Alive In Athens
Alive in Athens is a live album by Iced Earth. It was recorded on the nights of January 23 and January 24, 1999 at the Rodon Club in Athens, Greece.
- notes - At the conclusion of "Violate," the band plays the opening riff of "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden.
"Colors" was also played at this concert, but wasn't included on the CD due to a track listing mixup. It is, however, included on the reissue of "The Melancholy E.P.".
In 2008, Century Media reissued the three-CD release in a limited mini-LP gatefold sleeve. It included "Colors" as a bonus track on disc 2
