecimientos e información de producción más aparte el listado de las fechas del tour al que perteneció esta presentación. Las etiquetas de centro tienen imágenes de arte que acostumbra tener iron maiden acompañando sus producciones desde prácticamente sus inicios, todas tematizadas a su producción que promovían con el tour que fue el Final Frontier, incluyendo varios de los temas de ese album en esta presentación.En general no soy muy fanático de TODOS los albums de Maiden pero sus clásicos creo que son imperdibles como The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, The Number of the Beast, entre otros, y muchos de ellos estan incluidos (seguro tocan la mayoría de ellos en todos sus tours). Posiblemente sea aburrido para los fans el que incluyan siempre esos mismos temas en estos albums en vivo pero en general me parece adecuado tener varias interpretaciones y decidir cuál rendición es la que te agrada más. La única que me gustaría que incluyeran más seguido es Phantom of the Opera que es de mis favoritas de Maiden que normalmente no se incluye en ninguno de los albums en vivo.Del sonido no creo que haya mucho que decir excepto que esta bastante bien ecualizado, me agradó mucho que se aprecia cada instrumento en los momentos clave que deben resaltar y Dickinson todavía puede alcanzar casi todas las notas sin problema, aunque algunas de pronto deja que las coree el público.El material del disco prácticamente sin ruido por lo que se vuelve una experiencia muy disfrutable poder subir el volumen sin estar incomodandose por pops o ruidillos que algunos viniles no virgenes a veces traen.Recomendado 100% si te lo encuentras a buen precio, y si no tienes nada de Maiden, con mayor razón.

今回私が購入したのはASIN: B006R7NJFS、EAN： 5099930159020のコードからなる商品です。CDケースの縁が透明になっており、１１ページほどのブックレットがついています。写真は充実しており、歌詞も掲載されています。当時の最新作である『ファイナル・フロンティア』発表後の2011年のライブが収録されています。収録曲はそこからの曲と往年のヒット曲が約半分ずつの割合になっています。メンバーも50歳になっていますが、演奏はそれを感じさせないほど安定しており、録音のよさもあってかパワフルに聞こえます。ただ、ライブの構成自体は良くも悪くも完成されており、過去に出た『ライブ・アフター・デス』などと比べるとやや面白みに欠ける印象も受けました。それでも、アイアンメイデンというバンドが好きならまず買って損はしない作品だと思います。

se escucha poca su madre, excelente vinilo para colección
