...good for you....my mate followed there every gig around Australia..and played soccer with them..84 ?

@@cosmicman621 After 1982 who cares

I saw Paul Dianno yesterday singing these tunes in São Paulo-Brasil.

I worship you man

Clives solo was SICKKKKK AF!!!

Yeah, don't mention punk to Steve Harris. He hates that comparison.

@@mrpositronia yep...i talk to Steve Harris everyday kkkkkkkkk

Paul is unique

No, the best was during the World Slavery Tour. These shows are great and full of power, but are far from their best.

...full stop.BROTHER!!!I grew up as a teenager listening to this stuff...IT WAS..NEVER...CONSIDERED PUNK🤘🤘🤘

Prefer him to Bruuuce. Alll due respect

@@cosmicman621, NWOBHM New wave of British heavy metal

I prefer Paul for the same reason people preferred Greg Rolie in Journey. No-nonsense rock n roll singing, no running and jumping across the stage like they are doing gymnastics routines.

@@cosmicman621No, definitely never considered punk at the time, but undoubtedly punk was an influence. The proof is in the pudding. The rawness, aggression, and energy levels on this era of Maiden betray any anti-punk sentiment Steve may have ever expressed. Paul made it clear several times in interviews that he came from a punk background, and though Clive never really came out and said it, he really had a punk style of drumming to go with his obvious Ian Paice influence. Maybe it was unintentional and indirect, but punk definitely rubbed off on them to a certain extent. At least during the Paul/Clive era it did.

yeah this is way better than alot of Dickinson albums..killers & number of the beast both kick hard

@@GRILLBUOY101 Number of the Beast is a Bruce album

The best.

how fast is he playing on almost all the songs and for such a long setlist :@

me too!!!

x4

...of course..a zillion reasons 🤘🤘🤘

It was the best lineup for *THEM* as well.

me to

Yes he is....I love ..Bruce as a dude..and various things that he has done..top bloke...great voice.But...Maiden’s...first 2 albums are the best..of ..NWOBHM...for me...killers....is my bread and butter has been since I was 15 years...discovering rock for the first time 🤘🤘🤘

Yeah, imagine Number of Beast with Paul....way better IMO🤘🤘

...very true...the magic of heavy metal 🤘🤘🤘

Definitely the best metal band in the world at that time.

Punk Maiden is the bomb!!! The best!!

Nice bait ! Now more along !

I was listening to this with all my metal buddies in the early 80’s...it was..NEVER..(in a million years) considered..PUNK....NWOBHM..all the way 🤘🤘🤘

Even though this predates the whole “crossover” thing by something like 4 or 5 years, I think this is a much better example of how to mix the two genres properly, and with the right factors. I’m coming from the perspective of someone who was born in the 60’s, grew up on a steady diet of hard rock as a kid in the 70’s, and then dove headfirst into punk at the turn of the decade ‘79-‘80. Back then it was dangerous to like both punk and metal at the same time. The two camps hated each other and would regularly fight violently with each other… which was completely stupid and made very little sense, but that’s just how it was. I went full on punk in the summer of 1980. Cut my hair short, hacked up all my shirts, stencil-sprayed slogans all over my clothes etc, and then I went to go see Iron Maiden open for Judas Priest in the summer of ‘81. I thought for sure I would probably get jumped by a pack of heshers but I didn’t care. I just really wanted to see Maiden. Anyway, no one jumped me. Got a few heckles, but nothing to sweat over. Maiden were even better than I expected, and I also happened to see a few other punks at that show, which was an odd thing to see in 1981 at a big metal concert. Whether it was their intention or not (my money’s on ‘not’), Maiden were one of the first metal bands to tear down those barriers and unite punks and metalheads. Motörhead was another. Still, we had a long way to go before the truce was called… but Maiden was way ahead of the curve.

Sounds like Lemmy on that song for sure

RIP Clive, he was better than Nicko, Steve is a a$$hole asking Clive to step away

Still have the Tape cassette , it is yellow color now

@@m42037What Steve did to Clive was inexcusable. He still has never come clean about that. He added insult to injury by smearing Clive’s name in the press, saying that he was fired for “partying too much”, when really it was because Clive chose to attend his own father’s funeral and cancel one or two dates on their tour. Then Maiden gets huge, and Clive is tossed out like yesterday’s garbage. Unforgivable.

@@Shikta-poobah67 And being the humble person Clive was said he didn't argue and said ok and walked away, Clive in a interview said the talks of his "indulgence's" was completely false. I'm a drummer and every live performance I've heard from 80-82 Clive played great not too slow or timing issues. Later Steve did benefits for Clive's MS medical bills, that's the least he could do!

Totally agree. This version of Killers is a killer.

I was there, Orpheum theatre

...sure...why not

This isn't the same gig on the record

This isn’t that one, but yes.

