Love the studio version, but let's be honest, this is a million times better. The studio version cannot remotely compete with this, iron maiden is one of those few bands which make songs you thought couldn't get any better and listen for hours and then they play it on stage and your jaw hits the floor when you hear this awesomeness kick in.
This is a perfect vocal performance, because it holds up 20 years later, in Australia. In their own branded jet. I think they're doing something right.
@Pedro Reinaldo I can't see how you can justify that remark, as this is classic Maiden from their first heyday.They have had another heyday since. Not many bands manage that, without breaking up which Maiden never did. Grats for hearing something better, post it please!
Beast Over Hammersmith 1982 version was. The band played the song about twice faster on that concert version than it ever was on the original The Number Of The Beast album.
Soy profesor de música, enseño guitarra y Música en escuelas. Escuché esta canción a los doce años y me cambió la vida. Por esta canción y Iron Maiden y su obra me dediqué a ser músico...Gracias! Gracias eternas! Up the Irons!!!!!
There’s the studio version and other live versions. But this version from Long Beach is amazing as Maiden brings out all of their passion and pours it all over this performance. Live after death will forever be timeless.
My fav song and best live album imo....was 15 when this came out oh the memories.....dont care what anyone says the musicianship is out of this world ....up the irons!!!
I'm British Indian and remember buying the double cassette album and listening to this on my Walkman in my room singing along and playing air guitar! Needless to say I didn't have many Asian friends!
Lol ... Well I'm Franco Indian ( Asian ) and I was ( and still am ) a huge fan of this album myself. I'm definitely not ashamed of myself nor do I deny these great moments. I even use to wear the T.Shirt of this album at school. No bluffing. I swear . Bless !
@Imperium Europa There is also a great parallel between South Asian instruments and Western instruments. As far as, the guitars are concerned, for me, Iron Maiden is simply perfection in the making. Just bought myself the album " A real dead one " ( Awesome ).
@Imperium Europa No for the live concert in Mumbai, Imperium Europa. In fact, I am a person of Indian origin living in France. I was aware that Bruce Dickinson came very recently to Paris but I do not know if he came with his team. There is a demand for Iron Maiden's return to France in July 2025, I believe. I think they are touring in California right now. I read that we belong to the same generation since I am 42 years old. During my youth till today, I also left the ' Heavy Metal genre ' to discover other style of music and more particularly about my roots musically speaking ( as well as historically speaking ). I just came back to re-listening to Iron Maiden and ' Iron Maiden ' in particular because I see a distinction between this group from the others. I join you completely in your sayings " there's a magic and chemistry with them, and with their fans, which is very unique and which you just do not see in other bands " : I completely agree. I feel it is also very important to show appreciation to all these old groups while they are still alive ( without wanting to sound morbid or anything ) : To let them know how well they, their work and their legacy are still enjoyed today. I feel it is important to do that somehow.
@Imperium Europa I will try to attend the next one in France if I can. Seing them ' live ' must be another thing ... : waoaaaw. I also have a great admiration for what they did in Sarajevo for the people.
Sitting on the front porch drinking and smoking same time listening this unbelievable song that's take me from slow ride to fast high ride into the darkness.
Ah! Thank you Skeletor. Taking me back to when me and my friends were drinking beer in someone's cold garage somewhere in my BFE of the long-haired past.
This song...This album..the year is 86..and my life have changed with this song and this album...I Chosed the other way in the life... which is hard and heavy...
This is a very respectable live version... And I know many people like The raw energy of a live performance, But the album version is absolute perfection. And the vocal notes Bruce Hit in 1982??? It's an Historic performance... Clive Burr's drum performance can't be beat... (The original On Number of the Beast)
12 años tenia cuando adquiri este verdadera joya, aun conservo este album doble en discos de vinyl de 33 1/2" revoluciones................GRANDIOSO!!!!!! GRANDIOSO!!!!!!!!!
Iron Maiden, Who art from Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, When Metal's sung On Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily shred, And deliver us from Evil. For Thine is The Kingdom, The Power, And the Glory Forever and ever. Iron Men.
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low, yeah! When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that there's some sort of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end, not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming The words escape me when I try to speak Tears flow, but why am I crying After all I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I am sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to seek the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion
I bought this album back in the early 90's I've listened to it so long when I finally heard the studio album I thought.. what is this... that isn't right..
Ein weiterer Beweis dafür das Maiden eine echte Liveband sind. Ein Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte. Dieser Song ist immer mein Favorit gewesen aber als ich diese Vetsion gehört habe, hat es mir die Tränen in die Augen getrieben..nearly perfect..Adrians Einsätze, Bruce Stimme, das Tempo..einfach der Hammer!!! Metall rules!!!
i saw Maiden way back in the old days in 1984 in a small hall; they waited to play us that some fans from Amsterdan who where stuck in the mist were arrived and played 5 extra gifts!!! wich rockband will do that for their loyal fans? Maiden did!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, this is one of the best live albums ever, it's hard to find a live album that sounds as good as the stuff played in the studio, Maiden is just that good! I hate that I've missed them, in years past, but you never know, my love of metal, and my peter pan syndrome, and my appreciation of great musicians, that combination may give me a chance to see them one day, long live Maiden
Thank you posting this!!!! I was trying to find Bruce's "Scream for me Long Beach" and it's been edited out of every version I was finding online! Spotify, Pandora, most of RUclips, it was a frustrating search, but thank you for being the light at the end!
Yeah' Iron Maiden definitely there finalist Hour in the History of Rock, Live After Death' 1985 an Album which will' Live with Iron Maiden fans in Iron Maidens history Catalogue, which will Live On' after we maiden fans have sadly passed Away and will Continue' Onwards, for maybe even a Thousand' Years, Mike London England UK
@@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist I agree with both of you, but in this particular song I think it is utterly overdubbed. There is a tremendous difference between the 'live' voice of Bruce on those days, very stressed and mostly chest voice with lots of belting from the voice of the second verses which is much clearer and closer to head voice that Bruce used to have in studio recordings. All these 'live' lp's were actually remastared at studio and specially vocals. Now that thanx to youtube we can have acces to many real live performances with the obvious mistakes mostly in vocals it is undeniable.

