Iron Maiden - Bruce sells Live after Death on the streets of NYC - 1985 tour 

Bruce sells… but who’s buying?

Imagine being on the street and a wild Bruce Dickinson appears trying to sell you one of his albums

And nobody even noticed how close they could have been to receiving an authentic, Bruce Dickinson-signed copy of the best live metal album ever.

"if Napoleon would have had one of these, he would have beat the english at waterloo"

0:27 Instead of selling it to you for a $100, I'll sell it to you for $99.99 lol

Bruce is so damn adorable❤️ Iron Maiden is kickass! Why couldn’t I have run into Bruce? These people were clueless!

Aaah that is why he needed his own plane - to never ever have to sell his record on NYC streets again 😄

*You know strangers are thinking "Get away from me you crazy bum!" and then he jumps in a limo and takes off.....awesome!*

You only ever notice how short Bruce is when he’s off the stage.

Aahh.. the 80s 😢 Best decade of music. Iron Maiden forever 🤘🏻

I remember back in the early 80's waiting outside of the San Diego Sports Arena for a Maiden show. Bruce walked up the ramp from the backstage area to the parking lot and just walked across the lot, across the street to Tower Records. He looked like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, with a group of fans in tow. Great guy! Great memories!

Crazy thing is this guy is still out there doing gigs and looks healthier and wilder than ever, and pilots his own airplane between gigs. Pretty amazing dude.

And no one realized who he was. They thought he was another bum. And that guy pilots 747 airliners.

I'm from Brazil and here we have a say: "God only gives biscuit to the teethless ones"...that's exactly the feeling of this video...

0:37 Bruce selling the album to Adrian Smith

NYC, this doesn't surprise me. I live in Sydney and when I first met this good mate of mine, he told me he went to Ashfield Boys High School. I said "that must be so cool going to the school of Angus and Malcolm"... he said "who?" I said "Angus and Malcolm Young of Accadacca"... he was still confused. I said "you know... AC/DC... the guitarist even wears that school's bloody school uniform on the stage"... He still had no idea what I was talking about. And no, he wasn't having me on. Apparently he only listens to RnB and by RnB, I ain't talking rhythm n blues. I never thought it was even legal to be in Australia without knowing who AC/DC were.

Best thing on RU-vid ever

1982, we met Iron Maiden at a small reord store in Toledo, Ohio. I think it was Bruce's first time touring the States. We were 17 and 18, they must have been early 20s... everyone high as fu*k, great time! They were SO cool, and rowdy... we got Maiden stickers, patches, frisbees... not once did I think to get "Number of the Beast" autographed, or take any pictures. Hahaha... fu*k. They opened for 38 Special and Rainbow that night. GREAT SHOW!! (Gawd, I'm old... haha)

Bruce: I need to go to ENGLAND! Me: Take my money and hire me as a roadie

No better way to start the day than watching madman bruce. Thanks for the awesome vid man, brought a much needed laugh in a year that's been sorely lacking!

So cool! Of course any Maiden fan would have bought that and got it signed on the spot! Up the Irons! \m/\m/

You're telling me this is what he sounds like when he's not singing? What? He doesn't sound like a young God but like a member of Monty Python.

Oh-Oh I'm an alien,I'm a legal alien🎶 I'm an Englishman in New York🎶 0:42 Hair clipper Wanted !!

One of the best recordings of all time. An authentic: "Dickinson 'Peddler' Albums" would be worth over a hudred times what he was asking.

The literal meaning of Stranger in a strange land. It's not a coincidence that they released that song just one year later, right?

this is priceless lol

Haha Bruce always the joker. always messing around

This channel digs out some true gems!

One of the best live albums of the twenty century.

Insane that at that time... nobody jumped on him and bought all of these original LPs...

*Mal sabiam eles que esse cara seria futuramente um dos maiores nomes da música mundial,obrigado Bruce!*

Those people had no idea that they were standing next to one of the most legendary and incredible vocalists in Heavy Metal, while he was trying to sell them one of his best live albums.

Dickinson.....Dickinson no one else....unbelievable....what a character....up the Irons

1985 was a great year and Maiden is the greatest band ever.

WTF. I have seen him once in my life and i didn't have the possibility to talk with him. And now i see people who have never heard about the gods rejecting Bruce. WTF life isn't fair

This is the same as Justin Bieber going to a concert of Iron Maiden and trying to sell his first album to the people who are attending it

I bought Live After Death on vinyl at a flea market a few years ago, it was in near mint condition, got it for like $5.00 when I got home I realized the tour book inside was signed by Bruce, Nikko & Adrian.......my OCD goes crazy knowing I will probably never get a chance to have Steve and Dave finish signing it......great video!

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk. I'm an Englishman in New York.

Lpm !porque nací en el lugar y año equivocado ?😍

Can't believe nobody recognize Bruce????

This is gold

He seems a nice guy i hope he had sell all his albums, that band deserves support they have talent.

Bruuuce dickinson the greeeeaaatttt He iiiiis a legeeeend amongst mortal man

*Drops album* Bruce: There goes another one!

