The Book of Souls: Live Chapter
The Book of Souls: Live Chapter is Iron Maiden's live album and video from the 2016–2017 Book of Souls World Tour, the trek that followed their 2015 studio record of the same name. It came out on 17 November 2017 on Parlophone.
It carries a small change behind the scenes. Tony Newton produced it, with Steve Harris as co-producer, so it is the band's first live release since 2002's Beast over Hammersmith not overseen by Kevin Shirley. The video was streamed on YouTube on 11 November, ahead of release, and both video and audio were offered as digital purchases rather than on physical media.