My wife asked me why I love metal so I played this version of song for her and then she became Iron Maiden fan too...
Play the whole damned album Live after Death for her....
Fuck yeah 🤘
Partnering done right!! 👌👌❤
Your wife has an ear for music haha
For sure... This is THEE version of this song
The greatest version of the greatest Maiden song ever. Nobody can touch Maiden live, this is the benchmark for live albums!
right, hammersmith 82 was a lil bit better
not a little since bruce's voice there is at his best
and here he couldn't do the high notes
Rock in Rio is one of the best
Yes!
You goddamn right, best one on recording anyway
Love the studio version, but let's be honest, this is a million times better. The studio version cannot remotely compete with this, iron maiden is one of those few bands which make songs you thought couldn't get any better and listen for hours and then they play it on stage and your jaw hits the floor when you hear this awesomeness kick in.
For the last 34 years this album has just delivered, it's one of the best, if not THE best, live albums ever. Up The Irons!
EPIC
Agree, best Live LP ever.
This. Is. So. True.
I much prefer this live version. The tempo is perfect on this one.
indeed the Golden duo Adrian and Dave!!!!
Brian Conway absolutely. Live after death is king of maiden live.
The best version of this song
This is a perfect vocal performance, because it holds up 20 years later, in Australia. In their own branded jet. I think they're doing something right.

+Pedro Reinaldo I didn't hear any d5s here which ones are you referring to ?
Beast Over Hammersmith 1982 version was. The band played the song about twice faster on that concert version than it ever was on the original The Number Of The Beast album.
by far....

The guitar solos in this version make me cry they are so good. When Adrian comes in....just ridiculous.
it's frickin unbelievably good
Yep - what you said Ryan!!
Adrian is on Gibson....
Great sound...
The best maiden album ever
I was there front row. I still have the ticket stub.
to me the best live album of the 80's
rmcduarte damn right it is. still listen to it pretty much everyday. in my car cranking it now 12:30 in morning.
no doubts about it man!!!
Best live Metal Album of all time! \oo/ \oo/
Heard it a zillion times, never grows old, makes every hair on my body stands up
My favorite version of "Hallowed"!
The best version
@@jairpasturiza4069 Hammersmith live 1982*
Dave and Adrian's solo on this version still brings tears to my eyes after so many years. Just a perfect representation of their distinct styles.
Yes, and the crowd going insane, it's still incredible
The best version of them all!
There’s the studio version and other live versions. But this version from Long Beach is amazing as Maiden brings out all of their passion and pours it all over this performance. Live after death will forever be timeless.
This. Song. Makes me cry. Legit tears
I was there at Long Beach Arena 1985... and again at Irvine Meadows a few days later, on acid. Don't tell my kids.
This live version is actually WAAAYYY better than the studio version (which still rocks of course!)...Maiden rules!!!!!!!!!!!
My fav song and best live album imo....was 15 when this came out oh the memories.....dont care what anyone says the musicianship is out of this world ....up the irons!!!
I was 15 too.
The best
Me too was 15
Best live album ever
Was recorded in long beach
4 sold out shows. Would loved to have been there
The best version of the best song which ever made in music history \m/
This was my back patch on my demin jacket... EPIC ALBUM!!
Nothing beats live after death versions! Fact!
Scream for me Long Beach!!!
True Maiden Fan right there!!! \m/
The best Heavy Metal Live Record ever....
So very fucking good. The beginning, middle and end of Maiden skills.
First metal song ever listened... pure love