1:13 - reminds me of the time the Three Stooges asked a cabbie to drive them from Hollywood (?) to Egypt!! (He drove them to Egypt!)

This guy never stops surprising me

This is excelnt Mr. Bruce.

0:37 Was that Adrian Smith doing the role of a potential customer? :D

Jajaja YOU KNOW THIS REALLY IS THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Bruce sells...But who’s buying?

0:37 for a moment I was sure that dude in the middle was Steve Harris

Lmao! I lost it, when Bruce let out that scream! 🤣 It came so unexpectedly!

Wish I was there but I wasn't even born at that time lol I would be glad af when I get to meet Bruce that time haha

That scream at 0:43 is hilarious! 🤣

He don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

- Mr. Paul Bruce Dickinson 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎤😎👊

What a goofy man, we love you Bruce

@Yosh Shmenge Nope! Live After Death is a MUCH BETTER live album!!!

Holy crap I used to live in NYC at that time. I wonder what street this was on. Kinda looks like the upper west side. Imagine running into Bruce while walking the streets of Manhattan! Up the irons! 🤘🤘🤘

I also have this on double vinyl, but if i'd been there, i would of helped Bruce out, got it autographed, and it would be worth a good few bob now.

Man if you want to know what Bruce looked like during the Rigorus World Slavery Tour when he wasn’t on stage this is him!! I can’t imagine being in the Maiden Machine during this period of their career. Bruce must have been enjoying the months off after the tour ended. I like how One of the roadies picked Bruce up, I couldn’t tell if that was Vic Vella Or not

@francion alves LMAO!!! Bruce Dickinson is a LOT BETTER than Di'Anno in EVERY way!!! Bruce treats people MUCH better than Di'Anno who only seems to whine about everything and talking s**t about people behind their backs! And Bruce is a MUCH BETTER singer than Di'Anno could EVER BE!!!

I mean, if Bruce pick up a rock from the street and sell it to me, I'll buy it (And sell it again on Ebay)

I will never forget that night I saw that concert on MTV. 🤘🏻

OMG, those people don’t know the legendary artist they are turning down. I sure could use that Delorean just about now.

Well, the real reason Napoleon didn't win at Waterloo was because a certain volcano blew its top and ushered in inclement weather some time chronologically downwind. As a result, he couldn't get his big guns into position and put our side to the sword. Speaking of swords, a fencing weapon might have more lightweight and thus easier to wield in battle. 'Cos when your gun powder is all saturated with teeming rain, a plan b is a life saver. Up the irons.

Meu Deus, ninguém imaginaria que esse carinha iria se tornar um ícone do Heavy Metal! 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Quem me dera voltar ao passado

Bruce Bruce WE ALL FUCKING LOVE YOU!!!!

This aged great 👌

It feels like I'm watching one of the Monty Python sketches :)

Im surprised l didn't see Bruce on the streets oh Manhattan in 1985, l was 19 years old and into Maiden .🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is the key! I wish one of us had met that great savage of the tribe! People who are far from metal, do not imagine who they were interacting with. Excellent Bruce !! As always a great and very funny showman

@Dodi ben Abba Lmao! Nope. He SAVED Maiden!!!

live after death was the first hard rock cassette tape I bought when I was 10. Up the Iron's mates. 🤘

Ninguém compra nada nesse lugar, tem que ser no Brasil, aqui as pessoas fazem negócio :)

Wow, Mtv was fun back in the day??

No one of theses people didn’t really know Bruce ?

Le meilleur live enregistré de l'histoire du métal à ma connaissance

I met Bruce in Victorville Ca. in the 1980s. He was at Victor Valley High school for a Fencing competition. My friends pointed him out saying "thats Bruce". I would never have believed he would be in a small town in the desert until he took his head protection off. He took the time to walk with myself and a few friends for about 30 minutes. The way he carried himself you would never have thought he was a rock star if you didnt know who he was. Very cool and down to earth. Oh and he was a damn good fencer too!

Wowww 🤣 👀Bruce in the street.... It's Like a dream.....🤘❤🤘🥰🥰🥰🥰🤘

awesome!!! 😆😎

Omg he's so silly and cute😂❤

This really is the land of opportunity

I wish I was there in that moment but there was 17 years to my birth..

$100 was A LOT of money back in 1985!!

*YO WHAT'S UP*

Lol I would have bought it. Seen Maiden at least four times. Met Bruce and Steve. In the late eighties. Still a fun memory and in in my early seventies now

So far. Best live album in the world.

Looks like a fine copy - a bit expensive though' ? Even now 100 usd for an album? :D

Hard to believe this guy is know the professional jet flying, business speakers and all around know it all.

After all those people brushed him off and then seen him get into the limo, they probably said to themselves, "You know that book cover that everyone is always judging?, yea that one."

S'matter? Everyone in NYC don't know Iron Maiden or Bruce?

Hehehehe Bruce is so silly

I was there, but Bruce didn't recognize me!

Haha ‘Bruce’s Price Is Right’ is now real.

He needed more Cow Bell! =-D

When he dropped one of them my heart stopped

Scream for me Long Beach!

This is like a super early version of The Eric Andre Show. "Oh, there goes another one.."
