@@RoyyGn Yeah I have only heard that stuff on occasions. I'm relitavely new to metal and I can tell you that from a person who thought metal was screaming I was dead wrong. It's a shame because I really feel a lot more people would like some kind of metal but the negative connotations of metal being screaming and satanic which are both false, put them off. Pretty much all the people I befriend I tell them to listen to metal. First edge them into it with some classic led zeppelin and black sabbath and then iron maiden, metallica, Megadeth and so on.

this performance was actually 2 days before the album was even released, so that audience is hearing this for the first time ever. Absolutely incredible
That makes a lot of sense since when this song intro gets played you hear a bunch of people cheering, but nobody is since this is there first time hearing it.

And to hear another vocal expert break down all parts of this performance was really cool. If you enjoy this amazing version of the best Maiden song and can find that video give it a listen. Rock on my Maiden fans.
A lifelong Maidenhead (well, since 1986) couldn't agree more. My best friend is a Judas Priest fanatic, and I can't fault him for that, but I showed him this video once, and he just whispered at the end, "Well, I can see why you're a Maiden fan."

This is the one song that you never skip on Spotify shuffle mode. How is it possible to make such a masterpiece. Non-metal listeners who are always complaining about Metal being violent, satanic, angry, loud and only screaming should just listen to this.
Clive Burr's birthday and passing. 8 March 1957 / 12 March 2013 My favorite Iron Maiden drummer member ever.. He just drove the Iron Maiden power level to the top. Rock In Peace Clive
Hell rite hear havent stop try to meditate to bruce fucken evil but insane voice the man sing from his soul with so much passion it just pump me up every time
I really dig Clive’s drumming. Whether it be blink-182 or Motörhead, nothing beats the classic drummers - Scott and Phil! I like how it picks up speed at the end too, I’ve never noticed if they do it in other live albums and I’ve got some on vinyl
My fucking God dude... That part still makes me tear up and give me the illest chills possible. Bruce Dickinson is an absolute fucking legend, no one will ever be like him.
@Aldo S. Of course you can't forget about Ronnie James Dio! He created more of an impact on music than Bruce did. I still like Maiden a little more though. Bruce is my favorite. ❤
It could be because the spiritual ties it has to it. It has a few scriptures in it. Scriptures are know to give life, light and encouragement in dark times
I'm 24 and have never really listened to Iron Maiden before, only 'Number of the Beast'. But goddamn, this is one of the best live performances I've ever seen on RUclips. I'm a new fan, for sure.
Hallowed be thy naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme
whoever says that obviously ain't a true rocker man when I think rock I think of such icons such as Chris Cornell Chester Pennington rob Halford and of course the legendary iron maiden along with Bruce Dickinson man all these guys are legends
My dad is a drummer and possibly the biggest Iron Maiden fan I've ever seen (he's made one of their songs my second name), he was barely 11 years old when this performance happened, and today I am 21 years old and I continue to appreciate the band's works from waaay before I was even born, I never cease getting impressed by how timeless and legendary Iron Maiden is, they keep improving and getting better and better even nowadays, I know they'll be in history books for a really long time Iron Maiden was my dad's teenage favorite band, I've been listening to them and to my dad playing since I was born, and I hope someday I get to see them live and pass their legacy on to future generations ♡
During their peak, they were heads and shoulders above just about anyone. I'm surprised more people aren't into them. The only band I'd say had an edge to Maiden was late 70's era Judas Priest (1976-1979) ... one of the most creative streaks in not just heavy metal history, but music history 🤘🤘
Agreed. I stopped listening to Maiden for a long time after he left. I thought Clive WAS Maiden. I could get over Paul leaving sort of as "Killers" was phenomenal but so was "Number of the Beast". Clive seemingly had absolute control of Maiden in a way Nicko never did.
"Tears flow but why am i crying After all im not afraid of dying Dont i believe that there never is an end?" This is so fucking deep and well written i cant get enough
Unfortunately they didn't write it. They stole it from a band called Becket and got sued over it. Really hit me hard, didn't think they would do such a thing.
"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" This is the real line from this amazing song that not enough people comprehend.
best live performance ever....remember that I saw them first time in Greece in 13.9.1988. Thirteen years old then, snicked out from my home and went on foot (15 miles walking) paid sixteen hundred drachmas {about 5 Euros today} ( much expensive for a 13year old boy then (didn't spend my allowance for 4 months!!!) BEST experience ever ... Up the irons!!!!!
Bro !....I saw them on the Powerslave tour at the old Rosemont Horizon on 22 Dec...just before their X-mas break....57 years young now and hope they visit DFW soon...Enjoy the show! Up the Irons! 🤘🍻
6:13 I will never not get goosebumps during these final lines. Like the whole song exists only to build up to that final exclamation. And Bruce absolutely destroys it live. I love this version over the recording. From a storytelling and songwriting perspective, this song is unmatched. The instrumentation mirrors the lyrics and the psyche of the speaker as it grows more and more uneasy. If you read the lyrics, if you pay attention to the guitars and drums and bass building and building in their tempo and aggression to this point, you begin to realize how important these final lines are and how Bruce's delivery makes it so perfect. The speaker begins the song afraid of death, doubtful of God's existence, then he spirals into despair asking-if he exists-why God's allowed this to happen to him. By the end of the song he has an epiphany, a revelation, and as he's about to die, he reliquishes all his doubts and accepts his fate, finally wailing in guttural, primal submission: "HALLOWED BE THY NAME!" Goosebumps. Every time.
