The opening track from 1995’s “The X Factor” previews the November 20 package, which was recorded during the band’s three sold-out arena shows in the city in September 2019.
The set mixes tracks from the band’s extensive catalog on the multi-year world tour, which is scheduled to finish next summer in Europe after plans changed due to the global health crisis.
“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,” says bassist Steve Harris. “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.”
“Nights Of The Dead, Legacy Of The Beast: Live In Mexico City” will be available in multiple formats, including Digipack 2CD, Deluxe hardcase book 2CD, Triple black heavyweight vinyl, limited-edition heavyweight 180g Mexican Flag triple coloured vinyl and via Digital streaming and download.
