IRON MAIDEN's latest live album has arrived in Japan for the first time in 8 years! “THE BOOK OF SOULS WORLD TOUR 2016” started in February of this year, but so far the first North American leg (8 performances) → South American leg (8 performances) has been completed, and we are currently in the middle of the second North American leg. This work is the audience album of the ``April 6, 2016 Chicago performance'', the 5th performance of the 11 performances of the second leg in North America. This is the latest recording, freshly recorded less than a week after the live performance. The other day, I introduced the New York performance “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 2016”, but as I mentioned in the commentary, the recording conditions for this tour were quite cold. Being one of the biggest bands in the metal world, they have a lot of recordings, but all of them have a salty, salty sound. I wanted to introduce it to everyone as soon as possible because it was a wonderful live performance, but I couldn't find a recording of the quality that matched it. “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 2016” was the one that finally reached the level that I could introduce it to you, and the sound of this work is absolutely amazing! If Steve Harris's bucking bass is also clear, the three guitars won't become a lump, and you can fully enjoy Bruce Dickinson's relaxed throat. In fact, I was prepared for the salt sound this time as well, but from the moment I heard Bruce Dickinson's voice on "If Eternity Should Fail," my head was filled with "!"s. Speaking of the splendor of IRON MAIDEN's latest live performance drawn with that quality, it's already! Moo!! Although the balance of 6 songs from the latest work "THE BOOK OF SOULS" is as usual, (due to the regret that he did not come to Japan for the previous reissue tour "MAIDEN ENGLAND WORLD TOUR 2012-2014") However, I end up looking for classics. However, the live performance versions of the new songs also betray this feeling. The original song, which had a heavy feel to it, is injected with a lively and dynamic feeling, making it even more dramatic than the studio album. You can almost see the waves of the audience bobbing up and down in time with the beat. Especially in “The Red And The Black”, even though it is a new song, the chorus of “Oh, ohhhh, oh, ohhh!!” rises, and there is plenty of spectacle. Of course, classical music is also wonderful in soothing the dryness of the soul. If not for the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we would have been able to hear it five years ago, as well as classics such as "The Trooper," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "Fear Of The Dark," and "The Number Of The Beast." “Powerslave” has a special feeling of returning home since their last visit to Japan “SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR”. Furthermore, ``Blood Brothers,'' who mourned the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake five years earlier, is also deeply moving. Dickinson is particularly moving. To put it bluntly, it's "the same as usual," but when singers of the same generation are forced to deteriorate with age and have to say "amazing" along with "even at this age," there's no need for such platitudes. Singing voice. Moreover, even though he had just returned from a life-threatening serious illness, it was "business as usual." I never thought I could be so moved by something that hasn't changed. It's a passionate song that pierces your heart as much as you love metal and MAIDEN. And “Children Of The Damned” resonates strongly because it is just before coming to Japan. Normally, I'd say, ``I did it on the reissue tour,'' but it hasn't been performed in Japan for a long time, and this is the first time in 29 years that I'll be performing in Japan. Yes, since that “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR 1987”. A live performance filled with intense anticipation bursts out of the speakers!!! Live at United Center, Chicago, IL.