Wow, you know what? I love this song and have listened to countless times, but your comment opened a new dimension to the song and just adds another brilliant layer to it! Thanks dude, Thanks!
lmfao I shit you not, I get goosebumps during the entire time and the end is just the climax where I can finally die in peace knowing I've lead a good life
skyguitar Thanks! Haven't listened to it in a while in all honesty, but when I was younger it was hands-down my favorite album to listen to on loop haha. Sorry for the late reply, YT didn't alert me for some dumb reason. Cheers mate!
Clive Burr. You are living forever because of this. What a marvelous drummer you was. You bring the soul of this song with your mates. Drumming and making your own melody into this masterpiece. R.I.P.
Hey man, your spot on.. I saw them for the first time in Providence Rhode Island in 86 or 1987, there were no cell phones then either, unless you were a preppie spoiled rich kid who ran back out to his girlfriends dads car to throw up his peppermint schnapps and pass out, and go to school a couple of days later and tell everyone it was the fucking balls of a show!!!! 🤘
So many people think Rob Halford is the greatest. Don't get me wrong he's good but Bruce Dickinson doesn't go falsetto to reach the high notes. This is an amazing vocalist with all the intangibles a singer wants. Very underrated.
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" 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 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 an 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 But words escape me when I try to speak Tears flow but why am I crying? After all I am 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'm not sorry Catch my soul 'cause 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
The best Maiden song ever... the best metal song ever! The best version! And I was there! If I need a music rush, ever, I pull up Hallowed Be Thy Name on my iPod. Try not head-banging and air-guitaring to this, I dare you. Dave and Adrian on Gibson Explorers, and the underrated Clive Burr on drums (much though I love Nicko). Fantastic! A Maidenhead to the day I die.
@@D-Day-fb3pw Can ANYONE dislike this performance? When someone is doubting my taste in music I just show them this song haha. Most of my friends who aren't even metalheads still think this song is awesome. When I met my girlfriend 3 years ago she didn't like metal at all, but when I blasted this song in the car a couple of times she grew to love it. Since then I've brought her to both Maiden and Metallica concerts and she loved every second of it lmao
well I love this song too, but "the best piece of music ever written" is a bit over the top? Aside from that being very subjective I think it is hard to argue that musically speaking there are better written songs than probably any Iron Maiden song or for that matter probably any contemporary music piece.
WE WANT INFORMATION,INFORMATION,INFORMATION....WHO ARE U.....THE NEW NUMBER 2. WHO IS NUMBER 1? U ARE NUMBER 6.....IAM NOT A NUMBER..... IAM A FREE MAN.......AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHA
This is the song that got me into metal. I used to think it was too much screaming but I heard this song and it was more soft than most metal songs, so I liked this song and decided to check more of Iron Maiden. Thank you Iron Maiden for getting me into this awesome genre.
This would never be this tight again. Two words. CLIVE BURR!! The pocket is so huge and steady. It's just brilliant but never sounded the same after he left the band. That right hand during the first half of the song was his trademark! Just so perfect and so gloriously powerful. Bruce was untouchable here!!!
I completely agree, and yet, I have to say - while Clive keeps it as tight as a pull of a black hole, Nicko stretches it, bends it and swings it just like you're riding the black hole's event horizon itself. Both are incredibly awe-inspiring when it comes to playing this song. ruclips.net/video/_ToPD_KDU-I/видео.html - this is absolutely otherworldly.
I'm 21, I saw then on oct 4. It was the best moment of my entire life. Every single time i heard them since, i get goosebumps and my eyes fill with tears. It was simply unbelievable , like a dream u know? Anyway, i know that i will remember that day for the rest of my life!
@@porfiriodev ...thanks for your post. October 4 is the day before my birthday. I am so happy that there are younger people out there that are moved by their music. I hope you get to see them a million more times! Love to you from ohio usa.❣
That last verse when he sings "Hallowed be thy name" just gives me goosebumps everytime. It sounds so supernatural like how is it possible for a human to do that
I know right! When I heard it for the first time, my jaw dropped and even now after many times of listening to it. I am still amazing by his true talent!!
No auto tune AND Bruce motioning to the sound guy that he can’t hear himself in the monitor AND perfect vocal delivery. Astonishing, not too mention the incredible band and song.
That's what got me. Bruce sitting on the stairs like "up the monitor man I can't hear myself" while sustaining that "low" flawlessly. Absolutely amazing.
Bruce's tone on the long "name" is just killing me bro. I literally die a little inside because of its beauty. All my efforts in vain and as pale as the moon in the glow of his brilliance.
This performance for me is the absolute pinnacle of music. If I had to pick a favorite song, it would be this performance of this song. Absolutely goosebump-inducing.
@@RPMCanes: Not dead, it's just moved into genres that don't get much radio airplay. You have to go looking for it nowadays, it doesn't get delivered to you anymore.
Still wondering how Iron Maiden is still touring strong to this day. The evidence is clear. Kick as bass, vocals, guitars, drums, writing, lyrics, production, mixing and engineering. Not to mention, Eddie! Can't wait to see them this October 2022!!!
