Iron Maiden annonce la sortie prochaine d’un double album live. Nights Of The Dead – Legacy Of The Beast, Live in Mexico City a été enregistré en septembre 2019 devant 70000 personnes. Ce nouveau double album live regroupe 17 titres avec des chansons enregistrées en live pour la première fois ( For The Greater Good Of God…) et d’autres n’avaient pas été joués sur scène depuis des années ( Where Eagles Dare, Flight Of Icarus, The Clansman…).
Alors que le groupe devrait reprendre sa tournée en 2021 (si tout va bien), cette album permet d’avoir un avant-goût des concerts de l’année prochaine.
Sortie le 20 novembre.

Steve Harris commente :
« When the final leg of our 2020 Legacy tour this summer had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the whole band was very disappointed and deflated and we know our fans felt the same. We’d been really looking forward to bringing the show to even more countries and although we’ve been able to reschedule most of our European own-shows for 2021, we thought we’d take a listen to the recordings from the tour so far and see if we could create a definitive live album souvenir that everyone, everywhere could enjoy. I’m very pleased with the results, especially as this set list includes songs which have never made it to a live CD before, such as For The Greater Good Of God, and other older songs like Where Eagles Dare, Flight Of Icarus, The Clansman and Sign Of The Cross which haven’t been included in our live set releases for many years.
We’ve never released a live album from Mexico before and I think this recording does justice to the passion and joy of our Mexican fans who always give us such a fantastic welcome whenever we play there. »
