Damn, I’ve been waiting to hear this song live since 1986 or 1987 so now I don’t remember. Lol Please come to Seattle Iron Maiden! Also, I hope they don’t drop the Time Machine. I love that something the new album.
dave murray es la escencia del sonido de maiden con steve , adrian tiene unos solos increibles y memorables pero dave nunca falla es una maquina muy subestinado para mi adrian y dave estan en top 10 del mundo
The first night he struggled after the solos coming into "Phrygian King..." This time he nails it and by the end, grabs the mic for the first time and holds the word Babylon at the end. I cant wait until he gets more comfortable with Alexander and does Bruce things as he sings during this song. Oh and I hope he incorporates a Greek, hell Ill take Roman, helmet that he wears
Judging by the sound of this video and the one from the first night, he must have lost them or one of the three amigos played the wrong chord, cause it did sound weird. But this one... Epic!
@@TerminatorZXY I think he just blanked for a second. Alexander is kind of a hard song to sing. I have most lines down but that third part with “Phrygian King…” it’s tough; I have to reference lyrics. It doesn’t help that it’s a bit fast and words are meshed together and the Greek names don’t help too. Give them a third, maybe fourth, night and they should grace through it
Crazy seeing how much this song means to so many people. Being 12 and super into Greek history and coming across this song is what turned me into a metal head literally from one minute to the next. That’s something I’ll never forget
I’m just an American from Biloxi, Mississippi. But I was 13 when Somewhere in Time came out, had the cassette for my boombox. And after listening to this album hundreds of times I really got interested in Alexander the Great, and then into history in general. I love that they’re playing this now
@@saschagrunert998 why is political? It's only history and is a legend king general of Greece who spread the Hellenic culture and civilization to whole knowed world
I was there, I saw Adrian pretending to bite his nails from fear at 4:00 because he messed up the little Greek style clean solo on their previous show. Thank you for capturing this unique moment!
@@rabarebra This has recently been addressed in guitar circles.The solo you're talking about has been changed because certain elements of it are not consistently audible in different parts of the stadium live, with the extraneous noise.If you notice the reverse chord sequence in the solo are inaudible, but if you watch Adrian's fingers, he is playing the chord sequences. Other guitarist (e.g. Nico from licks of the beast, tribute band), have said that when they play this live many parts of that little intricate solo become inaudible, when played exactly as the solos played on the arm - it's to quiet *this is actually proven by the performance in Norway and you'll see that somebody with the smartphone recorded the perfect solo, with all chord sequences audible, then if you check another smartphone recorded video from the other side, you can hear the entire sideline except the reverse chord sequences.This proves that it's the particular solo and doesn't work well live and the sound equipment doesn't carry the sound.It's got nothing to do with Adrian messing up
@@Rowlph8888 I call that BS. Go listen to how it is on records, it clearly audible in that section. Nothing is overriding anything. That octave up done live here, ruins the piece's middle section.
When the crowd shouts " ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝ, ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝ " , my hairs rise and shivers run my spine. Alexander would be proud! After all,this was his dream: His glory and name,to be remembered for Eternity
Actually lyrics for this its Marching On and not Macedon im Greek and know the song very very well every detail of the lyrics nevertheless EPIC SONG its just a masterpiece!! Hail Greece Hail Macedonia Hail Alexander the Great Hail Iron Maiden!!!
@@gamatoutsikos We saw Bruce Dickenson give a solo spoken word presentation in San Francisco a couple years ago and got the impression that had something to do with it.
É de chorar essa introdução, vocal perfeito, harmonia incrível... Bruce um dos caras mais inteligentes e a maior voz do metal contemporâneo. Lenda! Épico.
Not only is Bruce Dickinson's voice listed as one of the best heavy metal voices in history, but also Iron Maiden, it's incredible that at 64 he sings much better than others❤
For more than 37 years I waited for them to finally play this song, before I die or they retire, ¿when will the day come when they play back in the village? It is my🎵 dream
@@charlesleeray4932 Very few guitarists leave such an impression to where decades of new guitarist cover and emulate their work. Yes they are among the best.
ALEXANDER FUCKING THE GREAT-Good to see you back after 37 years (last time i hear it in 1986 or 1987 in Poland) This song is live masterpiece and deserves to play it on live shows.
@@rabarebra don’t think so. They simply didn’t want to play it because it is too long or boring for them to play. Don’t know if they spoke about this in an interview
letra extremamente complexa, o andamento da música exige fluidez, sem dúvidas é um baita desafio pra eles, mas nessa segunda execução já se nota que a banda tá mais solta e se divertindo tocando esse clássico
I've waited a lot of years to hear this song done live and I sure not disappointed they did an excellent job.. this will be a historical marker on the journey of life
This should have been a live staple years ago, so good. Hopefully the crowd reaction causes them to dig into their back catalog of tracks that havent been played live.
Tta le canzoni più belle mai scritte, indipendentemente dal genere musicale. Magnifica ed epica , stupenda ed emozionante. Up The Irons!!!!!! From Italy
@@ariskaraiskos8079 one thing I noticed though from this live and the previous is that Nicko does not play the somewhere in time track very well. A lot of the kicks and licks are gone for those tracks... Weird because the senjutsu ones are flawless
While the drums on the SIT are one of the best in IM histoty. Great parts with the great sound. Bass drum clearly hearable, drums in general put in the front. I finally started to appreciate Nicko from this album.
@@martinblackwhite for me I am mad at him as he removed a lot of the subtlety on these songs. And swap some parts and felt weird. I would be confused actually as musician as some break came before it should like shortening songs.
Foi demais! Perdi as contas de quantas vezes assisti de ontem para hoje. As idéia deve ter sido as seguinte depois de 37 anos: -Vamos tocar essa porra mesmo?! Então será perfeita! Que espetacular performance de todos os 6, mas aos 04:03 o Senhor Adrian Frederick "H" Smith diz: -Essa música me pertence.
Bruce is killing it! Much stronger than the studio vocals on senjutso, and he is stronger and taking on the higher notes on this song much more than on the opening night
I've been watching all the performances of this song, and they seem to be getting better night after night. For this one, Nicko is right on the money, Dave and Adrian are killing it, and Bruce is a monster. It's not really a bass heavy song, but Steve is as always giving his all, and Janick is great too. What a fucking great band.
Amazing song, wish I could have seen it live, always one of my favorites, and with the shifting time signatures from 4 to 6 and back gave it such an intense feeling, so powerful
For 20 years I have been eager to watch live for this great song. And finally I found it. Thanks to the uploader. And I have also done guitar cover for this song but it has not done so well..
Want to hear the nomad or the thin line berween love and hate live. Even the loneliness of the long distance runner too or stranger in a strange land. I really love those songs

