The First Night of Live After Death

by Mike Maguire

The wait has ended for a group of high school friends in a small Virginia town. It's October 14, 1985 and Live After Death has finally arrived. They will spend the night driving around a beat-up car and listening to the latest epic release from their favorite band. The groundbreaking quality and attention to detail found on Iron Maiden's first live album will give them an experience that almost rivals actually being in the audience at one of the band's legendary concerts.
No one could have predicted the superstardom Iron Maiden would achieve in the 1980s. In a decade dominated by glitz and polished images, they were an east London heavy metal band with a grizzled monster named Eddie for a mascot. When others were bragging about lifestyles of excess, they were taking lyrical inspiration from nineteenth century poetry and World War II air battles. The First Night of Live After Death shows why a generation of kids in the suburbs of 1980s America ended up worshipping Iron Maiden, and why the band was poised to reach even greater heights.
