I think everybody respects anybody who is fighting for their freedom, that is a very fragile and precious thing...The trouble is, there is so many today that never has experienced it......
Might be the best live metal performance of all time, and maybe the best live Maiden song ever. Bruce's spoken intro gives me chills every time..."...but which sometimes is..not".
@@susannewilliamsson8339 from what I remember wasn't just before this they were looked at a washed up band living of what they did in the 80's? Always thought of this concert as them saying otherwise...
@@stephenramos2824 hmm, a tricky question, since I´ve always loved them, even in their so called dark era this is really hard to explain.....BUT the concert in Rio was to me as many others the revival of Maiden and our feelings towards them....and I honestly think that their music since then has only improved in time, now it´s a bit more progressive, complexed like symphonies really, simply timeless and gorgeous......and I consider the concert in Rio to be the best they ever made, and I seriousley think it couldn´t ever be better performed, nor even by themselves.....
Well put and written review. I do believe this was the concert for them.. us. The Bare' . .. who ever put the footage together deserves a nod as well. They displayed it in a way that captured the emotion... of how much the band believes in the message they send. Can only imagine a concert of this magnitude with A Matter of Life and Death.
ThatHoosierGuy unfortunately they didn´t do anything like that in their performance 2018 in their " Legacy of the Beast "tour but I sure miss that scene, somehow I´ve got the feeling that Bruce wanted the stage to himself....
@@damiangallego2388 so true, and all of us knows, only too well, that at a certain point our bodies starts to wear out, no matter how hard we try not to
Erick Von Witz Blaze's version is better, people are just completely blinded by their lopsided bias. Steve chose Blaze because he wanted a darker voice for the record he had in mind; Steve is no idiot, why would he have chosen a bad singer? Blaze is great, as is Bruce, but Paul songs sound better with Paul, Bruce songs sound better with Bruce and Blaze songs sound better with Blaze, because you know what? Steve and co. write songs to fit the voice of the vocalist they currently have. Calling Blaze talentless is implying Harris and co. are morons, and they're NOT.
Erick Von Witz Having the song played at a faster tempo has nothing to do with Bruce's vocal abilities since Blaze also plays it faster nowadays in his live shows. Besides, maybe you should stop being such a Bruce fanatic and realize he also made mistakes... a lot of them. For exemple - what's up with his raspy Brian Johnson wannabe vocals on No prayer for the dying and Fear of the dark? What's up with his first solo record being a complete rip off of AC/DC? Bruce's influence in the band made them produce their two worst albums, replete with subpar hard rock numbers with incredibly stupid lyrics like Bring your daughter to the slaughter, Holy Smoke, From here to eternity, Weekend Warrior etc. Ovbiously, in that point in his carrer, Bruce wanted to distanced himself from metal and go full on hard rock mode, which resulted in the band's worst albums ever. As soon as Bruce left, gone was the AC/DC clone songs and back was the classic maiden sound, althought with darker themes. Also, you might want to check out Blaze's solo career since he left Maiden; it's awesome. Silicon Messiah, The Tenth Dimension, The Man who would no Die - those three records beat anything released by Maiden since Bruce's return. Paul had the perfect voice for the punkish sound of the two first records - it becomes obvious when you listen to live rendition of those songs with Bruce, it just doesn't fit the more aggressive vocal style of Di'Anno. Bruce had the perfect voice for the more melodic approach they took from Piece of Mind to Seventh Son, and Blaze had the perfect voice for the much darker X-Factor and to a lesser extent Virtual XI.
