The "WORLD SLAVERY TOUR" was the heyday of the king IRON MAIDEN, and it was at its peak. Here is a live album that lets you experience the glorious scene in real life. This work is recorded at the "Basel performance on November 14, 1984". This is a masterpiece audience recording. Speaking of the "WORLD SLAVERY TOUR", the Long Beach Arena, which was the main venue for "Resurrection of the Dead", is famous, but we have also introduced definitive masterpieces such as "SLAVERY MASTER", "STOCKHOLM 1984" and "NEWCASTLE 1984 2ND NIGHT". In order to understand their relative positions, let's start by reviewing the schedule at that time. 1984 ・August 9th - September 1st: Europe #1 (15 shows) {POWERSLAVE released September 3rd} ・September 3rd - November 14th: Europe #2 (51 shows) ←★Here★ ・November 24th - December 21st: North America #1a (20 shows) ←※SLAVERY MASTER 1985 ・January 3rd - 7th: North America #1b (5 shows) ・January 11th: Appearance at ROCK IN RIO ・January 14th - March 31st: North America #2 (50 shows) ←※Resurrection of the Dead (sides A-C) ・April 14th - May 10th: Japan/Australia (15 shows) ・May 23rd - July 5th: North America #3 (31 shows) {LIVE AFTER DEATH released October 14th} This is IRON MAIDEN in 1984/1985. The Basel performance of this work is the beginning. It was the concert on the last day of "Europe # 1" held around the time of the release of "POWERSLAVE". "NEWCASTLE 1984 2ND NIGHT" and "STOCKHOLM 1984" are also live albums of this "Europe # 1", and this work was about two months after the former and 12 days after the latter. This work, which vacuum-packed such a show, is a fresh and neat beautiful recording. Since it has not been pressed, you can understand that it is not the type that advertises "This is the No. 1 tour!", but it is not a type of explosion or roar (at all!), and it is not blurred or boing (completely!). It also absorbs the hall sound, but it does not hide the details, but rather adds thickness and dynamism to the core. Moreover, the sound is fine and full of lustrous beauty, and the core itself is powerful enough to break through the sound, so it is not far away. If we were to compare this feeling to Japan, the prestigious Kinney would be the closest. It is not a soundboard replacement, but rather a beautiful sound that pursues the beauty of the audience. And this work is also the best of the best. In fact, the original sound is slow in pitch, and recently appeared on the Internet as a "correction board!" However, the correction by the person who made it public was weak, and this time the pitch in the second half was raised too much. This work not only aligns such pitches, but also improves sharpness. The sound that felt "beautiful but a little too thick" has been made clear and easy to listen to. This best version depicts a brilliant full show that has brilliantly conquered the first climax of the tour. The set is a familiar one from the press masterpiece, but let's organize it again. Powerslave (5 songs) Aces High / 2 Minutes To Midnight / Rime Of The Ancient Mariner / Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) (★▼) / Powerslave Classics (10 songs) Iron Maiden / Running Free / Sanctuary (★) Magical Seal: The Number Of The Beast / Hallowed Be Thy Name / 22 Acacia Avenue (▼) / Run To The Hills Brain Reform: The Trooper / Revelations / Flight Of Icarus *Note: The "★" mark is the live album version of "Resurrection of the Dead", and the "▼" is a song that cannot be heard in the video version. ... and so on. And the performance that spells out this set is what you should listen to. "Europe #1" was a tough tour with a total of 66 performances in just over three months, and this work is the final day. The tension that makes you feel a sense of accomplishment and liberation explodes, and the goodness of being able to do it without worrying about tomorrow's condition is also full throttle. Alice Cooper sang about the psychology of the closing ceremony before summer vacation in "School's Out," but this work is punctuated by that tension throughout the entire show. On the other hand, it's not a perfect show, whether it's because of excess momentum or tour fatigue. A typical example is "The Number Of The Beast." Here, Bruce Dickinson collapses and the lyrics are no longer coming out. Did he suddenly go blank or get distracted by something else (such as the audience)? The reason is unclear, but the feeling of sadness in the semi-instrumental state of "The Number Of The Beast" is interesting. No matter how many performances you listen to, you will be overwhelmed by the power of the "WORLD SLAVERY TOUR" at its peak. This is a new masterpiece of a live album that allows you to experience the full show with a neat sound. If I could go back in time, I would like to experience that scene again. A masterpiece audience recording of the "Basel performance on November 14, 1984". It is a fresh and beautiful recording, and the hall sound does not hide the details, but rather adds thickness and dynamism to the core. This is the highest peak update board that meticulously mastered and polished the original sound. On the final day of the European leg, which consists of 66 performances, the tension overflowing with a sense of accomplishment and liberation is wonderful, while the blues lyrics fly away in "The Number Of The Beast" is also interesting. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the scene in its heyday in real life. St Jacob Sporthalle, Basel, Switzerland 14th November 1984 PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 (56:17) 1.