I would argue Bruce got better as he got older. The Talisman (En Vivo) and Powerslave (Flight 666) also Tears of the Dragon (Live with Tribuzy) showcase that perfectly.
He's got a better voice by the book these days. Purer tone, smoother pitch transitions, doesn't lose his breath as easily live. But the sheer power in this recording is something else.
yeah, hes had other great performances but this is hands down the best, both for Bruce and the rest of the band. The note hold on the word low and than the transition scream. Then the final hallowed be thy name and note hold are the best.
I like the 2001 RiR because Bruce interacts more with the ppl and the guitarists seems to having a good time. This version hands down tho, specially at the last part. Bruce absolutely nailed the screams
Everyone can have their opinions but clive kills on the drums in this version, ive never seen a version where nicko does it justice, and i love nicko's drumming btw
To all the people thinking Dickinson's vocals are overdubbed, know that this was recorded in a time when overdubbing in the studio was a major challenge, much less doing it live. Overdubbing as we know it didn't start coming in properly until a few years after this was made when digital equipment became more readily available, and even then most studio's still had the good old reel to reel to track the bands. There's no trickery here with Bruce, or the band. Fact is the tech just didn't exist in 1982, so what you hear is what you get. They were (and are) fucking good at what they do, they don't need any 'enhancements' to make them sound good.
Maiden are one of those rare bands where the live performance often surpasses the studio recording. Besides live rock music is mostly about the skill of the musician with his instrument, as there are no electronic sounds involved. Hence out of any genre it generally comes across the best when performed live!
I remember "air drumming" to this song over 30 years ago. It's amazing to just now find out that Clive played the 16th note hi-hat pattern with just his right hand. I always thought he "fanned" it with two hands on the hats, but check out 3:49: clearly shows one hand playing the pattern. Drummers, ever try playing that with one hand, at this tempo and volume, on 15" heavy high hats, especially near the end of a show? My right arm would've fallen off! RIP Clive, you were one bad-ass on the tubs and blades.
Scott Woods Holy shit, people like you are an intellectual detriment to the Maiden fanbase. Please stop spreading your idiocy around. And that's got to be the worst comeback I've heard in my life. All you do is insult Bruce and Nicko from behind a keyboard. If you told your bullshit to Bruce in person, he'd probably beat the fucking shit out of your empty skull. He and Nicko make Maiden the great band it is today, just as great as when Clive was their drummer. I'd be glad to tell it to your face, but you sound like an asshole Brit who rarely exits his mold-ridden basement, and I have no intention of crossing the Atlantic to talk to dipshits like you.
Scott Woods different styles, written in different times... Nicko is pretty dope too cuz he puts his own style into something... I mean I've been drumming for a while and I'm not going to play Metallica's Enter Sandman by the book! I'm fucking around with time and making it my own.
I have finally concluded that Mr doctor Dickinson is not human, he must be from a superior parallel universe who can write songs and sing them to such high quality and clarity. Truly truly amazing.
Normal thing, don't complicate it, most important is how frequent the artist do that! But it will be always inspiring, influencing, and ripping off, original work, mix it creatively together, that's it! Actually every aspect of humanity is like that lol! But some few have way bigger impact than the others @@Edward-sx5yf
I just learned that Bruce had this to say on Clive: "He's been the best drummer the band ever had. That's not taking anything away from Nicko. Technically, Nicko's probably a far more competent drummer than Clive. It's just that Clive had this incredible feel, and you can't learn that, and I regret that he wasn't given more time to try and sort himself out." Fuck MS. RIP Clive Burr.
I agree with him. Clive wasn't as technically perfect or as consistent as Nicko, but his Fills and drum beats were more creative and he had more energy in his playing than Nicko
I played in bands for almost 30 years. In 1 show near the end i was doing a guitar solo when my legs gave out and i fell back into the drums. People thought i was drunk but i wasn't drinking. Long story short my last year playing out i had to sit in a chair because i was having trouble keeping my balance. Found out i had MS and soon i had to stop playing out because i would get so worn out that i could no longer play past 2 sets. Doesn't matter if you lead a clean and healthy life MS will get you if your just prone to it. I can only imagine the horror Clive went thru RIP.
Bruce's best performance. Sadly due to the intense touring of Maiden, he couldn't use his 100% after that. During this performance, he might just be the best metal vocalist ever, out-shining even the great Dio and Halford.
@Alex something Ozzy in his prime area (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album f.e.) was very good vocalist and I love those tracks with him and how he sounds on them, and raw graspy high notes (hi Sabbra Cadabra). I laugh at you for trying to laugh at Ozzy, you loser. btw. Bruce sounds so well in this one... Saw him three times, thought he sounded amazing, but here its just beyond comparison. At that time propably top 1 of metal vocalists.
The greatest Metal song ever. Period! It has everything the initial buildup and intro, the crescendo leading to a massive twin lead explosion. The drums and tempo throughout, the bass gallop and the power vocals, and that amazing finish. If there ever was a perfect metal song. This is it.
[Intro] 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, yeah [Verse 1] 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?