Erick Von Witz Sorry but Murders on Rue Morgue is straight up punk song, and it's on Killers. Saying Blaze was not as good as Bruce for Maiden is one thing; saying he's an incompetent vocalist is another entirely. Nobody ever said he was a bad vocalist while he was in Wolfsbane. The only reason he got such a bad reputation is the same as with Ripper Owens - people just couln't accept anybody singing for Maiden or Priest instead of Bruce or Rob. Blaze was criticized for having a voice too disimilar to Bruce while Owens was criticized for having a voice too similar to Halford - damned if you do, damned if you don't. Blaze's solo career so far has been better and way more creative and consistent than both Bruce's carreer as a whole (Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding are awesome, but the first 3 records where pure shite) and Maiden's new millenium output so far (Brave New World and AMOLAD where pretty good, Final Frontier was so-so and Dance of death is the worst maiden album to date) Give a listen to Blaze's Born as a Stranger, Speed of Light, Kill and Destroy, Blackmailer... open up your mind, Bruce is the best singer for Maiden yeah, but Blaze is a great singer, not to mention an excellent songwriter and lyricist.
Así yo la siento también, es un canto a liberarte del yugo opresor, de las tiranías q aun existen en el mundo. Cuando Dickinson canta el coro Freedom, freedom a todo pulmón yo también canto con él. La libertad es el bien mas preciado q tiene el hombre y solo los que adolecen de ella saben lo que ella significa. 💔💔💔

I have seen Maiden 3 times in concert. They are the most professional band I have ever seen, and I've seen most of the greats. They rarely mess up, any of them. Flawless performance all 3 times.
Tim Shields so keep your fingers crossed for me, because I will for the first time ever see them live in London, a long time dream finally came true ....
susanne williamsson+ I hope you enjoy the show. I haven't seen the band with their current guitar lineup,but I am sure Harris will have everything running smoothly. I haven't seen them in person since late 80's. I'm kinda jealous of you,I would love to see them again. Especially in London. I'm sure they will try to give their UK fans their best performance
Perfect scene! Bruce foi fundamental para a entrada de janick na banda em 1989 assim como Janick foi fundamental para o retorno de Bruce em 1999, janick ja negociava com Bruce o seu retorno, os dois são grandes amigos!

I've tried memorizing these lyrics and still have trouble singing along with Bruce in my car. Can you imagine playing it live and never once missing a note on the guitar, a drum beat, or a lyric? It's really unbelievable. These guys are amazing. I have the utmost respect for their skill and their professionalism. We are blessed to have lived when they did. Maybe it's how people felt when they heard Mozart or Beethoven live 100's of years ago.
Watching them play live you can tell they really enjoy it and it give it their all every time, every song. I'm Watching this video and thinking to myself how lucky I am to grow up in the Iron maiden Era. Fn awesome !!
Mike Fish it´s definitevly the only band that has the most educational lyrics, not only history but every aspect of life and death, theese guys are quite outstanding lyrically !! Aswell as musically !!
I can only imagine how great Harris must have felt to hear this song with Dickinson for the first time. Blaze is a good singer, but he was wrong for this band. This song finally comes to life here.
+aldersmoke1 Such a brilliant band deserve more awards recognition, do they not? Let's get them some: www.change.org/p/brit-awards-british-phonographic-industry-give-iron-maiden-s-the-book-of-souls-a-best-album-nomination
i prefer it with blaze, because he's the one that sung it lately kept a better voice than bruce dickinson, dickinson now a days is annoying to listen to, his voice is terrible, its not the same.
THE RAW FORCE OF THIS MAGNIFICENT SONG IS OVERWHELMING......The legendary show Rock in Rio is unbelieveable......And the amazing lyrics, WOW, PRICELESS, TIMELESS,POWERFUL......ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING....UP THE IRONS......
NOTHING pumps me up more than this song in this performance. Maiden is the only band I know that actually sounds BETTER live than on album; every metal band on earth should get their audio technicians studying under the brilliant techs who work for Maiden.
THIS is the ultimate song of freedom, a sublime and utter genius tribute to a very precious and fragile thing, freedom !! And performed by the true metal ICONS, Iron Maiden it will forever be outstanding and breathtaking !!! Unfortunately, there are so many that never experienced it......
A phenomenal and intense masterpiece !! The blistering music, amazing lyrics and the emotional and powerful interpretation by Bruce blows you away.....A remarkable unique mix of guitar harmonies, riffs, drums, bass and magical solos....Iron Maiden are second to none, absolutely none !!
