This week we recap four decades of metal live albums, warts and all. Beginning with standard-setting classics by Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, we ignite the satellite with peak live entries by Slayer and Pantera, extreme perfection by Morbid Angel and Emperor, and more recent entries by Entombed and Night Demon. Black Sabbath and Death also feature, performing the full range of metal glory past and present. See you in the front row—know your Roots!
