This 2 DVD set was filmed toward the end of 'The World Slavery Tour' at Los Angeles' Long Beach Arena. This was the most ambitious, longest, and most grueling tour Maiden ever experienced. As the 2nd installment to 2004's The Early Days DVD, the 2nd disc features the highly anticipated 'THE HISTORY OF IRON MAIDEN PART II' which gives an insight into the making of the record as well as exploring the creativity and the background pressures created through the sheer hard work and the physical toll that comes with success at this level for a touring band.

Iron Maiden is one of the few bands (maybe even the only one) from the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" that can withstand the more stringent standards even today, despite the fact that the quality of their albums, compared to what they did, especially in the 80s, is somewhat declining. But this video for their second live album, “Live After Death”, shows them in full force, at one of their four sold-out shows in Florida in 1985. The video was taken on a different night than the album itself, but there are no differences. So in both cases, the order of the songs is the same, some songs sound much more powerful live than in the studio performance (especially noticeable in the opening “Aces High”) and the band shows that they have never really bothered with the concept of improvisation (except for the brilliantly built up “Running Free”, interspersed with Dickinson's speaking and screaming). And then there’s a screaming, three-metre tall Eddie, and the boundless energy, the ancient Egyptian-themed stage setting and the catchy songs, especially from their two best albums “Number of the Beast” and “Powerslave” – well, shit, can I give any other rating than five stars? Especially when I remember when I was a young "metalhead" in the second half of the 80s and I used to go to concerts with a denim jacket full of patches?