When I was a teen I used to blast this on my stereo. Had some friends over and my mom came home. They only heard her yell....and they where extremly shocked when I turned the dial up....she wanted me to play it louder. Still love this song....and now its a fond memory of my departed mother
me too, man, *sigh* me too. I just got into heavy metal and Iron Maiden and so far this is my favorite song of theirs and my god their performance in this video was exactly like I pictured while listening to the song an endless amount of times. Bruce Dickinson's facial expressions and even his haircut is exactly the way I imagined it would be. That sir is amazing
As a music engineer, The reason why he (Clive) stands out better than Nicko is that, music wise, if you listen carefully. Clive actually plays along with the bass notes and not the guitars. Especially heard in the sólo towards the end, as Steve’s changes notes, Clive uses the crash (clear crash note use example at 5:40 bass note change, crash use) and then the snare (you can hear the clear example of Clive playing with the bass notes at 5:47 and then 5:56 when he uses the snare ) giving the drums more bass, while also allowing the guitars to stand out on their own at the same time, yet still maintain a stronger depth sound with the bass . Compare to Nicko who plays along side the guitar notes. Differences that gave Clive a better bass sound over all. A technique rarely use now.
Correct. This whi Steve Harris's bass, an instrument in Metal is oft covered up stands out so wonderfully, it's something I wish Metal drummers were much more mindful off, ain't nothing wrong with a Galloping bass under the riffage, In fact it compliments it.
when I hear this song... Something changes in my brain and my body... the whole feeling changes no matter what was before hearing the song. This is so tremendously good!

