The fifth set of CD titles in the reissue series is The Live Collection – Remastered. The albums included in this release are the live recordings Live After Death and Rock In Rio.
Live After Death was recorded at Long Beach Arena, California in March 1985 on the band’s year-long World Slavery Tour which started in Poland in August 1984. It comprised 187 shows around the globe. The album also features additional tracks recorded at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Rock In Rio was recorded on January 19, 2001, on the final night of Iron Maiden’s Brave New World Tour. The performance was in front of 100,000 fans and was subsequently broadcast globally on TV.
The Live Collection – Remastered follows on from the recent releases of The Studio Collection – Remastered, a four-part series of releases covering their sixteen studio album back catalog. The albums feature the audio taken from the 2015 Mastered for iTunes project and the new collections are the first time these versions are available on CD.
As a bonus for collectors, one CD from each batch of releases is optionally available in a specially artwork designed box featuring a 1:24 scale figurine and exclusive patch. In this fifth batch, this will be Live After Death.
