    Great reaction!!! This is a so so version of this song in my opinion. The one in Hammersmith in 1982 IS the version to check out. You have now opened the door to the greatest band ever without any media or radio support. Check out Aces High, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills, Powerslave, Paschendale, Alexander the Great, The Clansman, Dance of Death and Fear of the Dark, to start.... Live if possible, and the best crowds are usually in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The 2001 Rock in Rio and EnVivo concert are legendary.

    You know that part where all the solos come in and before Bruce sings "hallowed be Thy Name"? It gives me goosebumps everytime. It drives near to tears. It's because the story is about a convict who is being led to his death and before they execute him, he cried out to the heavens and cried "Hallowed be Thy Name". He's crying out for forgiveness.

The band knows what it's really about, not the money, the fame, the women or the ego. It's about the fans, the people that spend their hard earned money to buy their albums and go see them live. It's a lesson that many performers seem to have forgot about.

      They were on my bucket list. I have accepted it won't happen. I have seen most of my favorites, though. Can't have it all. For old school I caught Sabbath, Priest, UFO, Motorhead, Megadeth, Metallica, Saxon, Anthrax, Slayer, and some others. First concert was Pantera/White Zombie in '96, and just went on a binge for years. Missed some of my favorite bands for work or relationships and I regret most of it.

    Glad I found your channel. I grew up on Maiden. My first concert was in 84 to see them and my sons first concert was 2016 to see them. Amazing history and musicians. You owe it to yourself if you like audible books. Bruce has an amazing life story. “What does this button do”
    Also, listen to the studio mix. While you lose the amazing energy of the live show but so good. But the Rock in Rio of this is amazing too. Flight 666 Bruce flew the 747 for the tour. Well several tours.
    Thanks for this truly enjoyed the sincere reaction and appreciation of the music. God Bless!

    I've been a fan of this band since the very week their second album Killers was released in 1981. Seen them live 5 times and even have one of Nicko's ( the drummer) sticks. A Maiden show is not just a concert it's an event. This is a band whose fan base includes the grandchildren of long-time fans and they're still going strong as I write this. A truly special band for over 40 years. And they pack the house everywhere they go on tour with their own 747 which the singer flies himself.

    There's no band like Iron Maiden and never will be again. They have put out 17 studio albums with many songs as good as this one. Plus their latest album is every bit the masterpiece that their older material is. Their fan base is the most generational there's ever been and their audiences are actually get younger, not older. My son is 17 and absolutely loves them. He's seen them in concert several times already and can't wait for their next tour!
