I was at this gig - first time I saw Maiden live. I went to see them at Hammersmith three times that week!

Maiden are class really nice of them to present a gold disc to him so lucky saw maiden at the Birmingham Odeon on that tour brilliant memories up the IRONS

This vid is one of the few and rare visual records from that tour. You were a real lucky guy!

Lucky guy...🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

What a nice gesture of the band! That's why I love 'em! Oh, and lucky you!

Somewhere on tour was my 1st ever Maiden gig......it was an awesome show!!!!

Holy shit! That was amazing! I couldn't stop smiling when he was getting presented with the record, I would happily have lifted all the equipment all the way through the tour just to meet the guys back then, that was something special

That boy was surely blessed by GODS!!! UP THE IRONS!!! 🤘🤘🤘

Amazing. God loves us all. Jesus is my only idle. Iron Maiden are my brothers. I was always right, since 1981. The are the greatest band to ever form. Bless you brothers.

I can remember watching this and being so jealous. 58 now and still a Maiden fanatic. Sadly when I wrote to Jimmy all he offered was to fix it for me to milk a cow blindfolded! 😮

The early years. Nice kid.

We need a "where are they now" about this kid! How awesome was that for him!?

Nice memory, I remember it well, was there also with my long hair, it was the Charity Night, featured Brian May/Jimmy Page /Bad News, also popped in for that one, a sunday night and my second show that week for Maiden's 'Somewhere in time' Tour, yes, we gave you a cheer also, best of luck.....................

such a shame maiden have no live album from SIT tour :(

I met someone when they toured here in N.Z. whom had attended. His daughter had become a fan as well. I hope you got to live your dream and life hasn't been too heavy. Lol's

I was also 13 when I saw them for the first time. That was actually my first concert.

Holly shit, I am jealous!

Golden boy ! Fantastic ))))IRON MAIDEN in the hill )

I remember watching this in Ireland aged 11 and being very jealous as i was and still am a Maiden freak at 38.....though it did inspire me to believe that anything was possible if you believe: i ended up becoming a sound engineer for many of my favourite Metal bands for 14 years.....just believe. Cheers Dom:o)

Great story Dominic! Hope Maiden are still one of your faves. Stay 'eavy, hello from Texas!

Huh what about that. I was at that one, my first Maiden gig. I remember that boy coming out on stage.

I wish I was there like you. Great memories to treasure forever.

Damn... The cool thing is that your experience got documented.

this aged well... well well well...

Great history! Very nice and a lucky guy! Up the Irons!!!

This is awesome! What an experience this must have been.

This is awesome, such a treasure for life!

wooahh...you must have been really happy man! and it's a nice souvenir !

Nice to see Jimmy in happier times

Dominic, your are 200 percent correct, to start.iron maiden are the greatest band, but they are also the greatest peope, as well. i am vicariously thrilled that you got to experience it first hand. I hope you became the drummer you wanted to be all those years ago.

Congrats, Man

Magnífico 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Why, om my God why don´t they have the entire show or at least the fantastic songs in their " official " videos ? I really do love that album, so many sensational songs with their " new " sound !! Theese guys created magic in the studio the day it was recorded....

Fantastic!

Very cool

Nicko! 😂 What a band ❤

Epic.

I was at that gig!

He got to tune Davey's strat!!! Lucky little git!

holy shit, I remember watching this!

The kids taller than the whole band

If this was the NSPCC charity gig with Bad News supporting then I was there. It was my second Maiden gig. I saw them previously at Wembley Arena with Anthrax supporting doing their Persistence Of Time album.

Yo me hubiera vomitado de la emoción al haber estado tan cerca de ellos, que jodida envidia... :')

LUCKY KID

That guitar tuner is dinosaur!

I wish i was Dominic!!!!!!!!!!

muito bom! será que esse menino ainda tem essa medalha ??? deve valer uma grana para os colecionadores !!!!! up the irons!!

envidia envidia everywhere!

Ooooooooooooooo tremendo filete, se agradece la rareza estimado!!!

Un sueño echo realidad , Gracias Iron Maiden, la mejor banda del mundo. Mas que Led Zeppelin.. Chileno.

The most dangerous thing I did as a kid was writing in to Jimmy Saville..

Uncle Jimmy says Bruce. It was all fun and innocence then.

hope the guy still has the somewhere in time record.

Crazyyy!!! hhahahahah

@iron22071976 Es una rareza q encontre en la net, el pibe mando una carta a un programa donde te cumplian un sueño y el de El era ser asistente de Maiden x un dia o algo asi

That was great! I wonder what are you doing now in your life;

They are far from splitting up.. They will even release a new album next year, and continue touring for many years to come.

Im being so fucking jelous 😭

DOOOOOOOM Lawson! is god!!

You still have that gold disk?

I'm guessing you know you uploaded this 1 day before the 25th year anniversery of your amazing day with Maiden...could it be just a coincidence?? or would you have waited an extra day?? :)

Brilliant...Good old Jimmy Saville....now then now then

I got the shirt Adrian is wearing

beaucoup de chance le gamin

Is there anyway i can get the original file from you mate?

epic fucking shit god damn!! why couldnt that be me? i wouldve pounded the shit out of those drums with nicko there

NO MAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! YO MATARIA POR SER EL

does anybody know where is that kid now? :D

wonder what happen to mr lawson 30 years later?

Wonder if he ever returned to maiden to be part of the killer crew

You still got the Gold Disc one assumes and didnt trade it for pot when you were skint at 18?

- jaja yo tengo toda la coleccion de iron maiden en lp y solo primeras ediciones. - me importa una mierda. yo tengo el lp en oro del somewhere in time, especialmente dedicado a mi en una placa con mi nombre, y fui roadie una noche y estuve con ellos en el backstage. - fuck

Bruce in questo tour ha avuto molti problemi legati alla voce per questo non esiste un live ufficiale di questo periodo .

Lucky.. But tje only song i like from SWIT is wasted years.. amd Alexander the great

Honestly... I would have let Saville do things to me, to have experienced this incredible Maiden wet dream. Incredible.

wtf?????

Cut out Pedo Saville 😂 and then its all good 👍

Jim are you still fixing it?

Where did that bastard Saville put it for you?

so iron maiden where affiliated with jimmy, that's not good :(
