I won't spend much words on this live album. Recorded during two live shows in Athens in 1998, it is simply the best live album I've ever heard: perfect sound, often heavier than in the studio albums themselves, clean and clear. You'll understand what being at a IE's concert mean. Raw power.

Barlow's voice is outstanding, this is the demonstration that he doesn't use any electronical devices for the recordings?.he simply sings like God. Schaffer is a metronome with his guitar and so are all the other band members who play with undoubtable precision and power.

I think it's the second best live album after phenomenal Live After Death by Iron Maiden. I've never heard anything live that even compares to these two.


Maiden has more classic set list, here are more to chose from

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one and how good it is. I am not sure if they use any technique in the studio to make it sound almost perfect or whether the band is so awesome. I am not a fan of IE but this album really surprised me. All the songs sound better than in the studio.

Quite a lot of overdubs on this one. Looking at the Alive in Athens DVD it's very obvious. Also there's was (or is) some raw material from the two nights floating around on youtube where you can hear they changed stuff in the studio. But to be fair almost everyone does that to some extent. This is nonetheless one of the best live records.
