Live After Death

Live After Death DVD from Iron Maiden

Modern Guitars has three copies of Iron Maiden's double-disc DVD of Live After Death, the legendary recording of the band's four-night gig at California's Long Beach Arena in 1984. The giveaway features the Iron Maiden DVD that was released February 5, 2008, to coincide with the band's Somewhere Back in Time World Tour.

Disc one contains the recording of this full 90-minute concert. Originally filmed on 35mm, the footage comes alive on DVD resulting in a visually stunning film that far outstrips the usual live video of the '80s. The disc carries two sound options -- the original concert audio specially mixed into 5.1 Surround Sound by Kevin Shirley, Maiden's producer since 1999, plus the original stereo sound track by Martin Birch, the band's producer from 1981 to 1993. Originally released on video in 1985, this has been largely unavailable for the past 20 years.

Disc two has Part 2 of the History of Iron Maiden, continuing on the Maiden story from The Early Days DVD, along with rare and unseen bonus footage in the form of Behind the Iron Curtain, Rock In Rio '85, and 'Ello Texas, all in all giving a total running time of well over three hours. Plus, of course, the photo galleries, relevant promo videos, artwork galleries, tour dates, tour program and other features which all combine to make Maiden DVDs a very special and utterly comprehensive treat for their fans.

Manager Rod Smallwood explains: "The original video of Live After Death has not been readily available for a long time so it's good that we finally got around to this. It was one of the first full concerts to be filmed after the advent of video and of course the live album, recorded on a different night to the video, has long been considered to be one of the seminal Metal live albums and has sold millions since."

This contest has ended. The three winners are: Steve Dadolf, Lori Berman and Joe Cornell. Many thanks to the thousands of Iron Maiden fans who participated.
