HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (LIVE 82') | GENUINE REACTION 

Notice how Bruce points up just a couple verses in. He's telling the sound booth that he can't hear his voice and needs the mic louder. True professional. And he flies the Boeing Jet around the world for tours. Hats off to that guy.

The audience never heard this before. The album wasn’t yet released. Historical night!!

I'm a 53 year old woman and still love watching/listening to this version! 😉

I was at this gig, it was an amazing experience.

A bloody masterpiece!!!!!!!

This was their 1st performance of this track, the audience hadn't even heard it on an album as the album hadn't yet been released. Such a great track. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

That bass tone is unreal!

Up the Irons!!! This band kills!! One of the greats!!

England gave us all a lot of amazing things, including the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and tons of other awesome bands. But, England also gave us their greatest offering ever--Iron Maiden. Up the irons!!!

One of my favorite Maiden tracks and in my opinion this is the absolute best recorded performance of it. Performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in front of a small intimate crowd. The band and the audio technicians nailed this entire show. Hard to believe it was recorded in 1982 with how good the sound quality is. You're in for a treat.

By Christmas Day next year, the name alone of this band will be 50 years old. Whatever your view on them, you cannot deny their influence and longevity. Indeed, my older brother introduced me to their first album when I was a kid.

IRON MAIDEN TOP BAND IN THE 80'S

the sands of time are running loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Favorite song of all time! This will liven you up!!!!

I first heard them in 1988, when I was 13. I loved everything about them, the guitars in harmony, the galloping feel to their songs and Bruce's emotionally charged voice. They were way better than anything else I'd heard at the time and I couldn't wait to hear more. I became obsessed with their 1985 album 'Live After Death' simply because it was live. It took me into what it'd be like to experience them at a concert and I couldn't wait to see them for the first time. I'm just glad I got to grow up with really fantastic music.

Iron Maiden is the best, most consistent live band. You won't be disappointed by any live Maiden. You need to go see them on their next tour!

Iron maiden was formed in 1975, and had already undergone a number of lineup changes by 1982. Lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson joined the band in 1981. Talking of small venues, they started off playing in pubs, although they have continued playing in smaller venues as well as the likes of stadia. I saw them in Ayr Pavillion in south west Scotland in 1990.

There's nothing like a Maiden concert and nowadays seeing 3 generations from families at concerts shows their enduring appeal. I saw Bruce and his band recently and he stills holds that stage.

THIS SONG made me and Iron Maiden fan!🤘

Saw them live. The last time with my sons. It was awesome They are one of the most important metal bands ever. Rock in Rio is a must for you. The crowd is crazy good.

One of their best songs played live to perfection! 🤘

Maiden gets 1/4 the respect and accolades they deserve.

One of the best songs of all time ,love it.

There is a very specific reason Iron Maiden is considered one of the greatest live bands of all time. Go to a concert and witness it in person and you will understand.

I love Iron Maiden!!! I'm nearly 60 & I've been lucky enough to enjoy such classic bands!!!I'm soooo excited for September I'm going to see these legends live in Sydney Australia supported by Killswitch Engaged. The last of the great rockers!!! Thank you for sharing loved it ❤️

The Beast over Hammersmith is so epic. Up the Irons🤘🏼🤘🏼

It can be argued that this song is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, in rock history. Certainly, this performance, from 1982, it simply incredible. Great reaction

I told you you have to see them live. Finally you listened :). And the older they get the better they are on stage. Actual Iron Maiden is pure joy to watch.

Iron Maiden , Stranger In A Strange Land!

They were such a great band. I don't think there's a modern band that wouldn't fall apart half way through trying to play this live.

this is such a great performance!

Hang in there. And thanks for keeping music from my day alive.