I am both Celtic,Scottish and Nordic.Janick Gers' guitar resonates with me and reminds me of my heritage and the limelight of my ancestors.I feel it.UP THE IRONS!
Larry Mccarty that would NOT be a good idea, at all... they both have at least two brilliant albums, made a tremendous impact to the Maiden, and truth to be told, there wouldn´t even be a Maiden if it weren´t for Steve Harris, and since so many fans loves the voice of Paul, we must be grateful to him too...
He has writen some of the best songs from the new Maiden era IMO: Ghost Of The Navigator The Mercenary Dream Of Mirrors Out Of The Silent Planet Dance Of Death The Pilgrim The Legacy The Alchemist The Talisman The Book Of Souls and let's not forgget the 90's ones: Be Quick Or Be Dead Wasting Love Lord Of The Flies Man On The Edge etc...

+Jorge Richards Finally someone who knows and understand how important is janick for iron maiden, the guy knows how to write song and hell... who knows how to play the damn guitar in so many stiles and he is the one who has hell of a fun while playing live. I truly admire nr gers he is the force that keep maiden going and united in the hard times of that Im pretty sure, all those you mentioned are great on its own and lets not forget the aftermath, lord of the flies, lightning strike twice, como estais amigo and many more!
Beefache I would say he is very important, an excellent songwriter, a terrific guitarplayer with a very stylish style and epic hands, and a fantastic showman, born to be on stage......
An iconic, fascinating performance of this outstanding masterpiece...the blistering music, guitar riffs, solos, guitar harmonies and the emotional and powerful interpretation of Bruce, all of it, totally overwhelming....their brilliance and supremecy is clearly shown, and Iron Maiden rise the song to the heights of magic....
Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud And be free and a race That is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free It is right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman... Freedom [x4] It's a time wrough with fear It's a land wrough with change Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has been written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never Be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman...

AlexManU I saw this tour in albuquerque. Halfred opened up played all his shit. Dio came after. Played all his shit. Queensryche next. Then maiden. Brave new world tour. Believe me. It was no normal show. Badest fucking show ever!!!
Born to Noob Actually on the studio version, Steve Harris performed the song with an acoustic bass. Version with Blaze is still my favourite, the chorus sounds much deep and strong, not to mention the way how he manages the crowd to sing the chorus along with him
An absolutely spellbinding masterpiece....their performance is phenomenal, and the masterly interpretation by Bruce is heavenly...without a doubt the one and only band I just couldn´t live without....
The main reason this song is not as popular as some of Maidens most popular songs is because Bruce don't sing it...Most people just look away when they hear blaze singing it without even bothering to see that the real man behind this is Harris
Gregory Chri Are you dumb or something...The original was sung by Blaze ...This came much later and by the time this was out a lot of people had obviously heard the song...By then their opinions about the song had already been formed...It had already been placed way below classics like the number of the beast and the trooper simply because it was sung by Blaze and there were negative opinions about him....If Bruce had sung THE ORIGINAL it would have been pretty popular....I have studied a bit about perception and decision making in college so I have a pretty good idea of how human beings make certain judgemental shortcuts without considering all the factors involved in a situation...
THE RAW FORCE, EMOTIONS, MELODIC TENSIONS OF THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING.....A MASTERPIECE, EPIC, ICONIC AND DOWNRIGHT BREATHTAKING.......SUBLIME..........
An absolutely bewitching, incredible song... They are performing with fury, passion and tenderness, as always...the melodic tension, guitar phrasing, riffs, solos, drums and the godgiven voice of Bruce, wow, a magnificent, overwhelming and downright outstanding performance of this magical, spellbinding song...breathtaking !!!
Rod Viquez Why can I still read all this crappy and downright insulting comments about Blaze ?? I promise you, that guy´s an insanely good singer, just listen to him in the Maiden albums or in his solo albums, and why not try to listen to the Blaze Bayley Band ?