ΧΑΧΑΧΑ ΟΝΤΩΣ!!!! ;)
Yo man how does it feel to finally hear Alexander the Great live?
Shwiiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!!!!!
Damn, I’ve been waiting to hear this song live since 1986 or 1987 so now I don’t remember. Lol Please come to Seattle Iron Maiden! Also, I hope they don’t drop the Time Machine. I love that something the new album.
Damn...it's like a dream
Worth the wait.
It's like making love for the first time to your high school crush...nearly 40 years later
Can’t stress this enough: Davey is the most underrated guitar player of all time. He is so fucking good and consistent
Adrian Smith is amazing too!!
He was my inspiration when i started to play the guitar, while all the others did it with hammet or slash (both overrated in my opinion)
100%!!!! The best!
I think he’s as important as Steve’s bass…Dave is a huge part of the signature Maiden sound.
dave murray es la escencia del sonido de maiden con steve , adrian tiene unos solos increibles y memorables pero dave nunca falla es una maquina muy subestinado para mi adrian y dave estan en top 10 del mundo
In a part of ancient GREECE
IN A ANCIENT LAND
Asia Minor
@@chaosvector😅What are you saying? Pella Greek city... Asia Minor is on the other side.... 😢
when anti-Greek politicians belittle and mock our history there are the maidens to remind us Thank you very much a Greek....!!
Bruce still nailed after 37 years. What a legendary Singer ,dude. Up the Irons.
He is way better than in 1986. He is like red wine.
@@sayjustwordstome Somewhere on Tour has to be his worst. Blaze Bailey probably reached higher notes than Bruce
You know what..I love this great song 10 times even after hearing it live! Maiden rules!
Daves solo is a masterpiece. He is such a great player.
But Adrian is even more masterpieceier.
The first night he struggled after the solos coming into "Phrygian King..." This time he nails it and by the end, grabs the mic for the first time and holds the word Babylon at the end.

- Where did Alexander the Great die?
- In Baaabylooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
I even got goosebumps at that part hahaha. Bruce is a living legend, and he always makes sure to show it.
An epic song to the GREATEST GREEK EVER,ALEXANDER THE GREAT(ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ) from the Greatest metal band on this planet!Thanks for the upload
I was there, I saw Adrian pretending to bite his nails from fear at 4:00 because he messed up the little Greek style clean solo on their previous show. Thank you for capturing this unique moment!
It is also played in the wrong octave. Sounds much better originally, more mellow and dark (this part). Here it sounds too lighten.
But how is it Greek style? What do you mean by that?
@@alexni6087 he means its in the harmonic minor scales used most in oriental music

I can't wait... I want to hear it live. Here in Greece Alexander's homeland!!!
I still can't understand why they were refusing to play one of the best metal songs ever for 37 years....
Politics over the name Macedonia
Politics.

It's funny... Here we have a song about a legendary figure from history, and that song itself has become a legendary piece of history.
Alexander the Great Glory Hole
Up the Irons from Greece!!!
The best solos in the history of Iron Maiden
What a band !!!! And they said that did not work when they refused to play in the past !!!! What a class ! This band is so amazing 😊
it shows they really do listen to fans. It was always the most asked for!
It was because of politics
This turned to be one of the most impressive Maiden's live songs. I wish I could hear it live.
The lead work on this song is to die for; absolutely beautiful. And the whole song is a masterpiece, from beginning to end
Yes.
Killing it, Bruce Dickinson is a living legend, still a top notch performer
Two best guitarists in the planet. Their solos are so memorable, the crowd sings along... I thought I would never see this live.
Their good, but best? No.
@@charlesleeray4932 Very few guitarists leave such an impression to where decades of new guitarist cover and emulate their work. Yes they are among the best.
Agreed. And in the same band
@@anthonymiele1063 And childhood friends who both learned on the same guitar.

