Loving these tour videos. These techs and engineers are the unsung heroes of the band. And that gear is incredible!

It's SOOO cool to see what goes into making Maiden sound so good live. Pooch definitely takes a scientific mind to the art that happens on stage, and it shows in the final product - it's perfect!

Protect pooch at all costs! Maiden has never sounded better and i didn't need earplugs thanks to this man

Thank you for all your great work Pooch. I was able to catch a show last year in Anaheim California in September. Besides the band's fantastic performance, the show production was perfect in every way.

Before i even watch this, Pooch has done an incredible job giving the band a new live sound. The volume boosts for certain key parts and the clarity of solo's is better than ever since he joined. My favourite part though? when he smashes the volume up for the ending of Doctor Doctor! makes all the difference in excitement. Never got that in tours gone by recently.

This was fascinating! As a IT professional, I was surprised to see how much was in the digital domain but as a sound aficionado, I was not surprised so see some analog gear in the mix. Great insight Pooch!

The live sound between the book of souls tour and the legacy tour improved so much. This guy knows what he's doing

The sound on the last two tours has been nothing short of astonishing. What a legend

I have seen Maiden live more than 15 times, and the band sounds better live now than ever. When Pooch joined I heard the difference right away between Book of Souls and Legacy of the Beast. Make sure you pay him well.

The technical/production side of an Iron Maiden show has never been better, imo. (I’ve seen them live many times, starting with the original SiT tour.) Glad Rod S and the band takes the time and expense to make this tour even better. We notice! 🤘

Saw them live last night. Amazing performance. I can't imagine a life without Iron Maiden.

This man is worth his weight in gold! Big jump in sound quality from 2018.

I saw the Book of Souls tour in 2017 which was my first Maiden concert and was utterly dissapointed by the sound (probably because it was a festival). Fastforward 3 years I saw the Legacy of the Beast show and I was BLOWN AWAY by the sound quality. This guy deserves all the credit in the worls specially because he has worked with so many pop/hiphop bands back in the day but has stuck with Maiden for the past 5 years because he is a fan

The sound was astonishly good at the Glasgow gig. Never heard such clarity in a concert!

The greatest band to ever exist! 🤘

Thank you guys for all the hard work, seen you guys at Nottingham, the sound seriously kicks ass🤘

Loving these videos, a great crew is absolutely vital to any band. Thank you for your hard work and expertise!

Spectacular sound at the Dublin gig back in June. Absolutely amazing technology - Mind blowing!!! Thanks to you and the rest of the Killer Krew for all the hard work behind the scenes. Up the Irons!!!!

I watched them live a couple weeks ago and the sound balance was great. Good stuff!

Great to see Pooch doing sound for Iron Maiden. One of the best sound engineer out there. Also super cool explanation of his Office. Thanks for that 🙏🏻

I've been in some Iron Maiden live shows and the sound is always great. It's beautiful to know what happens offstage to make that possible. You do a really nice work and it's awesome to see how detailed is your attention to make this band sound perfect. Great video, guys!

The day before yesterday in Munich it sounded amazing. One of the best sounding concerts I have visited (probably the best sounding concert in total). Thank you so much Pooch for the hard work and for virtually showing us around on your rig.

Saw the show in Dublin and was blown away by the sound when the Somewhere in Time intro came on. It was loud as fuck but my ears didn't hurt at all. The rest of the show sounded fantastic.

I very much appreciated the great sound at the o2 in London a few weeks back! Great job Pooch!

This was really great and informative. Thanks for putting out all this content!

Amazing video and explanation!! And yes, Maiden is sounding amazing, better then ever! 😊

Saw them in Glasgow recently. At the time, I thought they sounded fantastic. Possibly best I've seen them since the 80's. Watching this video, I'm beginning to understand why. This chap is a highly valuable member of team Maiden.

For me, as a person that studied sound engineering, those blogs are super informative, thank you! :)

I was sat in the gods at the Leeds gig and my expectations for sound quality were not high. I was completely blown away both by the mix and the overall sound. Congratulations on a job very well done.

Great great drum sound on this tour, great mix too

Thank You so much for this kind of videos. It is very interesting to know how Maiden show works. Especially when you are musician and sound guy also.

I've watched and worked Maiden concerts since they started. They always sound great. Great band makes an audio engineer's job easy.

Maiden with Mr. Pooch sounds better than ever. Cheers😊

Very much appreciate seeing this , as I saw the Albuquerque 2019 and London 23.

I have seen IM 3 times in 3 different venues since Pooch took over FOH. In all occations, the live sound of the band (especially on the drums) was incredible, mind blowing!

Nice to see you Pooch! Great job! Tks for the the video.

Great vid! Would love to hear more about the whole process of shaping the sound/creating snapshots - esp on a tour like this featuring songs that haven't be done live in years (or ever). Have to think FOH is a far different beast than the studio!

Really enjoy listening to the behind the scenes stuff. Really hope we get a live film of this tour, and the bands show at waken gets streamed live like it did in 2016 😀😀😀

Fantastic insight! No question that Maiden are sounding as good as ever on this tour. If anything, even better! Greatest band in the world supported by the finest crew!! Oh I do hope that 11:00 was an ITK hint at a live album from this tour coming at some point!! Up The Irons!!

I can understand the people who want to hear their rock heros through a analog signal chain and not through a computer that only simulates what‘s happening on stage.