I have listened to a lot of his work, be it both Maiden albums, his solo stuff and nylon and just no... IN MY OPINION he is inferior to Bruce in every way. I even find his voice sounding a little bit amateurish some times and I can't understand why that is. I just don't like it and it looks like the most people don't. You do and some others as well, and that is okay. I just can't see why there have to be constant battles about it. We all like different things in life and that's great, without it we would all love just one girl, who would love just one man and everybody else would be dying in deppression.
Ladislav Husák we all have different opinions, that´s true, but I still don´t like all theese crappy and insulting comments, who ever is the target....all of us love the Maiden and their incredible music, so why not be fair about all their members ? Every single one of them made great contributions and wether anyone likes them or not shouldn´t be a reason for this kind of battles.....unfortunately I don´t think there´s a chance of ending it...
Saw them in Houston a few days ago, can confirm he did say “If your gonna put this on RUclips, make sure you spell it with a ‘C’ not a ‘K’. Different Clan
I´m lost for words....THIS is EUPHORIA....to see and hear this EPIC tribute to feedom come alive and reaching for heaven in their breathtaking performance is MAGIC or even beyond magic......and GUYS this IS HEAVEN !!!
Theese guys have raised the bar, going from classics to IMMORTALS..They are supreme in their progressive music, unmatched, untouched and comparable to none, absolutely none......
I love this song so much!! I was actually jamming to this the other day with my tin whistle! I am sure many Scots and Irish would be able to relate to that!
My good fellows from across the pond..my all time favorite metal band.NO CORPORATE SELLOUTS HERE!!! STILL GOING STRONG FOR 50 YEARS PLUS, MORE THAN THE ENERGIZER BUNNY/!!!!

BRUCE, THE GOD OF METAL!!!!
Massimiliano recchia correction, Maiden, the Gods of metal !!!
O.K.TN, iks
Seeing Bruce sing this masterpiece has moved it to the top of my Playlist where it has been for a full year. It's an absolute work of art.
This has got to be one of the greatest performances Bruce gives to a song from Blaze era. Amazing energy and feeling in his singing.
5:26 Janick - beast mode engaged :D
Marko Becíc Janick´s nr 1 beast, among the other beasts ...
One of Maiden's most awesome, greatest, touching song ever!!! FREEDOM!!!!
I can only imagine how great Harris must have felt to hear this song with Dickinson for the first time. Blaze is a good singer, but he was wrong for this band. This song finally comes to life here.
+aldersmoke1 same with Lord of the Flies ... a highlight on the Death on the Road DVD
Thank you! This song is so much better with Bruce. He's the only Maiden singer for me.
+aldersmoke1 Such a brilliant band deserve more awards recognition, do they not? Let's get them some: www.change.org/p/brit-awards-british-phonographic-industry-give-iron-maiden-s-the-book-of-souls-a-best-album-nomination
+aldersmoke1 I agree
i prefer it with blaze, because he's the one that sung it lately kept a better voice than bruce dickinson, dickinson now a days is annoying to listen to, his voice is terrible, its not the same.
Bruce does a fantastic job here, so as Janik...
It is a rock masterpiece!! Dickinson is one of, if not the best frontman you’ll ever see. It doesn’t get better than this. Enjoy whilst you can!
One of the best shows of Maiden!
Rock In Rio 2001!!!
EPIC! 6:30
rivair junior the ultimate show, I seriously think it couldn´t ever be topped, not even by themselves...it was EPIC...
Maybe Maiden haven´t invented the metal genre, but they´ve surely perfected it......to UNREACHABLE levels....
Europe Clansmans!!! They taking you land, WAKE UP!!! FREEDOM!!!!
Bruce Version is the best!
FREEDOM!
What a piece of music...
The guitar solo. That solo ending at 5.10. No words.
A MAIOR BANDA DE ROCK DA HISTÓRIA UNIVERSAL.
Amèm
No translation required ;)
UP THE IRONS!!!
ohhh yessss!!!!!
Thats called Legend
God bless these guys! They are so talented!!!
THE RAW FORCE OF THIS MAGNIFICENT SONG IS OVERWHELMING......The legendary show Rock in Rio is unbelieveable......And the amazing lyrics, WOW, PRICELESS, TIMELESS,POWERFUL......ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING....UP THE IRONS......
