Notice how Bruce points up just a couple verses in. He's telling the sound booth that he can't hear his voice and needs the mic louder. True professional. And he flies the Boeing Jet around the world for tours. Hats off to that guy.
@@papalaz4444244 correct -- before there were ear monitors it was a very big deal in loud places to be able to hear yourself in those wedges -- your voice can get drowned out easily by the music that it could throw off your whole concentration and ability to keep pace, especially with the tempo that Maiden plays at.
I'd figure that the monitors are at a set angle to maximize hearing on the floor. Go up 6 ft and you'll lose some volume since his higher frequencies are fairly directional.
I was so blessed to listen to 70s & 80s Heavy Metal music. And to hear & see these metal gods perform live, was like having a resurrection of unbridled fury & ecstasy, all rolled into a phantasm.
the sands of time are running loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
England gave us all a lot of amazing things, including the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and tons of other awesome bands. But, England also gave us their greatest offering ever--Iron Maiden. Up the irons!!!
@ms51675 Still trying to find out if this was an after mix in a studio or not. That's 82 and that is truly amazing even if it is with the equipment back then. By far one of the best recordings of this song to have his bass that up front. Harris is incredible, it's nice to hear him that clear. Don't find many live videos from the 80's that sound this good.
By Christmas Day next year, the name alone of this band will be 50 years old. Whatever your view on them, you cannot deny their influence and longevity. Indeed, my older brother introduced me to their first album when I was a kid.
@@utubnagain Totally agree. For me they are seven of the best metal albums of all time. I can never pick a favourite from those. Basically whichever one I listened to last!
This was their 1st performance of this track, the audience hadn't even heard it on an album as the album hadn't yet been released. Such a great track. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I first heard this in Chicago in 1982 at a venue called ChicagoFest where I was working as a photographer. From the opening chime to the last note played I was mezmerized . Everyone not with the band or label who never heard this just stood and watched at the amazing performance and I don't think I lifted my camera for the entire 8 minutes or so. Iron Maiden is an incredible band but this track is just so epic, it is on another level.
There is a very specific reason Iron Maiden is considered one of the greatest live bands of all time. Go to a concert and witness it in person and you will understand.
One of my favorite Maiden tracks and in my opinion this is the absolute best recorded performance of it. Performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in front of a small intimate crowd. The band and the audio technicians nailed this entire show. Hard to believe it was recorded in 1982 with how good the sound quality is. You're in for a treat.
@@madman1366 You're right...when I say were, I'm just thinking back to the times I saw them live in the 80's. Think I saw them eight times, more than any other band. Dave Murray is one of my heroes.
Saw them live. The last time with my sons. It was awesome They are one of the most important metal bands ever. Rock in Rio is a must for you. The crowd is crazy good.
I love Iron Maiden!!! I'm nearly 60 & I've been lucky enough to enjoy such classic bands!!!I'm soooo excited for September I'm going to see these legends live in Sydney Australia supported by Killswitch Engaged. The last of the great rockers!!! Thank you for sharing loved it ❤️
Iron maiden was formed in 1975, and had already undergone a number of lineup changes by 1982. Lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson joined the band in 1981. Talking of small venues, they started off playing in pubs, although they have continued playing in smaller venues as well as the likes of stadia. I saw them in Ayr Pavillion in south west Scotland in 1990.
I remember just sitting in my room listening to this album, I was 13 or 14. I thought I was discovering a great singer. lol. Apparently I wasn't the only one and to this day Bruce is still one of The Best!!!!
I first heard them in 1988, when I was 13. I loved everything about them, the guitars in harmony, the galloping feel to their songs and Bruce's emotionally charged voice. They were way better than anything else I'd heard at the time and I couldn't wait to hear more. I became obsessed with their 1985 album 'Live After Death' simply because it was live. It took me into what it'd be like to experience them at a concert and I couldn't wait to see them for the first time. I'm just glad I got to grow up with really fantastic music.