This is the one song that you never skip on Spotify shuffle mode. How is it possible to make such a masterpiece. Non-metal listeners who are always complaining about Metal being violent, satanic, angry, loud and only screaming should just listen to this.

I definitely find iron maiden way better live than studio

Clive Burr's birthday and passing.
8 March 1957 / 12 March 2013
My favorite Iron Maiden drummer member ever.. He just drove the Iron Maiden power level to the top.
Rock In Peace Clive
i'm a drummer me! i like Nicko Mcbrain YA BRO!
Nice!
Nice!
Nice!
Nice!
Yeah man... BEST LIVE VERSION EVER!!!
What a memories...43 years old
Who is still listening at 2019?
Hell rite hear havent stop try to meditate to bruce fucken evil but insane voice the man sing from his soul with so much passion it just pump me up every time
54 yrs old and still loving the maiden 👍
47 next week. Tallica, Accept, Running Wild, Maiden Megadeth,... Too many bands lol.
Everytime goosebumbs!
@@Naglfar12 you're absolutely right bro...
My opinion is that it is not only their best song but best live performance as well
I really dig Clive’s drumming. Whether it be blink-182 or Motörhead, nothing beats the classic drummers - Scott and Phil!
I like how it picks up speed at the end too, I’ve never noticed if they do it in other live albums and I’ve got some on vinyl
@@icecoldgazpacho Blink 182? Ugh!
Definitely Better than The Trooper.
I'm in a boat. Ouch help me
Dude fuck yeah
This is the definitive life version of this song
6:27 Bruce transcending from the greatest human singer to the god level. Unbelievable performance.
Bruce was always a God. You just didn't realize it.
@@stevej1910 "I'm not playing god...all this time, I've been playing human."
My fucking God dude... That part still makes me tear up and give me the illest chills possible. Bruce Dickinson is an absolute fucking legend, no one will ever be like him.
@Aldo S. Of course you can't forget about Ronnie James Dio! He created more of an impact on music than Bruce did. I still like Maiden a little more though. Bruce is my favorite. ❤
And he was very young at this time. He was 23 years old
Hands down the greatest metal song every written.
Can't even argue that reslly
great but not greatest
Maybe not the Greatest but easily Top 20
agreed best metal song
This and Judas Priest's Painkiller. Watch the lyric version of it with the knight in metal armor riding his metalcycle, it's badass oozing metal.
Strangely this song helps me when I'm down. It's such a well structured, written and performed masterpiece.
It could be because the spiritual ties it has to it. It has a few scriptures in it. Scriptures are know to give life, light and encouragement in dark times
Mee too
It’d have to be one of the hardest to sing I reckon. Bruce the king of this song 🤘