Alexander the great 🇬🇷👑👑👑👑
Such a great song ! I never understood why they didn’t play live before. Living legends !
Now time has come to play Alexander live after 37 years😊❤and was totaly awesome
For political reasons obviously.
@@azwris political ? What do you mean ?
Because Alexander was gay. Now it is pride-times. I guess Davey is somewhere on those tracks as well.
@@rabarebra don’t think so. They simply didn’t want to play it because it is too long or boring for them to play. Don’t know if they spoke about this in an interview
Daves tone is to die for. So clean. It's like Hank Marvin or Buddy Holly went metal. Stunning.
GREEK POWER THIS IS SPARTAAA
Masterpiece, No other Band could ever put a song like this or ever did, Iron Maiden is in a class by themselves!
Εvery body knows the truth about Alexander except for those who live in Skopje!!
The greatest of all Hellenes..
They finally did it guys!! One of their most beautiful songs ever made. Adrain’s face before the solo haha. He nailed the tone perfectly though.
"I don't want to write my memories, just wait Iron Maiden" (Alexander the Great)
An absolute masterpiece of heavy metal music! Maidens are just unbelievable in their constant high quality...Gods of metal!
The intro gives me goosebumps all the time
Alexander the Great,his name struck fear into hearts of men,Alexander the Great,became a legend amongst mortal men!!!
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
This song is so great in so many ways. For me these are their best guitar solos for both Adrian and Dave.
Sensacional interpretação, não é uma música fácil para Bruce Dickinson, magnífico! 🤟
letra extremamente complexa, o andamento da música exige fluidez, sem dúvidas é um baita desafio pra eles, mas nessa segunda execução já se nota que a banda tá mais solta e se divertindo tocando esse clássico
O Sergio e a Children sofreram pra gravar, não é fácil pra ninguém
The fans asked, they received ;D It's so cool that they are still willing to play classics
Θα μας κανετε ρε Maiden να μπουμε στο αεροπλανο παλι…
Ποναει και η μεση μας 😊
I'm loving this song, I'm marching around my house high on caffeine 😍
First heard the song when I was a teenager.. absolutely massive tune that follows me through my life .. iron maiden at their best
Alexander the Great! Alexander the Greek from Greek Macedonia! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I've waited a lot of years to hear this song done live and I sure not disappointed they did an excellent job.. this will be a historical marker on the journey of life

They did this in 2005. Early Days Tour.
@@rabarebra They didn't.

Up The Irons!!!!!!
From Italy
Adrian will be the MVP of this tour!!!
That last note!!!! Babyloooooooooooooooooahonnnnnnnn!
Holy Shit. Oh Hell Yes
The seventh seal is now open
That note hold at the end was brilliant by Bruce!!
ΕΠΙΤΕΛΟΥΣ! Μετά από 37 χρόνια...
Dave and Adrian are just fuckng awesome
It shocked me when I heard it in Glasgow. Maiden are like Father Christmas every concert
37 lat czekałem na wykonanie "live" tego utworu. Dobrze, że jeszcze żyje - no i doczekałem. Dzięki za udostępniony materiał video!
Dear precious GOD, I love this band.
God bless Dave Murray... love his solo....
Absolutely perfect.... they worked a lot since the first night.

Foi demais!

-Vamos tocar essa porra mesmo?! Então será perfeita!
Que espetacular performance de todos os 6, mas aos 04:03 o Senhor Adrian Frederick "H" Smith diz:

How does Bruce's voice keep getting better and better with age? Amazing!
A maior eh melhor banda de heavy metal do mundo 🇧🇷
Incrível... quanto mais ouvimos mais queremos ouvir novamente!
As I said earlier, beautiful quality, well done. Looking forward to the Athens show next year.
I waited this stage performance since 1987 !!! Epic !!! Spectacular !!! Up The Irons !!! 🤟🤟🔥🔥
I have waited for so many years for this .
Amazing.
Sublime ❤
Masterpiece ❤ I cried when i heard it live that night ❤️
A fucking life time. Thought I my never hear this live. Here we are. Up The Fucking Irons🤘🤘🥃🥃🤘🤘
best band planet
Bruce can still bring it !! Impressive !!

Thank you for sharing this. Sounds magnificent.
Beautiful solo from mr dave n adrian..best song heavy n beautiful..up the irons💕👍
Would be amazing and legendary the day when they finally play Déja Vu
Want to hear the nomad or the thin line berween love and hate live. Even the loneliness of the long distance runner too or stranger in a strange land. I really love those songs
Maiden's best album. That song is so uplifting.
This song always reminds me of something a high school student would have come up with, so they could pass their history exam.
omfg!! unbelievable been waitin so many years to see it live
Marching on! Marching on!
magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤This Is absolutly best band❤❤❤
