Iron Maiden kiittää fanejaan tuesta koronan aiheuttaman keikkatauon aikana ja julkaisee Legacy Of The Beast -kiertueensa ensimmäiseltä osiolta livealbumin marraskuussa. ”Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City” taltioitiin Mexico Cityssa syyskuussa 2019 ja julkaistaan 20.11.2020 LP- CD ja rajoitetussa 2CD- kirjaformaatissa.
”Aces High” tulevalta levyltä on kuunneltavissa alta.
Maiden jatkaa Legacy Of The Beast -kiertuettaan Euroopassa kesällä 2021 ja on vahvistamattomien tietojen mukaan viimeistelemässä seuraajaa vuoden 2015 ”The Book Of Souls” -studiolevylle jälleen kerran tuottaja Kevin Shirleyn kanssa.
Steve Harris kommentoi uutta liveä seuraavasti:
When the final leg of our 2020 ’Legacy’ tour this summer had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the whole band was very disappointed and deflated and we know our fans felt the same. We’d been really looking forward to bringing the show to even more countries and although we’ve been able to reschedule most of our European own-shows for 2021, we thought we’d take a listen to the recordings from the tour so far and see if we could create a definitive live album souvenir that everyone, everywhere could enjoy. I’m very pleased with the results, especially as this set list includes songs which have never made it to a live CD before, such as ’For The Greater Good Of God’ and other older songs like ’Where Eagles Dare’, ’Flight Of Icarus’, ’The Clansman’ and ’Sign Of The Cross’, which haven’t been included in our live set releases for many years.
We’ve never released a live album from Mexico before and I think this recording does justice to the passion and joy of our Mexican fans who always give us such a fantastic welcome whenever we play there.