IMFFIM !
My dad is a drummer and possibly the biggest Iron Maiden fan I've ever seen (he's made one of their songs my second name), he was barely 11 years old when this performance happened, and today I am 21 years old and I continue to appreciate the band's works from waaay before I was even born, I never cease getting impressed by how timeless and legendary Iron Maiden is, they keep improving and getting better and better even nowadays, I know they'll be in history books for a really long time
Iron Maiden was my dad's teenage favorite band, I've been listening to them and to my dad playing since I was born, and I hope someday I get to see them live and pass their legacy on to future generations ♡
During their peak, they were heads and shoulders above just about anyone. I'm surprised more people aren't into them.
The only band I'd say had an edge to Maiden was late 70's era Judas Priest (1976-1979) ... one of the most creative streaks in not just heavy metal history, but music history 🤘🤘

Agreed. I stopped listening to Maiden for a long time after he left. I thought Clive WAS Maiden. I could get over Paul leaving sort of as "Killers" was phenomenal but so was "Number of the Beast". Clive seemingly had absolute control of Maiden in a way Nicko never did.

best live performance ever....remember that I saw them first time in Greece in 13.9.1988. Thirteen years old then, snicked out from my home and went on foot (15 miles walking) paid sixteen hundred drachmas {about 5 Euros today} ( much expensive for a 13year old boy then (didn't spend my allowance for 4 months!!!) BEST experience ever ... Up the irons!!!!!
Awesome.......

6:13 I will never not get goosebumps during these final lines. Like the whole song exists only to build up to that final exclamation. And Bruce absolutely destroys it live. I love this version over the recording.
From a storytelling and songwriting perspective, this song is unmatched. The instrumentation mirrors the lyrics and the psyche of the speaker as it grows more and more uneasy.
If you read the lyrics, if you pay attention to the guitars and drums and bass building and building in their tempo and aggression to this point, you begin to realize how important these final lines are and how Bruce's delivery makes it so perfect.
The speaker begins the song afraid of death, doubtful of God's existence, then he spirals into despair asking-if he exists-why God's allowed this to happen to him.
By the end of the song he has an epiphany, a revelation, and as he's about to die, he reliquishes all his doubts and accepts his fate, finally wailing in guttural, primal submission: "HALLOWED BE THY NAME!"
Goosebumps. Every time.
Wow, you know what? I love this song and have listened to countless times, but your comment opened a new dimension to the song and just adds another brilliant layer to it! Thanks dude, Thanks!
lmfao I shit you not, I get goosebumps during the entire time and the end is just the climax where I can finally die in peace knowing I've lead a good life

"Hallowed Be Thy Name"
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
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 an 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
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow but why am I crying?
After all I am 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'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause 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
This is not writing lyrics this is poetry at its best
always think the ending deserves a good neck snap noise-lol

Thx!
The best Maiden song ever... the best metal song ever! The best version! And I was there! If I need a music rush, ever, I pull up Hallowed Be Thy Name on my iPod. Try not head-banging and air-guitaring to this, I dare you.
Dave and Adrian on Gibson Explorers, and the underrated Clive Burr on drums (much though I love Nicko). Fantastic!
A Maidenhead to the day I die.
Alastair Archibald I agree, but for the record those are Ibanez Destroyers lol
+Alex Moon It's weird. They feel the same in hand, sound the same in tone, but they feel so much different from each other.
Jesse Kunkowski I always liked the feel of Destroyers better however. The Explorers feel kinda like babies first radical guitar shape lol
+Alex Moon I guess but what pisses me off about both of them is how you barely have access to the 22nd or 24th frets due to the shape.
Jesse Kunkowski Yeah I've seen a fair number of people carve out the notch a bitch more
Appreciated more than ever these days when nothing is real, Maiden comes through.
Hands down the best piece of music ever written. I've probably watched this live performance about 500 times and I just can't get tired of it.
I'm right there with ya buddy. I choose my friends by how they react to this performance. Lmao!
@@D-Day-fb3pw Can ANYONE dislike this performance? When someone is doubting my taste in music I just show them this song haha. Most of my friends who aren't even metalheads still think this song is awesome. When I met my girlfriend 3 years ago she didn't like metal at all, but when I blasted this song in the car a couple of times she grew to love it. Since then I've brought her to both Maiden and Metallica concerts and she loved every second of it lmao
Same here. The best metal song ever. Way better than all trash metal songs.
Still giving me goose bumps 3 decades later
well I love this song too, but "the best piece of music ever written" is a bit over the top? Aside from that being very subjective I think it is hard to argue that musically speaking there are better written songs than probably any Iron Maiden song or for that matter probably any contemporary music piece.
That part at the end when he goes "be thy NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME" gives me chills everytime

You're not a musician and probably wasn't even born when Maiden was at their prime in the early 80s. And no greats like Buddy Rich were the best.
This is the song that got me into metal. I used to think it was too much screaming but I heard this song and it was more soft than most metal songs, so I liked this song and decided to check more of Iron Maiden. Thank you Iron Maiden for getting me into this awesome genre.