Bruce has a great voice ...Run to the Hills my fav one 💌🇨🇦

Bruce "The Human Air Raid Siren" Dickinson joined Iron Maiden in 1981 and they are still touring as of 2024. With the same energy, presence and power. Bruce did reach the age limit and cannot pilot himself the private jet of the band anymore, and he did lose a bit of his extreme vocal range and endurance after beating throat cancer, so he's not able to hold that 26 seconds high note anymore, and he "only" has a 5 octaves range anymore. His biography is astonnishing, he's an Olympic-level fencer, a philantropist, flew the 747 jet of the band himself into war zone to bring relief supplies, has written children books, has owned his own flight school and flying company, and sooooo much more. Dig in, dig deep, you won't regret it !

in the 1970's Iron Maiden played regularly at a venue where I grew in Kingsbury NW London. Called the Bandwagon it was a 700 capacity hall that was attached to a pub called the Prince of Wales. Unfortunately it's no longer there & is now a Tesco Metro or similar. "From small acorns mighty oaks do grow".

These guys are top tier musicians. Intelligent and professional. The two guitarists have to be in perfect sync at times and it takes focus. You can't be jumping all over the place at those times. Bruce Dickenson is a powerhouse. And is actually pilots a jet liner. I love his solo Man of Sorrows. A metal like ballad Great reaction. Thanks!

Bruce Dickenson. Singer. Iron maiden. AND - - - He undertook a career as a commercial pilot for Astraeus Airlines, which led to a number of media-reported ventures such as captaining Iron Maiden's converted charter aeroplane, Ed Force One, during their world tours. Following Astraeus' closure, in 2012 he created his own aircraft maintenance and pilot training company, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presented his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music from 2002 to 2010, and has also hosted television documentaries, authored novels and film scripts, created a beer with Robinsons Brewery and competed at fencing internationally

Maiden is one of the best live bands you’ll ever see! I know they’re the best I’ve seen! The only thing I don’t enjoy about this video is that they didn’t show enough of Adrian Smith during his solo. He’s the man!!!! Thanks for doing this!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️

A lot of people forget that this song was written and recorded only a few months before this Hammersmith performance, which took place prior to the album's release. So it's not like they'd played it live for years. It was brand new.

UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🤘 Truly legendary musicians, and a legendary band!

'Bout time! OZZY, Priest & Maiden... I picked a bad time to stop day drinking!

This video is a desert island classic for sure. I can always listen to this performance. Great to see your reaction and glad you liked it

maiden is back !!! at last !!!! so many songs to discover, lots of bangers indeed !!!! you really have to dive into it !!!!

That BASS just chugging along in that interlude!!!CHUNKY AF!

Brilliant. Can't wait for this one .This is one of Iron maidens most Iconic Songs But best version is rock in rio live .or Live after death 😊🤘🤘🤘❤

Amazing reaction as always! An incredible live performance! The whole song is excellent, but this one gets me because it was live and the impeccable timing is unreal!

Bet this goes on the playlist, Great band ! Great song !🤘

Live is great, but even better in person. Feeling the base in ur chest, the vibe from the band, the vibe from the fans, the full atmosphere, its addicting and why Ive been going to concerts since I was 10 in 75. Yes, I had the coolest Aunt, I blame her, lol. Thanx, Peace

Yay!!! Another Maiden reaction, fantastic reaction as always. Iron Maiden : Purgatory

My buddy won a trip to London in December 1988 from radio station 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia. We discovered that Iron Maiden was playing at the Hammersmith Odeon that week with the Killer Dwarves and luckily got tickets. A lifetime memory I'll never forget. I still have the Odeon security staff sweatshirt I bought from one of the security dudes for 20 quid! Up the Irons! 😎🔥🎸

I remember just sitting in my room listening to this album, I was 13 or 14. I thought I was discovering a great singer. lol. Apparently I wasn't the only one and to this day Bruce is still one of The Best!!!!

Yes! Looking forward to this.

This was Bruce’s first tour with Maiden. I was fortunate enough to see them on this tour. They were opening for The Scorpions. They completely stole the show. I don’t believe they ever opened again.

Iron Maiden are the kings of Metal They may not be as heavy as other metal bands but they still kick ass. They formed nearly 50 years ago in 1975.