Bruce "The Human Air Raid Siren" Dickinson joined Iron Maiden in 1981 and they are still touring as of 2024. With the same energy, presence and power. Bruce did reach the age limit and cannot pilot himself the private jet of the band anymore, and he did lose a bit of his extreme vocal range and endurance after beating throat cancer, so he's not able to hold that 26 seconds high note anymore, and he "only" has a 5 octaves range anymore. His biography is astonnishing, he's an Olympic-level fencer, a philantropist, flew the 747 jet of the band himself into war zone to bring relief supplies, has written children books, has owned his own flight school and flying company, and sooooo much more. Dig in, dig deep, you won't regret it !
There's nothing like a Maiden concert and nowadays seeing 3 generations from families at concerts shows their enduring appeal. I saw Bruce and his band recently and he stills holds that stage.
I told you you have to see them live. Finally you listened :). And the older they get the better they are on stage. Actual Iron Maiden is pure joy to watch.
This was Bruce’s first tour with Maiden. I was fortunate enough to see them on this tour. They were opening for The Scorpions. They completely stole the show. I don’t believe they ever opened again.
They also had Girlschool on the bill in Houston. Who were pretty good too. I saw the Corpus Christi show and Houston show on this tour. Corpus didn't have Girlschool.
@kennywilkus1632 I bought the tickets to the Houston show before they announced the Corpus show. I really wanted to see Maiden since I missed them in S A. the year before with Di'anno. I had already seen Scorpions on the Lovedrive tour. Luckily, I've seen Di'anno live at a bar with about 100 people there. His band was Icarus Witch, which played for him.
Watching Bruce live always makes me think he was a hyperactive child! He has so much energy! I mean come on he runs around like a crazy man on stage and still has those great vocals while doing it! Insane!
It can be argued that this song is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, in rock history. Certainly, this performance, from 1982, it simply incredible. Great reaction
These guys are top tier musicians. Intelligent and professional. The two guitarists have to be in perfect sync at times and it takes focus. You can't be jumping all over the place at those times. Bruce Dickenson is a powerhouse. And is actually pilots a jet liner. I love his solo Man of Sorrows. A metal like ballad Great reaction. Thanks!
A lot of people forget that this song was written and recorded only a few months before this Hammersmith performance, which took place prior to the album's release. So it's not like they'd played it live for years. It was brand new.
A long time ago, before TH-cam reactors, we had audience reactors. They reacted by buying this album and making it one of the best selling albums ever and creating history.
Maiden is one of the best live bands you’ll ever see! I know they’re the best I’ve seen! The only thing I don’t enjoy about this video is that they didn’t show enough of Adrian Smith during his solo. He’s the man!!!! Thanks for doing this!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️
They are professionals they don't need to get people hyped the music does the talking. Great reaction. One of my five all-time favorite EVER. 🤘 UP THE IRONS 🤘
Bruce Dickenson. Singer. Iron maiden. AND - - - He undertook a career as a commercial pilot for Astraeus Airlines, which led to a number of media-reported ventures such as captaining Iron Maiden's converted charter aeroplane, Ed Force One, during their world tours. Following Astraeus' closure, in 2012 he created his own aircraft maintenance and pilot training company, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presented his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music from 2002 to 2010, and has also hosted television documentaries, authored novels and film scripts, created a beer with Robinsons Brewery and competed at fencing internationally
Live is great, but even better in person. Feeling the base in ur chest, the vibe from the band, the vibe from the fans, the full atmosphere, its addicting and why Ive been going to concerts since I was 10 in 75. Yes, I had the coolest Aunt, I blame her, lol. Thanx, Peace
in the 1970's Iron Maiden played regularly at a venue where I grew in Kingsbury NW London. Called the Bandwagon it was a 700 capacity hall that was attached to a pub called the Prince of Wales. Unfortunately it's no longer there & is now a Tesco Metro or similar. "From small acorns mighty oaks do grow".