Yep. Maiden… and I mean primarily this era of Maiden… was a game changer. I bought Killers right when it came out, and I vividly remember putting it on my turntable (yes I’m a relic) and thinking to myself “this is a whole new kind of metal”. Not only did it sound light years newer than the old guard (Sabbath, Purple, Uriah Heep, UFO, etc), but it sounded even like a departure from most of it’s NWOBHM peers. It set the standard for all 80’s metal to come, though no one ever improved upon it. Not even Iron Maiden themselves.

Clive.

He wasn’t taken by excesses. He was taken by a super-aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis.

He was better than the other guy

Yeah I saw them on this tour, maybe a month after this Japanese tour, in Houston TX opening for Judas Priest, and though that was a lifetime ago, I can clearly remember that Paul was in top shape. Whatever was going on after the gig didn’t seem to be affecting their performance, but I only saw the one gig, so who knows. Even Paul himself has admitted he had a bit of a problem at the time. It was really too bad. I would have loved to have heard what Number would have sounded like with Paul singing. Now Clive… that was a whole different story. What Steve pulled on him was simply unforgivable. Clive got severely f’d over.

This isn’t the “Maiden Japan” album. It’s from the same tour, probably just one or two nights apart from that one, but different date/gig. This is even better than Maiden Japan, and I absolutely love that album.

was a small little 12 old an saw van Halen in 81, KISS was one of my first shows in 79 , also saw ABBA round then ... lolmagic times got number of The beast album signed by IM whole band 82at a WHEREHOUSE record store Metal forevvvvvver 🤘🤘

I saw them on that same tour. June ‘81 in Houston. Humble Pie was also on the bill, but I missed their set. No offense to Halford and co., but Maiden pretty well blew Priest off the stage that night. Don’t get me wrong, Priest were great as always, but Maiden were younger, hungrier, more high-energy, and raw. There was an obvious “old guard/new guard” difference between the two. Then Paul was fired, and shortly afterwards Clive was fired, and they kind of became a different thing. However that night in summer ‘81 they were a real force to be reckoned with.

FOR SURE! BEST IRON MAIDEN LINE-UP!

Faster than studio version. Unbelievable!!

THATTTT PACE IS FIRE 🔥

He also had the coolest hair.

great another life was always 1 of my top 3 off killers. another life, drifter, murders in the rue morgue.subject to change of course.

imagine seeing this for just 10 bucks?

This is a different concert it's not the concert pressed on the "Maiden Japan" I had it Paul sounded terrible, this gig he sounds great

​@@GRILLBUOY101back in the UK in 1981, you could see them for £5. I don't know what that is in dollars, but live gigs were cheap then 👍😊☮️

@@leethomas255 guess thats cheaper.bout $ 7.50

He blows Nicko away the guy was bionic fast! Sad he died so young from MS

@@m42037 yes i plsy lillers way more my 2nd would be piece or the beadt the bew stuff im not into.great concert but ss far ss buying anything new no wsy .Saxon hell yes my fav.priest trest on cd bug mo glenn of kk so.fug dat

Bruce is both. A Pilot too and a lot of other things. It's ironic that your name is a song with Bruce and not with Paul and you're saying that. Paul and Bruce are both excellent and deserve to be respected. Stop fighting this kind of fandom is toxic. Steve Harris has said in several ocassions that everything is good with Paul and the band, so stop comparing them.

@@NoNameUwUxX If Steve said all is good with Paul why did he fire him and not give him a second chance? And EXPECIALLY Clive!! His father died and Clive wanted time away to be with family and Steve asked him to step away, we got Nicko to take over! I think he was a complete a$$hole back then, today he's different as you know paying for Paul's medical bills, and yes he did benefits for Clive when his MS bills got way more than him and his mum (or sister idr) could afford, hell that's the least he could do after stabbing Clive in the back. Edit: Oh and I don't want to hear the bs rumors about Clive's "indulgence's" , puke bucket nonsense, etc. Clive said it's not true at all. Bruce even said he didn't like the way the Clive thing went down, and that he was the best drummer Maiden ever had. Adrian to this day still lucks Steve's ass and says about Clive that "some guy's can't keep up with the rock n roll lifestyle" sad he was a roommate of his early in the day. Either he's got a bad memory or he doesn't want any bad words about Steve from 30 year's ago

It deppens on the song. But right now idk if Paul is able to sing. (It's not hate, I say this because is in a post operation and Idk if he is ok to sing).

Paul messed up drinking too much later in this year and was replaced, Clive was "asked to step down" by Steve because Clive's dad died and wanted some time off, Steve said no 👺

@@NoNameUwUxX yah, now he sits on stage with his band; and cranks out old maiden songs knowing he can't sing good; but everyone has a good time !

Paul Di Anno had range. Just sounded way better.