You are correct about the increased tempo, Iron Maiden usually speed it up a little live, especially in the early days.

This was professionally shot, intended for VHS release, but the firm that was hired f'ed things up so badly that the project was scrapped. The film sat for many years and some of it was actually lost or destroyed. That's why obvious parts are missing, like no focus on Adrian's solo in this song.

A real treat.

yeah nah for this song this is the best version clearly, in fact I didnt really care for the album version, but now its one of their best for me.

Up the IRONS 🤘 Capn 🏴‍☠️☘️

Can't believe that as a POM you've never heard your own national band. The Maiden started back in the late 70s and are still around today. One of the greatest bands ever.

Unbelievable performance

What I felt upon listening now (and I’ve listened to it many dozens of times) is that the fast, furious section including the solos, narratively, is the condemned man grappling with his fate and rebelling against the certainty of his execution. Very moving song!

Brilliant song!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

One of the great rock voices!

About bloody time ❤

Welcome to good music!!

This concert was from 1982 on the tour for Iron Maiden's 3rd album (their 1st w/ singer Bruce Dickinson) 'The number of the beast'... The venue was the Hammersmith Odeon (now Eventim Apollo) in London. The live record was titled 'Beast over Hammersmith'. Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 by Steve Harris (bass) in London as a pub band... they would perform cover songs as well as original songs that Harris was writing (early songs like 'Wrathchild' ... 'Innocent exile' ... 'Iron Maiden' ... 'Invasion'... etc.) Harris was always searching for talent to improve the band's live sound and execution... he met Dave Murray (guitar) in 1976 and asked him to join Maiden... After some line-up shifts, Dave Murray joined permanently by 1977 w/ Doug Sampson (drums)... Paul Di'Annno (vocals) joined in '77 as well and Iron Maiden spent years playing gigs across the UK while holding down day jobs... They built a huge following but had some trouble finding a 2nd guitarist for their dual-lead guitar sound (a few guitarists came and went!) In 1979, Iron Maiden was finally signed to EMI Records, just as Doug Sampson was leaving the band... their 1980 debut album was recorded w/ Clive Burr (drums) and Dennis Stratton (2nd guitar)... and the album charted at #4 in the UK... Paul Di'Anno had a punk rock edge to his vocals and that made Maiden very popular in Europe as they toured the rest of the year. Adrian Smith (2nd guitar) replaced Dennis Stratton before they recorded 2nd album 'Killers' in 1981... the band toured N. America and Japan for the first time. However, the extensive touring led to singer Paul Di'Anno unable to cope w/ the demands of Iron Maiden - he parted ways w/ the band in '81 and was replaced by Bruce Dickinson (vocals) Maiden's sound became streamlined in 1982 w/ 3rd album 'The number of the beast' and it went to #1 on the UK charts and sold platinum (1 million copies) in the US... Nicko McBrain (drums) replaced Clive Burr in 1983 for 4th album 'Piece of Mind' - another platinum hit as Iron Maiden became an arena heavy metal band w/ the release of 5th album 'Powerslave' in 1984. There is an early concert video 'Live at the Rainbow' which Iron Maiden filmed in late 1980 at the Rainbow Theater w/ Paul Di'Anno on vocals, performing early Maiden songs like - 'Phantom of the Opera' ... 'Wrathchild' ... 'Remember tomorrow'... 'Killers'... 🔥🤘 'Beast over Hammersmith' was filmed in 1982 but not released (at the time) because of technical issues w/ the footage and lighting. 'Live after death' was Maiden's first official live album, filmed and recorded at Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, California on the 1984 'Powerslave' tour... released in 1985. They released the concert video 'Maiden England' in 1988 filmed on the tour for 'Seventh son of a seventh son'. On the 1992/ '93 tour for 'Fear of the dark'... Maiden filmed their Donington '92 festival set... and what was supposed to be Bruce Dickinson's final show (He announced that he was leaving Iron Maiden in 1993) was a Pay-per-view event filmed w/ horror illusionist Simon Drake as host... It was released in '93 as the concert video 'Raising Hell'. The band did not officially record or release any concert video when Blaze Bayley (vocals) was in Iron Maiden from 1995 til 1998... but they did release a live clip of the song 'Afraid to shoot strangers' w/ Bayley on vocals in '96.