Can't believe that as a POM you've never heard your own national band. The Maiden started back in the late 70s and are still around today. One of the greatest bands ever.
My favourite maiden song! I’m a 55 year ld women and have loved Iron Maiden since I was about 12. The guitarist Janick Gers lives near me and I often see him in our local shopping centre or local village having a pint. Very quiet guy!! You wouldn’t believe he as a member of one of the biggest bands in the world…. Iron maiden started around the mid 70s when I was 6. You need to watch them do their tours when the lead singer Bruce Dickinson pilots the boing 757 ..now that something!, Apparently Bruce Dickinson is worth around £130 million dollars alone
And this would have been filmed with a whole motion picture team, multiple 16mm mopic cameras, multiple cameramen, assistants handling film magazines, sound and lighting techs and a director. Imagine editing that. Have a great day M.
I used to hang out with these guys in East London way back in the late 70's and early 80s. We all drank and messed about in the Ruskin Arms pub and they were all the most humble decent blokes you could meet. I used to play football ⚽️ with Stevie Harris for a local amateur team (Melbourne FC) and trust me he was as good as that as he is on the bass. I must have seen them 30 times in the Ruskin Arms and smaller venues before they made it. They are still the most decent and humble dudes around. Stevie still keeps in touch and is still a massive West Ham Utd fan!!! Lookat his wrist band! Up the Irons ⚒️⚒️⚒️.....Bruce by the way is not a football fan....i met him whilst he was the singer in Sansome and it was obvious he was going to join Maiden and he is an incredibly intelligent bloke⚒️
My buddy won a trip to London in December 1988 from radio station 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia. We discovered that Iron Maiden was playing at the Hammersmith Odeon that week with the Killer Dwarves and luckily got tickets. A lifetime memory I'll never forget. I still have the Odeon security staff sweatshirt I bought from one of the security dudes for 20 quid! Up the Irons! 😎🔥🎸
Those of us who love metal and hard music are thankful for you British every day! They called it the “British invasion “ so many of the best metal bands that got the genre going are from across the pond somewhere!
My very first concert ever was Iron Maiden when I was 12 in 1983. Saw them again in 1985 and a 3rd time about 10-12 years ago. They sounded just as good all those years later. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Back then to play at the Hammersmith Odeon was the pinnacle for many bands. The Hammersmith Odeon is an iconic venue or the Hammersmith Apollo as it's known today .
The most energetic concert I have even been to was Maiden in 1985. I saw them a few years ago and they seemed just as energetic, but I wasn't quiet as such.
Amazing reaction as always! An incredible live performance! The whole song is excellent, but this one gets me because it was live and the impeccable timing is unreal!
Live After Death is the best live album of all time. Saw them on Ozzfest and absolutely killed. When the giant Eddie came out on stage it was incredible. Best live band I've ever seen.
This whole concert is on Spotify and most of the songs are on the tube. 22 acacia avenue and the prisoner are sooooo good. Highly recommend those two. The whole concert is like a performance of a lifetime kind of deal
This was professionally shot, intended for VHS release, but the firm that was hired f'ed things up so badly that the project was scrapped. The film sat for many years and some of it was actually lost or destroyed. That's why obvious parts are missing, like no focus on Adrian's solo in this song.
This song had already been played for the first time in a "secret" concert in December 1981 at the Ruskin Arms in London. There is the bootleg from that night on TH-cam to hear what it sounded like. They also presented other songs such as Run To The Hills at that same concert and on dates prior to the December one they presented Children Of The Damned and 22 Acacia Avenue. All 3 came out on The Number Of The Beast in '82 along with Hallowed Be Thy Name. Regarding the album, it only came out in March of '82, so most likely, there were people at this concert (the first of the promotional tour) who already knew this song.
The audience never heard this before. The album wasn’t yet released. Historical night!!
They definitely did a _Number_ on the audience that night.
They were an opening band on this tour...they were not after.
And if my memory don't fail me that was the last time they opened for someone because they outshined the main attraction.