Esse show sem duvida foi dos melhores de todos os tempo em performance tocaram demais ✌🏼
NOTHING pumps me up more than this song in this performance. Maiden is the only band I know that actually sounds BETTER live than on album; every metal band on earth should get their audio technicians studying under the brilliant techs who work for Maiden.
Europe Clansmans!!! They taking you land, WAKE UP!!! FREEDOM!!!!
que saudade de quando Rock in Rio era Rock in Rio....q banda FODAAAAAAA
Verdade man. Eu tive honra em está nesse show
I just love how much they love performing. Especially the drummer's enthusiasm!
Matthew Vella, I don´t think they actually performs it, They live it....
THIS is the ultimate song of freedom, a sublime and utter genius tribute to a very precious and fragile thing, freedom !! And performed by the true metal ICONS, Iron Maiden it will forever be outstanding and breathtaking !!! Unfortunately, there are so many that never experienced it......
Lovin' the trousers Brucey!
iron maidem a melhor banda de metal do mundo
Amèm
Concordo!!!!
Same with Sign of the Cross. Really wish they would re record those 2 albums with Bruce.
O meu pai da banda
Depois de 11 anos tocaram essa novamente em 2019
Maravilhoso o show do RIR 2019
E foi épico! \m/\m/
Coitado do Blaze.
Eu tava lá surreal!
Estava lá. Foi Mágico! O riff de guitarra cantado em coro pelo público. Lembrança eterna detectada!!
A phenomenal and intense masterpiece !! The blistering music, amazing lyrics and the emotional and powerful interpretation by Bruce blows you away.....A remarkable unique mix of guitar harmonies, riffs, drums, bass and magical solos....Iron Maiden are second to none, absolutely none !!
I am both Celtic,Scottish and Nordic.Janick Gers' guitar resonates with me and reminds me of my heritage and the limelight of my ancestors.I feel it.UP THE IRONS!
Es la mejor banda de Heavy Metal de la Historia!
I'd love to see a compilation of Bruce redoing all the Blaze and DiAnno songs!
That wouldn't be a smart idea because that would be Iron Maiden giving the finger to DiAnno and Blaze.
Larry Mccarty that would NOT be a good idea, at all... they both have at least two brilliant albums, made a tremendous impact to the Maiden, and truth to be told, there wouldn´t even be a Maiden if it weren´t for Steve Harris, and since so many fans loves the voice of Paul, we must be grateful to him too...
4:39 I once said Gers didn't belong. How stupid I was. This is what makes Maiden that good.
He has writen some of the best songs from the new Maiden era IMO:
Ghost Of The Navigator
The Mercenary
Dream Of Mirrors
Out Of The Silent Planet
Dance Of Death
The Pilgrim
The Legacy
The Alchemist
The Talisman
The Book Of Souls
and let's not forgget the 90's ones:
Be Quick Or Be Dead
Wasting Love
Lord Of The Flies
Man On The Edge
etc...
+Beefache Such a brilliant band deserve more awards recognition, do they not? Let's get them some: www.change.org/p/brit-awards-british-phonographic-industry-give-iron-maiden-s-the-book-of-souls-a-best-album-nomination
+Jorge Richards Respect
+Jorge Richards Finally someone who knows and understand how important is janick for iron maiden, the guy knows how to write song and hell... who knows how to play the damn guitar in so many stiles and he is the one who has hell of a fun while playing live. I truly admire nr gers he is the force that keep maiden going and united in the hard times of that Im pretty sure, all those you mentioned are great on its own and lets not forget the aftermath, lord of the flies, lightning strike twice, como estais amigo and many more!
Beefache I would say he is very important, an excellent songwriter, a terrific guitarplayer with a very stylish style and epic hands, and a fantastic showman, born to be on stage......
Absolutely incredible. I hope I can see Maiden live one day!
An iconic, fascinating performance of this outstanding masterpiece...the blistering music, guitar riffs, solos, guitar harmonies and the emotional and powerful interpretation of Bruce, all of it, totally overwhelming....their brilliance and supremecy is clearly shown, and Iron Maiden rise the song to the heights of magic....
Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race
That is part of a clan
And to live on highlands
And the air that you breathe
So pure and so clean
When alone on the hills
With the wind in your hair
With a longing to feel
Just to be free
It is right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
Can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman...
Freedom [x4]
It's a time wrough with fear
It's a land wrough with change
Ancestors could hear
What is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
That the land of the free
Has been written in chains
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
And I swear to defend
And we'll fight to the end
And I swear that I'll never
Be taken alive
And I know that we'll stand
And we'll fight for our land
And I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman...
Freedom [x4]
[x2]
No, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We've the land of the free
No, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We've the land of the free
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Freedom [x4]
It is right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
Can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman...
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman...
Freedom [x4]
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman...
Sean Mcgee #Baconman
I get goose bumps every time I read those lyrics!
@@arthurbridges5306 i love the bacon man, he is a legend
I've heard this so many times that i can hear Bruce singing in my head as i read it.
@@petrdanko6645 true. This is the best video on RUclips
IRON MAIDEN FOREVER !!!!!
Ricardo Pineda Iron Maiden, will live forever, in our hearts, minds and souls.....
The more i listen to this, the more i like it, and it sounds better than the original, or is just me?
Filip S no Blaze is not mediocre at all....but in this particular song I do prefer Bruce, somehow he lifts the song all the way to heaven !!!
Blaze is not anywhere near the talent level of bruce.
Tf.
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!! Incredible performance........
haha. I love listening to the drums. Drummers have no room for error but Nicko still gets every hit right; big respect!
7:14-7:29 Nothing to see here. just a normal Iron Maiden concert
AlexESC *Ivan Dickinson*
AlexManU normal ????? This was the best concert EVER, and I truly believe it couldn´t be topped by anyone, not even themselves ....
AlexManU I saw this tour in albuquerque. Halfred opened up played all his shit. Dio came after. Played all his shit. Queensryche next. Then maiden. Brave new world tour. Believe me. It was no normal show. Badest fucking show ever!!!
Sarcasm dumbasses
Sounds better with acoustic bass , awesome Steve , awesome maiden!! Up the irons!
Also sounds alot better with Bruce singing compared to the album version with Blaze
Haha that's true , Bruce Dickson is way better than Blaze
Born to Noob Actually on the studio version, Steve Harris performed the song with an acoustic bass. Version with Blaze is still my favourite, the chorus sounds much deep and strong, not to mention the way how he manages the crowd to sing the chorus along with him
LA MEJOR BANDA DEL MUNDO 😢😢😢😢😢
An absolutely spellbinding masterpiece....their performance is phenomenal, and the masterly interpretation by Bruce is heavenly...without a doubt the one and only band I just couldn´t live without....
My favourite Janick’s solo. He finally put some feelings in it, and that little STOP at 5:00 is brilliant.
So much better with Bruce on vocals!!!!!!
That's no shit.
Everything is better with him.
The main reason this song is not as popular as some of Maidens most popular songs is because Bruce don't sing it...Most people just look away when they hear blaze singing it without even bothering to see that the real man behind this is Harris
This is the Bruce version, stupido!
Gregory Chri Are you dumb or something...The original was sung by Blaze ...This came much later and by the time this was out a lot of people had obviously heard the song...By then their opinions about the song had already been formed...It had already been placed way below classics like the number of the beast and the trooper simply because it was sung by Blaze and there were negative opinions about him....If Bruce had sung THE ORIGINAL it would have been pretty popular....I have studied a bit about perception and decision making in college so I have a pretty good idea of how human beings make certain judgemental shortcuts without considering all the factors involved in a situation...
ÉPICO el tema, y también la danza de Nicko y la de Bruce después jajaj
Jajajaja.verdad
a melhor performance dessa musica
essa musica foi a melhor performance da historia do rock in rio
@@diegorabelo3493 Sing of the cross, dream of mirrors. Esse show é bom como um todo!
