High Live

LabelVictor
Popularity19.3

High Live is the second live album by the German power metal band Helloween. It came out on 6 September 1996 through Victor, with a US release following on 1 October that year. It was issued in both audio and video formats, and the video was reissued on DVD by Sanctuary Records in 2002.

The record arrived in the same year as the studio album The Time of the Oath, and it follows Master of the Rings from 1994. For anyone who knows the band mainly from their studio work, it offers a way to hear their power metal songs in a concert setting, and the video version lets you see them play as well.
