So today at work on my coffee break as I was scrolling my timeline on FaceCrack out of nowhere comes direct from Iron Maiden HQ’s the news that Maiden is releasing a live album to coincide with the recently finished Book Of Souls tour. Here comes the live album!
Whut???
That was my first reaction. My second reaction was to show my pal at work Deaner the Maiden posting as well! This came out of nowhere and what a pleasant surprise as the studio album and tour were stellar!
November 17th 2017 is when this bad boy drops and I CAN’T WAIT!
The packaging looks spectacular! Check out the pics below! 
Must also mention that Maiden is going to stream the Concert Video of this album for free at a date to be determined.
The full show recorded at various points round the globe!
The track listing is as follows!
01. If Eternity Should Fail – Sydney, Australia
02. Speed Of Light – Cape Town, South Africa
03. Wrathchild – Dublin, Ireland

Absolutely….the only North American track on there!
I was originally scouring the location of the recorded songs and hoping maybe a Minneapolis track would have have snuck on there but they probably couldn’t edit me out from hollering Bruce/Arry and Nicko all night!
Ha!

Yikes! More Maiden than you can shake a stick at these days! Looks like a pretty great set, though. It’s been a pretty great year for releases!

Yeppers J! Lots of Maiden! This one I’m pumped about as of course its the tour I seen and the songs from Book of Souls just soared sonically live.
People are gripping about it being to latest album set heavy! I don’t give a shit about that as long as your album in my mind is strong than go for it and Book of Souls was one of those…
Than again these same people will gripe when Maiden shuts it down permanently and nothing comes out….
November 17th….BAM!

It seems strange that folks would gripe about the amount of Book of Souls tracks on a live album named, eh, Book of Souls: Live Chapter. Kinda gives it all away doesn’t it? I tell ya, Deke, sometimes people just like to moan.

I will definitely be getting this – a memento from the tour! There’s a Montreal track but no Toronto. Alas.
The track list is a wee bit different – we didn’t get Wrathchild or The Great Inknown. We did get Tears Of A Clown and Hallowed Be Thy Name. No matter, it’s all good!
Here’s what we saw in Toronto, for comparison’s sake:
If Eternity Should Fail
Speed Of Light
Children Of The Damned
Tears Of A Clown
The Red And The Black
The Trooper
Powerslave
Death Or Glory
The Book Of Souls
Hallowed be Thy Name
Fear of The Dark
Iron Maiden
Encore:
The Number Of The Beast
Blood Brothers
Wasted Years
