“Fear of the Dark,” from the 1992 album of the same name, is as much a showcase for the audience at Fortaleza as for the band. Its thundering, doom-laden vibe is more intense and menacing than its studio counterpart. Disc two commences with another pair of Book of Souls tunes: “The Great Unknown,” captured in Newcastle, and a nearly 11-minute version of the title track from Castle Donington. “Powerslave,” which closes disc one, just smokes, thanks in no small part to drummer Nicko McBrain’s virtuosity. Likewise, “Death or Glory,” from a Polish gig, is raw, stomp-and-swing metal boogie with Dickinson exhorting the ecstatic crowd to “climb like a monkey.” The Book of Souls’ material gets a reboot with a 13-minute read of “The Red and the Black” that erases the memory of the opening numbers. “Wrathchild,” from Killers, delivers the chugging Maiden magic with its three guitarists – Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, and Janick Gers – on stun. Uncharacteristically, the two opening tracks on each disc, “If Eternity Should Fail” and “Speed of Light” pale in comparison to their studio counterparts – the former due to the inclusion of way too much reverb on Dickinson’s vocals, the latter because it feels like a sound check run-through as opposed to an actual concert track. More than half of the material here is made up of performances of Book of Souls material with the songs usually appearing in pairs. Produced by Tony Newton and Iron Maiden founder member and bass player Steve Harris, the album is based on this year’s set list and is a faithful record of the epic show, including six songs from “The Book Of Souls”, the band’s most recent studio album, along with many other classics and fan favourites. “The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter” is a live double-album comprises 15 songs captured during ‘The Book Of Souls World Tour’, which covered 39 countries across six continents during 20, and was seen by over two million fans.
