Of the 15 or so live albums I own, Live After Death stands alone at the top. Awesome energy, great song selection, and all-around sterling production. Highlights are too many to mention, though the crowd screaming on "Hallowed Be Thy Name" still gives me chills. This was Maiden on top of their game, when they were the biggest metal band on Earth (Sorry, Priest fans). As many fans know, the band went slightly more progressive after this, and later stagnated to the point of being more or less inconsequential, losing Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson along the way. As a general metal fan, though, this album qualifies as a landmark in the genre's development.