He’a always had some of the best annunciation and diction in terms of lead vocals, metal or otherwise. Musical and a good instrument for story telling

The power and beauty of this song will never fade
Damn Bruce sounds better here than he does on the studio version. Especially with that final note, jesus christ....
This would never be this tight again. Two words. CLIVE BURR!! The pocket is so huge and steady. It's just brilliant but never sounded the same after he left the band. That right hand during the first half of the song was his trademark! Just so perfect and so gloriously powerful. Bruce was untouchable here!!!
Could be maidens best ever live performance, Bruce sounds incredible!
I completely agree, and yet, I have to say - while Clive keeps it as tight as a pull of a black hole, Nicko stretches it, bends it and swings it just like you're riding the black hole's event horizon itself. Both are incredibly awe-inspiring when it comes to playing this song.

That's what got me. Bruce sitting on the stairs like "up the monitor man I can't hear myself" while sustaining that "low" flawlessly. Absolutely amazing.
Bruce's tone on the long "name" is just killing me bro. I literally die a little inside because of its beauty. All my efforts in vain and as pale as the moon in the glow of his brilliance.
This performance for me is the absolute pinnacle of music. If I had to pick a favorite song, it would be this performance of this song. Absolutely goosebump-inducing.
did you never see them live. Awesome, F... dude those were the days
The late 70's and early 80's was a golden age for electric guitar playing. We will not see its like again.
The art of musicianship is truly dead.
@@RPMCanes: Not dead, it's just moved into genres that don't get much radio airplay. You have to go looking for it nowadays, it doesn't get delivered to you anymore.
I respectfully disagree. All things move in time like a pendulum. It will swing back that way again.
For me, the late 60s and early 70s were the golden age of guitar playing (Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Beck, Blackmore)
@@peacefulruler1 And Gilmour too
Still wondering how Iron Maiden is still touring strong to this day. The evidence is clear. Kick as bass, vocals, guitars, drums, writing, lyrics, production, mixing and engineering. Not to mention, Eddie!
Can't wait to see them this October 2022!!!
Well I mean they can fly anywhere with that pilot in their ranks.
Bruce has never sounded better
late 90s and early 00s are pretty close
1981-1982 bruce was god
He sounded great in '83 and early '84 too - sometime in '84 he lost the effortless power and clarity.
I would argue Bruce got better as he got older. The Talisman (En Vivo) and Powerslave (Flight 666) also Tears of the Dragon (Live with Tribuzy) showcase that perfectly.
He's got a better voice by the book these days. Purer tone, smoother pitch transitions, doesn't lose his breath as easily live.
But the sheer power in this recording is something else.
People who claim that the 2001 Rock in Rio version is the best version have obviously never listened to this 1982 version.
yeah, hes had other great performances but this is hands down the best, both for Bruce and the rest of the band. The note hold on the word low and than the transition scream. Then the final hallowed be thy name and note hold are the best.
@@tjbalan896 how about how he belts "go"? So sick!
I like the 2001 RiR because Bruce interacts more with the ppl and the guitarists seems to having a good time. This version hands down tho, specially at the last part. Bruce absolutely nailed the screams
@Dan Maler I've "obviously" watched this version and my favorite is the Flight 666 version. I'm sorry we don't all have the absolute truth like you.
Everyone can have their opinions but clive kills on the drums in this version, ive never seen a version where nicko does it justice, and i love nicko's drumming btw
To all the people thinking Dickinson's vocals are overdubbed, know that this was recorded in a time when overdubbing in the studio was a major challenge, much less doing it live. Overdubbing as we know it didn't start coming in properly until a few years after this was made when digital equipment became more readily available, and even then most studio's still had the good old reel to reel to track the bands. There's no trickery here with Bruce, or the band. Fact is the tech just didn't exist in 1982, so what you hear is what you get. They were (and are) fucking good at what they do, they don't need any 'enhancements' to make them sound good.
Maiden are one of those rare bands where the live performance often surpasses the studio recording. Besides live rock music is mostly about the skill of the musician with his instrument, as there are no electronic sounds involved.
Hence out of any genre it generally comes across the best when performed live!
Both of you guys know what your about. Respect !
Bruce is called the human AIR RAID SIREN FOR A REASON!
My brother introduced me to this song....best sibling EVER!
I remember "air drumming" to this song over 30 years ago. It's amazing to just now find out that Clive played the 16th note hi-hat pattern with just his right hand. I always thought he "fanned" it with two hands on the hats, but check out 3:49: clearly shows one hand playing the pattern. Drummers, ever try playing that with one hand, at this tempo and volume, on 15" heavy high hats, especially near the end of a show? My right arm would've fallen off! RIP Clive, you were one bad-ass on the tubs and blades.
***** Nicko completely slops his way through Clive's songs. He's not even in the same stratosphere as Clive.
yeah
Scott Woods Holy shit, people like you are an intellectual detriment to the Maiden fanbase. Please stop spreading your idiocy around. And that's got to be the worst comeback I've heard in my life. All you do is insult Bruce and Nicko from behind a keyboard. If you told your bullshit to Bruce in person, he'd probably beat the fucking shit out of your empty skull. He and Nicko make Maiden the great band it is today, just as great as when Clive was their drummer. I'd be glad to tell it to your face, but you sound like an asshole Brit who rarely exits his mold-ridden basement, and I have no intention of crossing the Atlantic to talk to dipshits like you.
Scott Woods I'm good man, but thanks for the concern.
Scott Woods different styles, written in different times... Nicko is pretty dope too cuz he puts his own style into something... I mean I've been drumming for a while and I'm not going to play Metallica's Enter Sandman by the book! I'm fucking around with time and making it my own.
Everything abt this band is perfection be it the drums, guitars,bass or the vocals. Very few bands have that where everyone shines.
They're in perfect symbiosis. And, after all their years, they are my favourite ever band.
I offer Rush to your comment.
The best metal band to ever exist
I have finally concluded that Mr doctor Dickinson is not human, he must be from a superior parallel universe who can write songs and sing them to such high quality and clarity. Truly truly amazing.
international fencer, author, businessman, critic, lyricist, god singer and a fucking bloody pilot.
I mean, he didn't write Hallowed but sure lmao
Bassist Steve Harris wrote the song.
Also, this song has about 6 full lines completely taken from a Beckett track.
Normal thing, don't complicate it, most important is how frequent the artist do that! But it will be always inspiring, influencing, and ripping off, original work, mix it creatively together, that's it! Actually every aspect of humanity is like that lol! But some few have way bigger impact than the others @@Edward-sx5yf
I just learned that Bruce had this to say on Clive: "He's been the best drummer the band ever had. That's not taking anything away from Nicko. Technically, Nicko's probably a far more competent drummer than Clive. It's just that Clive had this incredible feel, and you can't learn that, and I regret that he wasn't given more time to try and sort himself out."
Fuck MS. RIP Clive Burr.
I agree with him. Clive wasn't as technically perfect or as consistent as Nicko, but his Fills and drum beats were more creative and he had more energy in his playing than Nicko
Simply Clive was more heavily felt than that of nicko technical drumming.
I played in bands for almost 30 years. In 1 show near the end i was doing a guitar solo when my legs gave out and i fell back into the drums. People thought i was drunk but i wasn't drinking. Long story short my last year playing out i had to sit in a chair because i was having trouble keeping my balance. Found out i had MS and soon i had to stop playing out because i would get so worn out that i could no longer play past 2 sets. Doesn't matter if you lead a clean and healthy life MS will get you if your just prone to it. I can only imagine the horror Clive went thru RIP.
What an Amazing drummer he was! My wife passed away recently with MS... BE STRONG MY FRIEND. NEVER GIVE UP AND PLAY 'TIL YOU CAN!!!
why is always the drummer that has to leave for medical reasons
Bruce's best performance. Sadly due to the intense touring of Maiden, he couldn't use his 100% after that. During this performance, he might just be the best metal vocalist ever, out-shining even the great Dio and Halford.
Just waiting for someone to include Ozzy Osbourne's name to laugh at him.
I’m not sure about outshining halford. Halfords voice between 86-90 was insane. Particularly live from 86-89
@Alex something
Ozzy in his prime area (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album f.e.) was very good vocalist and I love those tracks with him and how he sounds on them, and raw graspy high notes (hi Sabbra Cadabra). I laugh at you for trying to laugh at Ozzy, you loser.
btw. Bruce sounds so well in this one... Saw him three times, thought he sounded amazing, but here its just beyond comparison. At that time propably top 1 of metal vocalists.
Never outshine rob never but Bruce is a great singer
Can’t stand Dio. Phil Anselmo was pretty good when he was young.
This is the greatest live performance of all time.
And by some distance
Sorry but Donnington 1992 beats this by a mile
Have you heard the live performance of Dance of Death by them? I believe it was in Chile. Absolutely amazing.
What city was this??
The greatest Metal song ever. Period! It has everything the initial buildup and intro, the crescendo leading to a massive twin lead explosion. The drums and tempo throughout, the bass gallop and the power vocals, and that amazing finish. If there ever was a perfect metal song. This is it.
Some parts are slightly repetitive but the last 30 seconds best cadence I’ve heard from Iron Maiden from the album this came off.
Clive Burr is still the best drummer.
The groove @ 5:40 is fucking insane. Right in the pocket.
[Intro]
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, yeah
[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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 fall but why am I crying?
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
[Verse 3]
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God why has He let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
[Verse 4]
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
When I was a teen I used to blast this on my stereo. Had some friends over and my mom came home. They only heard her yell....and they where extremly shocked when I turned the dial up....she wanted me to play it louder. Still love this song....and now its a fond memory of my departed mother
Clive Burr sounds so fucking awesome on the Drums !!!!
Clive Burr is a machine gun!

