'Nights of the Dead, Legacy of the Beast: Live in Mexico City was recorded on 27, 29 and 30 September 2019 in Mexico City, during the Legacy of the Beast World Tour.
"Maiden turn tours like Somewhere Back On Tour into genuine spectacles in their own right. Such was the case for 2018/19’s Legacy Of The Beast Tour. There was a Spitfire. There were songs unheard onstage for decades. There was Bruce Dickinson having the time of his life with two flamethrowers as he belted out 'Where Eagles Dare' for the first time in over 25 years. And here, live in Mexico City, there are tens of thousands of mad-for-it Mexicans going audibly batshit for every single second. But no matter where you caught the tour, which leg, or who you were with, this is a brilliant preserved memory that something special happened.
The setlist is a real zinger. You almost want to skip past the standards like 'Aces High' and 'The Trooper' and get stuck into lesser-heard stuff like 'Flight Of Icarus' (not played since the early ‘90s), while the (relatively) new (but not that new) tracks like 'For The Greater Good Of God' and 'The Wicker Man' are towering here. And special mention must go to the inclusion of Blaze Bayley-era cuts 'Sign Of The Cross' and 'The Clansman', two oft overlooked tracks (the latter of which is actually one of the band’s best songs) that are absolutely unimpeachable, exploding with theatrics and electricity.
And therein lies the magic of the Maiden live experience: focusing on the old or the new, they often deliver you something you didn’t know you wanted so much. Captured here with so much thrust, for those that were there this is a memento of a truly incredible tour, in which the band managed to turn nostalgia into something that could still be daring and thrown with a curve. This is how Maiden have maintained for as long as they have, and what makes this... a document of why they are, still, one of the finest bands on Earth." - Kerrang!