Hammy Odeon was THE venue in the 70s & 80s.An old Victorian cinema that held about 4000 over 2 levels and that top tear moved...like, a LOT when the banging started. If you stood still it was effing scary so you just got your head down and joined bounce so you didnt feel it...🤘

My very first concert ever was Iron Maiden when I was 12 in 1983. Saw them again in 1985 and a 3rd time about 10-12 years ago. They sounded just as good all those years later. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I saw them in 1982 on the East Coast, My senior year, and was hitting the concerts of great bands, Great times❤😊

Still remember the T shirt I bought at this concert, wish I had all my old concert T shirts for sure...

The bloody height of the NWOBHM (1982), and here were the undisputed leaders! UP THE IRONS!

It's crazy that they're out there 42 years later still doing the same thing and hardly worse for the wear.

They are professionals they don't need to get people hyped the music does the talking. Great reaction. One of my five all-time favorite EVER. 🤘 UP THE IRONS 🤘

Watching Bruce live always makes me think he was a hyperactive child! He has so much energy! I mean come on he runs around like a crazy man on stage and still has those great vocals while doing it! Insane!

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden, my holy trinity!!!❤

I remember playing this song in high school in 1984 yes I was the fastest guy in high school but great Iron Maiden Track

Awesome job sir, I can see how you are evolving, what a joy!

Sending healing vibes from Canada ❤

Oh my god what a tune what a band wvey tune is amazing especially live

I've been waiting for this since you've started!

I hope it's the live video. Molly, see these guys in concert bruv! You need too! They sound amazing live, better than any video or album, simply amazing! All the best.

My favourite maiden song! I’m a 55 year ld women and have loved Iron Maiden since I was about 12. The guitarist Janick Gers lives near me and I often see him in our local shopping centre or local village having a pint. Very quiet guy!! You wouldn’t believe he as a member of one of the biggest bands in the world…. Iron maiden started around the mid 70s when I was 6. You need to watch them do their tours when the lead singer Bruce Dickinson pilots the boing 757 ..now that something!, Apparently Bruce Dickinson is worth around £130 million dollars alone

Concert was in March 1982 a few days before the Number of the Beast album was released. The audience is hearing this song for the very first time.

Back then to play at the Hammersmith Odeon was the pinnacle for many bands. The Hammersmith Odeon is an iconic venue or the Hammersmith Apollo as it's known today .

I saw them at Hammersmith a couple of times... iconic venue 🤘

The last time I saw them live was at a small venue when they toured after Bruce and Adrian rejoined the band. Yes they both had sadly left for a time. It was a place called the Aragon Ballroom (the Brawlroom) here in Chicago. Walking out of the place you could still feel the bass! It was crazy!

I saw them in 1983. Was phenomenal🔥

Not being around much after 82, I'm rolling on the floor!!!

Great decidio for live version 👋

That bass is incredible!

The most energetic concert I have even been to was Maiden in 1985. I saw them a few years ago and they seemed just as energetic, but I wasn't quiet as such.

The almighty Iron Maiden... Yes brother up with the horns ... How about that booming bass line .. his voice is epic .. the whole band just perfection

Still rocking it hard today. A great live show

This is so amazing live and all those years ago

Love this band too & when I was young I kept drawing Eddie his monster, they have great art

I saw them on this tour in 82 at Golddiggers nightclub Chippenham Wiltshire, so much smaller venues back then

My 2nd time seeing Maiden was on this tour, a few days prior to this when they played the Colston Hall in Bristol - they were, of course, amazing 🤘

Masterpiece!

I seen Iron Maiden in 1983 Piece Of Mind Tour in Toronto 🇨🇦 I was 18 years old. Front row center stage It was a killer night. Wish I could do it all over again!!!!