@@VinceEmbryI think they opened for Priest on that tour.
@sharkhawk23 I saw this tour, and they were opening for the Scorpions. They did open for Priest that same year.
Notice how Bruce points up just a couple verses in. He's telling the sound booth that he can't hear his voice and needs the mic louder. True professional. And he flies the Boeing Jet around the world for tours. Hats off to that guy.
Technically he wants the monitors up louder, but yes. There will be a wedge monitor at each of the points he stands in, I suspect :)
@@papalaz4444244 correct -- before there were ear monitors it was a very big deal in loud places to be able to hear yourself in those wedges -- your voice can get drowned out easily by the music that it could throw off your whole concentration and ability to keep pace, especially with the tempo that Maiden plays at.
I'd figure that the monitors are at a set angle to maximize hearing on the floor. Go up 6 ft and you'll lose some volume since his higher frequencies are fairly directional.
Dio
Dickenson
Halford
In that order
Imo Bruce is the greatest metal vocalist ever.
I'm a 53 year old woman and still love watching/listening to this version! 😉
I'm 55 and think Molly Boy is probably my favorite reactor to metal rock grunge bands he has the personality to get you coming back for more .
Wellcome to club totallytania,same here...up the irons
I was so blessed to listen to 70s & 80s Heavy Metal music. And to hear & see these metal gods perform live, was like having a resurrection of unbridled fury & ecstasy, all rolled into a phantasm.
Same here I love early Iron Maiden just as much now as I did then. I have tickets for their next Australian tour here this year. ❤🇦🇺
54 (yr old) woman right here with you 🤘
the sands of time are running loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Maiden gets 1/4 the respect and accolades they deserve.
England gave us all a lot of amazing things, including the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and tons of other awesome bands. But, England also gave us their greatest offering ever--Iron Maiden. Up the irons!!!

I was at this gig, it was an amazing experience.
IRON MAIDEN TOP BAND IN THE 80'S
80’s and now for me!🙂
They are just timeless
@@utubnagain Totally agree. For me they are seven of the best metal albums of all time. I can never pick a favourite from those. Basically whichever one I listened to last!
Too band of all time regardless of decades
Was 20 years old when this tour was going on God I wish I could go back 62 now it sucks

Iron Maiden is the best, most consistent live band. You won't be disappointed by any live Maiden. You need to go see them on their next tour!
There is a very specific reason Iron Maiden is considered one of the greatest live bands of all time. Go to a concert and witness it in person and you will understand.
100. It really is an amazing live experience. The crowd energy is crazy good!
Up the Irons!!! This band kills!! One of the greats!!
One of my favorite Maiden tracks and in my opinion this is the absolute best recorded performance of it. Performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in front of a small intimate crowd. The band and the audio technicians nailed this entire show. Hard to believe it was recorded in 1982 with how good the sound quality is. You're in for a treat.
Saw them 2 years later on Long Island at the Nassau Coliseum in front of 16,000 fans. That's how big they got, fast.
Favorite song of all time! This will liven you up!!!!
THIS SONG made me and Iron Maiden fan!🤘
They were such a great band. I don't think there's a modern band that wouldn't fall apart half way through trying to play this live.
Were? Fuck NO….STILL ARE!
@@madman1366 You're right...when I say were, I'm just thinking back to the times I saw them live in the 80's. Think I saw them eight times, more than any other band. Dave Murray is one of my heroes.

It's OK but it's old and outdated compared to rock in rio or live after death videos.
@@MaxineWatt-jd8ho It's really not. There is far more passion involved with this performance and the band and sound technician absolutely nailed it.

"From small acorns mighty oaks do grow".
Dude Hammersmith was one of the main concert halls for all bands🤘
this is the version that i have on my playlist. frick the studio versions, this specific live performance is the real version in my opinion.
It's crazy that they're out there 42 years later still doing the same thing and hardly worse for the wear.