It's like philosophy, music, theology, law, all in one. So incredible
February 5,2020 who is still with me....
Best song. Best version. Scream for me Long Beach
Kidkoffee, fuck yeah! I was there!
no hammersmith 82
Live after Death, each day in my life from 1985 to 1987. Crazy memories. Best metal song and band ever.
Live After Death the best!
Sitting on the front porch drinking and smoking same time listening this unbelievable song that's take me from slow ride to fast high ride into the darkness.
This is my favorite Maiden song of all time... Very intense & dynamic.
I am waiting in my cold cell....Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed Be Thy Name!!! What current group has this? No one can beat this live!!!
Bruce was such a powerhouse vocalist!
The best part of this song is from 0:00 to 7:22 !
On flip side to this, my daughters golden doodle goes crazy when I play this song on youtube on my tv. Sometimes even sheds a tear.
Ah! Thank you Skeletor. Taking me back to when me and my friends were drinking beer in someone's cold garage somewhere in my BFE of the long-haired past.
This song...This album..the year is 86..and my life have changed with this song and this album...I Chosed the other way in the life... which is hard and heavy...
Just the greatest song of all time
Porque cuando estamos cerca de la muerte pensamos: "Santificado sea tú nombre"!!! MÍTICO TEMA DE MAIDEN!!!
Bruce's voice in this song especially the beginning never ceases to give me chills, just an amazing vocalist
This is a very respectable live version...
And I know many people like The raw energy of a live performance, But the album version is absolute perfection. And the vocal notes Bruce Hit in 1982??? It's an Historic performance... Clive Burr's drum performance can't be beat... (The original On Number of the Beast)
Explorando o máximo das cordas vocais ! A melhor versão live !!!!
One of the greatest live albums recorded ever. Sorry but it is.💯💕👍
so much better than the studio. now who does that these days! ?
12 años tenia cuando adquiri este verdadera joya, aun conservo este album doble en discos de vinyl de 33 1/2" revoluciones................GRANDIOSO!!!!!! GRANDIOSO!!!!!!!!!
This album is like wine; The older, the better. I've adored it for 39 years.
Iron Maiden, Who art from Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, When Metal's sung
On Earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily shred,
And deliver us from Evil.
For Thine is The Kingdom,
The Power,
And the Glory
Forever and ever.
Iron Men.
This may be their best song, all genres. Simply the best.....
Phantom of the opera same album ?
I agree I was fortunate enough to see this live in the early 80's. Best of all Iron Maiden!!!
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low, yeah!
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
The words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow, but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I am sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
To all you Reactors out there!
This is Nuclear Power! 🇬🇧
I got this album in middle school, and I memorized every song I think it was definitely a great live album.
Reflecting on my past life...
best maiden ever
.
I bought this album back in the early 90's I've listened to it so long when I finally heard the studio album I thought.. what is this... that isn't right..
After all this years respect from Belgium

3:27 Voice mode god = ON
overdubbed... unfortunately. the 2nd half of both verses were overdubbed. listen to the difference in and lack of straining in his voice.
I don't think it was overdubbed. I think it was taken from one of the other nights

Best version
I got 2 tickets for iron maiden baby!
Lets be honest..epic record epic songs ..but this one is the best on the record
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole,
The sands of time for me are running low...
Running low--ooohhh...
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is this really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not easy to stop from screaming,
But words escape me when I try to speak.
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you".
If there's a God then why does he let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me.
Though the end is near I'm not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
Don't worry now that I have gone.
I've gone beyond to see the truth.
When you know that your time is close at hand,
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name
Yeah..................................