RIP Clive Burr
So is Steve Harris.
Clive Burr was a legend. Rest In Peace, Drum God
Rip
the amount of money i'd pay to be there..
UK right, only reason I'm mad I didn't grow up in the 80s
Me too, altho I was there 7 years later..long beach, anthrax opened up..I was 13 years old!..changed me for ever!!!!
me too, man, *sigh* me too. I just got into heavy metal and Iron Maiden and so far this is my favorite song of theirs and my god their performance in this video was exactly like I pictured while listening to the song an endless amount of times. Bruce Dickinson's facial expressions and even his haircut is exactly the way I imagined it would be. That sir is amazing
was at this tour..lol.. oh the fun us 80's kids had
I'm paying about 100
I can remember it like it was yesterday! I was 15 in 1984, and Maiden was awesome!
When people ask "what's metal?" this is what I show them.
Oh my God this is f****** awesome
Heck yeah, up the Irons!
Boy do I miss going to early 80s metal concerts. THE best shows ever.
I'm sorry but you missed.
As a music engineer, The reason why he (Clive) stands out better than Nicko is that, music wise, if you listen carefully. Clive actually plays along with the bass notes and not the guitars. Especially heard in the sólo towards the end, as Steve’s changes notes, Clive uses the crash (clear crash note use example at 5:40 bass note change, crash use) and then the snare (you can hear the clear example of Clive playing with the bass notes at 5:47 and then 5:56 when he uses the snare ) giving the drums more bass, while also allowing the guitars to stand out on their own at the same time, yet still maintain a stronger depth sound with the bass . Compare to Nicko who plays along side the guitar notes. Differences that gave Clive a better bass sound over all. A technique rarely use now.
Correct.
This whi Steve Harris's bass, an instrument in Metal is oft covered up stands out so wonderfully, it's something I wish Metal drummers were much more mindful off, ain't nothing wrong with a Galloping bass under the riffage, In fact it compliments it.
It’s often over looked that drums and bass should be playing together and complimenting each other. It is the rhythm section after all.
So this Is Fake?
M.R Crítica oh this is far from fake, in fact what you’re listening to pure Iron Maiden. No special affects or tuners. Just Iron Maiden at its purest.
You Sir are spot on! This sounds wayyy heavier than with Nicko.
They have so many songs that are absolute quality, but this song, will always be my favorite.
when I hear this song... Something changes in my brain and my body... the whole feeling changes no matter what was before hearing the song. This is so tremendously good!
True

3 things that you will never forget
1. When you fall in love for the first time
2. When you lose your virginity first time
3. WHEN YOU FIND OUT IRON MAIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Actually you lose your virginity in this way :D)
yeah bro itt's kinda sad that I don't remember losing my virginity the 2° time
I'm still a virgin tho :/
My ears lost virginity :)
I remember when I discovered Iron Maiden. I was eating a bowl of Raisin Bran. Now I always associate Iron Maiden with it.
True
Imagine being in THAT live and hearing THIS song for first time with THAT performance....
forty years, man. and he still does it with all the energy. they all do. there will never be another Maiden
I saw this tour when I was 18 in 1982 .Bought the album...met Iron Maiden at a Turtles records and tapes in Atlanta just before the concert...had them them autograph the LP .Still have it to this day.Turned my 23 year old son onto early Maiden.Thankfully,he absolutely adores their first 3 albums just like his old man.I saw Maiden live twice back then.First with Paul DiAnno then with Bruce.I'm 57 now...old man .but I still love my hard rock,hardcore punk rock,and of course early Iron Maiden.The autographed album will go to my son when I'm wearing a dirt blanket !
The Stairway to Heaven of heavy metal.
@@user-dh4ws9xq6d No, Stairway came first, but they're still both awesome songs.
And painkiller.
The Meme Inspector and holy wars
Hallowed Be Thy Name is the Hallowed Be Thy Name of music.
I was thinking exactly that a couple of days ago lol
Okay, that’s peak Bruce Dickinson. That’s probably the tightest live performance I’ve heard.
Indeed
I could not imagine being in that audience. I get chills watching this performance on RUclips. I literally cannot fathom watching it live in front of me.
I'd probably cry myself to death
I saw them live for peace of mind tour in the Charlotte coliseum in n.c. 1985 ...it was mind blowing 🤯 🎸
The powerful voice of Bruce in this concert was shown so much because he wasn't tired yet from the endless tours
