My favorite Iron Maiden album is Killers. Red Rider was known for the song "Lunatic Fringe."They featured Tom Cochrane who had a hit with "Life is a Highway."
Another viewer of this video mentioned Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. It's was a song inspired by the shooting of John Lennon. Yes they are Canadian and from my home province and turned out to have an awesome library of tunes. Another fun fact in case you didn't know, the album mentioned in the article As Far As Siam. Siam is now known as Bangkok which is where I am currently, well kinda, I am in Thailand at the beach about 3 hours from Bangkok.
For Iron Maiden I would have have to go with "Piece of Mind" this was the first time I saw them. The album I think is more melodic than "Powerslave" plus the songs don't have that ultimate annoying familiarity of "Number of The Beast". I sort of lost interest in Iron Maiden following "Powerslave" I'll see them for the third and last time this year, will be interesting to see what they play.
Yes it was Grand Prix. I vaguely recall at the end of the gig the Grand Prix lads wandered on stage with towels around their waists, which Iron Maiden tried to remove. "Samurai" was a great title for Album with the neon warrior. Robin McAuley always sings so well, wish he was given more credit for his work. I have not been able to get this out of my head all day "Shout a bit louder , louder. can you hear me" repeat.. Some of these songs would not be out of place on a Foreigner or Def Leppard album.

Ah, I'll check that out - I'd never heard of them.
My favorite Iron Maiden album is Poweslave except when I change mind and it's Number of the Beast or Live After Death. It's always one if those three.
Classics!
Love that magazine l have nr 1 to nr 25 in mint 👍🤘
I love looking through these old mags, takes me right back!
Interesting to see how many of these bands are still on the go 40 years later. Can we same the same for the pop world. I don’t think so.
Yeah, I totally agree - no chance any of the modern pop bands would have that kinda lifelong interest for fans.
👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah, I had never heard of them before - going to check that out. Nice location to be watching from, Sir - enjoy the waves!
I love the first four or five Maiden albums more or less equally, but I think the debut has a certain mystique that gives it an edge over the others.
My favourite Maiden album is Killers, I've always preferred Paul to Bruce.
Definitely a rawer edge on the first 2 albums.

First time I saw them as well! Wasn't lucky enough to catch the earlier tours. Great gig - might have been Grand Prix as support?