Brilliant. Can't wait for this one .This is one of Iron maidens most Iconic Songs But best version is rock in rio live .or Live after death 😊🤘🤘🤘❤
Iron Maiden are the kings of Metal They may not be as heavy as other metal bands but they still kick ass. They formed nearly 50 years ago in 1975.
'Bout time! OZZY, Priest & Maiden... I picked a bad time to stop day drinking!
I caught that Airplane reference! 👍🤘
Day drinking is the best.
Surely your not speaking the truth? 😁
You are correct about the increased tempo, Iron Maiden usually speed it up a little live, especially in the early days.
Can't believe that as a POM you've never heard your own national band. The Maiden started back in the late 70s and are still around today. One of the greatest bands ever.
Hang in there.
And thanks for keeping music from my day alive.
Bruce has a great voice ...Run to the Hills my fav one 💌🇨🇦
I saw them in 1982 on the East Coast, My senior year, and was hitting the concerts of great bands, Great times❤😊
Oh my god what a tune what a band wvey tune is amazing especially live
British pride bro . From an Australian , and also the rest of the world 👍
The best thing you can do for your yourself! Just keeping react maiden ! best band ever walked at earth!

I remember playing this song in high school in 1984 yes I was the fastest guy in high school but great Iron Maiden Track
Hallowed Be Thy Name Rock in Rio 30 year later i guess still amazing, check it all
This version is better than the studio. 😍

To be fair...they sound even better now
That bass is incredible!
The spammers hitting your comments section is a mark of your success, keep it up man, march to 1M.
I love how you can actually hear Steve Harris playing. Not just the music but you can visualise the physical aspect of it.
Back then to play at the Hammersmith Odeon was the pinnacle for many bands. The Hammersmith Odeon is an iconic venue or the Hammersmith Apollo as it's known today .
Bet this goes on the playlist, Great band ! Great song !🤘
Steve's bass killing it!
Dave Murray is one of the most Underrated guitarists. He is easily top 10.
I saw them in 1983. Was phenomenal🔥
i love that throughout the eintire performance you can hear Steve Harris's bass strings being played, its epic
Still rocking it hard today. A great live show
The most energetic concert I have even been to was Maiden in 1985. I saw them a few years ago and they seemed just as energetic, but I wasn't quiet as such.
Masterpiece!
Amazing reaction as always! An incredible live performance! The whole song is excellent, but this one gets me because it was live and the impeccable timing is unreal!
Sending healing vibes from Canada ❤
Live After Death is the best live album of all time. Saw them on Ozzfest and absolutely killed. When the giant Eddie came out on stage it was incredible. Best live band I've ever seen.
yeah nah for this song this is the best version clearly, in fact I didnt really care for the album version, but now its one of their best for me.
Very rare to see Dave not playing a Strat, Great choice was 15 in 1982
"Run For The Hills" is my favorite Iron Maiden song. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is second.
Concert was in March 1982 a few days before the Number of the Beast album was released. The audience is hearing this song for the very first time.
This is so amazing live and all those years ago
This whole concert is on Spotify and most of the songs are on the tube. 22 acacia avenue and the prisoner are sooooo good. Highly recommend those two. The whole concert is like a performance of a lifetime kind of deal
This was professionally shot, intended for VHS release, but the firm that was hired f'ed things up so badly that the project was scrapped. The film sat for many years and some of it was actually lost or destroyed. That's why obvious parts are missing, like no focus on Adrian's solo in this song.
This song had already been played for the first time in a "secret" concert in December 1981 at the Ruskin Arms in London. There is the bootleg from that night on TH-cam to hear what it sounded like. They also presented other songs such as Run To The Hills at that same concert and on dates prior to the December one they presented Children Of The Damned and 22 Acacia Avenue. All 3 came out on The Number Of The Beast in '82 along with Hallowed Be Thy Name. Regarding the album, it only came out in March of '82, so most likely, there were people at this concert (the first of the promotional tour) who already knew this song.
Brilliant song!🏴