Melhor rock in Rio do IRON foi o 2001!!!
Máximo respeito ao de 85
THE RAW FORCE, EMOTIONS, MELODIC TENSIONS OF THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING.....A MASTERPIECE, EPIC, ICONIC AND DOWNRIGHT BREATHTAKING.......SUBLIME..........
An absolutely bewitching, incredible song... They are performing with fury, passion and tenderness, as always...the melodic tension, guitar phrasing, riffs, solos, drums and the godgiven voice of Bruce, wow, a magnificent, overwhelming and downright outstanding performance of this magical, spellbinding song...breathtaking !!!
The stuff from the Blaze era sounds great......when Bruce sings it that it.
Rod Viquez you sir, deserve a big cookie.
can i have one too :3
Rod Viquez Why can I still read all this crappy and downright insulting comments about Blaze ?? I promise you, that guy´s an insanely good singer, just listen to him in the Maiden albums or in his solo albums, and why not try to listen to the Blaze Bayley Band ?
I have listened to a lot of his work, be it both Maiden albums, his solo stuff and nylon and just no... IN MY OPINION he is inferior to Bruce in every way. I even find his voice sounding a little bit amateurish some times and I can't understand why that is. I just don't like it and it looks like the most people don't. You do and some others as well, and that is okay. I just can't see why there have to be constant battles about it. We all like different things in life and that's great, without it we would all love just one girl, who would love just one man and everybody else would be dying in deppression.
Ladislav Husák we all have different opinions, that´s true, but I still don´t like all theese crappy and insulting comments, who ever is the target....all of us love the Maiden and their incredible music, so why not be fair about all their members ? Every single one of them made great contributions and wether anyone likes them or not shouldn´t be a reason for this kind of battles.....unfortunately I don´t think there´s a chance of ending it...
I would not complain if this one be in the set of Book of Souls World Tour. Amazing one. Would be awesome to listen it alive. Up the Irons!
+Alessandro Friolibilherbeck Sadly it is not part of their setlist
+Jesus Godinez can you blame them??? can you fit 30 years in only 1.30 hours???
Alessandro Frioli I’m here from the future to tell you that this song and ‘Sign Of The Cross’ are both performed live on their 2018 tour
Just saw this concert in Canada, killed myself laughing when Bruce said he had to explain the spelling of this song in the southern States
Saw them in Houston a few days ago, can confirm he did say “If your gonna put this on RUclips, make sure you spell it with a ‘C’ not a ‘K’. Different Clan
I´m lost for words....THIS is EUPHORIA....to see and hear this EPIC tribute to feedom come alive and reaching for heaven in their breathtaking performance is MAGIC or even beyond magic......and GUYS this IS HEAVEN !!!
Theese guys have raised the bar, going from classics to IMMORTALS..They are supreme in their progressive music, unmatched, untouched and comparable to none, absolutely none......
"It's a time when you die, And without asking why" FREEDOM !!!
Get well soon Bruce!
5:44 - 6:31 - Goosebumps all over my skin
6:32 - MY SOUL LEFT THE BODY
ÉPICO DEMAIS, PQP 😍😍😍😍
this song is amazing.........my soul is in Heaven.........
Europe Clansmans!!! They taking you land, WAKE UP!!! FREEDOM!!!!
I love this song so much!! I was actually jamming to this the other day with my tin whistle! I am sure many Scots and Irish would be able to relate to that!
This is magnificent in so many different levels. Pure excellence
The best version of the song to date
Harris is a god
Eddie Van Halen like all the others, the GODS OF HEAVY METAL.....
Eddie The Head
God is Harris
Idiotism :))))))
Dickinson is a god!
DAMN!.. seriously, Does it get any better than this?!
Keith Holm no, this is as good, and as epic, as it gets !!!
Keith Holm absolutely not
My good fellows from across the pond..my all time favorite metal band.NO CORPORATE SELLOUTS HERE!!! STILL GOING STRONG FOR 50 YEARS PLUS, MORE THAN THE ENERGIZER BUNNY/!!!!
One of the best covers of this song!!!!
