Live After Death is the video compendium to the legendary double-live Iron Maiden album of the same name. Released in VHS/BETA/LASERDISC/VHD/Hi-8 and DVD. Low quality (recorded from a worn out VHS) bootleg DVD's from Brazil have been illegally sold over the past few years, although an official, 2-disc version will be released on [February]] 4th, 2008.

The video captures Iron Maiden in concert, recorded over a sold-out four-night stand at Long Beach Arena in March, 1985. The video contains footage from a completely different night than the album. This video was originally aired as a special on MTV.

Iron Maiden will release it on DVD on 4 February 2008, which will coincide with the start of the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour. [1].The new release will have two mixes of the audio: Martin Birch's version which serves as the original concert audio, and a brand new 5.1 Stereo mix by Kevin Shirley. In addition to the full concert, the DVD will follow up the documentary of the band on 2004's The Early Years with a focus on the Powerslave era of the band, as well as featuring a documentary on the band's tour of Poland and Germany, highlights of their set at Rock in Rio 1985 and other assorted footage.
