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. Prior to the official DVD release in 2008, bootleg DVDs from Brazil had been illegally sold over the past few years. These DVDs were obviously produced using the laserdisc release of the video as the master.

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

Iron Maiden released it on DVD on 4 February 2008, which coincided with the start of the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour.[1] On March 11, 2008 it was certified Gold by the RIAA having sold 50,000 units.[2] The new release had 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 nearly complete concert, the DVD followed 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.

Live After Death is distributed in the U.S. by Universal Music Group/Sony BMG Music Entertainment and in the rest of the world by EMI. It has been labeled with the Parental Advisory sticker due to profanity in the concert and the History of Iron Maiden documentary.