Pooch, all that knowledge and equipment is mind boggling. Up The Irons 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Wow just got to the SPL part. That's amazing! I had custom ear plugs made to protect my hearing but glad to know Iron Maiden's got my back!

Reaper! Hell yeah. That's cool to hear Reaper being integrated into the rig. Best DAW out there. Wild how we now have full recording studios including time alignment and active room eq on tour! Up the IRONS!

Phenomenal. Nice to see the guy that is responsible for the band sounding so fantastic get the spotlight. What a guy!

Beautiful job! Love your explanation! Very informative and very clearly done to educate the listener . Subscribed to the channel due to this Video.

It's awesome to see how much goes into making a concert happen, thank you for this!!!!! It's very humbling, considering that I have only a small fraction of understanding how my Fractal Audio AX8 works!, compared to a full-on FOH rig.

Pooch is awesome, keeps Maiden sounding great!

Phenomenal stuff, thank you!

Great and humble guy, doing it's best so we can all enjoy a perfect show. The sound on this tour is just absolutely mindblowing great. For me 2016 tbos was the first Maiden gig ever, I was attending a show in Wroclaw and I couldn't hear selective sound. What's more I've lacked earplugs and I got partially deaf for nearly 3 days after the show. After this year's concert in cracow the experience was tremendously better even from 2018 legacy gig which was also a giant leap from 2016 show. Pooch You're a hero making the band sound incredibely awesome!

Thank you very much! It's exciting to peek into the secrets! Maiden forever!

Maiden nunca había sonado tan bien como con Pooch. Ni siquiera cuando estaba el legendario Doug Hall. Enhorabuena por tu trabajo! Up the irons!!

I have been seeing Maiden since the X Factour and I don't think I've ever heard Maiden sound as good on stage 😳

Great crew most hard working bunch of males and females really nice to see that they love what they do. Much respect to them 😊

Thank you, Pooch. Enjoyed your work and expertise in Frankfurt last year. 😂

I saw the show in Dortmund (26th of July) and it was great! Greetings from Germany 😊

Awesome that, very insightful and well presented. Nice one.

That was fascinating. I would very much like to see more behind the scenes technical content

Pooch, I’ve been following you since your days with LP… I don’t know why, for some reason I have always been drawn to the way you talk about how you run your mixes… Thank you for everything you do… Be safe on the road….

Pooch is the best! The band has sounded amazing every show since 2018!

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!

If I remember correctly, it's a recording from Arena Kraków. I was there on June 13, 2023 and I had an amazing feeling of the sound. great job. Thank you.

I found the Creamliner usage fascinating. Loved being able to understand it all because he designed his world so well.

Thanks Pooch for bringing the noise and perfect sound of Maiden

I don't know what he does but Maiden has the best live sound ever.

11:04 does this confirm a upcoming live album? Hopefully as a Blue Ray, too 😁

Waiting for this tour anxiously

Really insightful video!

Great guy! He does a high responsability and hard job, i didn't that know one man had so much tasks!

In a concert in Ecuador. I ran into him after the show. He was so kind and paid attention to me and my friends. He didn't have to but he ended sharing a few words.

amazing insightr being a producer myself was facisnating especially the live visual playback amazing

Fascinating.A really good watch

Great job 👍. Up the Irons!

Wicked. I hope they do a gear rundown of Adrian’s rig.

This man is an absolute legend!

Wow, amazing. A lot goes in to being a soundman, he does it right.

El curro de mi vida 🔥🤘🏻 grande Pooch!!

LOL!! Last few tours I've found myself standing next to the booth on the floor for a rail to lean on and I've Seen You Twice now! Next time I'll say hi!

Good to see you, Pooch!

How the fuck does this guy remember what all those buttons do...

Getting these multiple systems connecting and communicating must be a pain in the ass. Hell of a job 👍👍👍

Seen Maiden in Dublin, was up front right.Sounded great

Hell yeah! Talk about a monster of a rig! Pooch is the man!

Was an excellent sound in Birmingham for both the Legacy of the Beast Tour and Future Past Tour 🤘🤘

Really interesting video, hope you got Nicko’s drum sound sorted after Birmingham because that night I couldn’t here any of his cymbals including the ride and hi hats, could only hear the hi hats on the count ins.

I would have never guessed that a delay on an Adrian solo could be controlled from the console. That’s quite mind blowing. Thank you for this insight!

Maiden have always sounded great live, but this was some of the clearest sounds ive ever heard at a gig, by any band.

At this point Pooch is a member of Iron Maiden. Best ever their sound is unbelievable well done sir im an OG fan. When your done w music NASA has entered the chat.

Thanks for so beautifull melodies, thats how the magic happens❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I could watch stuff like this all day. Even with bands that I'm not fans of, I just find it fascinating....I do love Maiden btw.

Crazy! 👏👏👏 Nice to see room for Reaper in the rig😄

Great video..thx for sharing!!!

What a genius this guy. Iron Maiden sounds better than ever

Very interesting. Being an iconic band, with all the technology, you still want a bit of analog sweetness. Pretty cool.

So your the reason we don't have to yell to the top of our lungs to hear each other after a concert nowadays. God bless the 1970's ! 😂 I hope they and you come to St Louis Missouri and some day in the near future. I love Maiden! I love them live too!

Another Legend on the floor.

The Big Dog Ken Pooch ✌️the man behind ma console layout and drum mix so dynamic

Круто! Я тоже звукорежиссер! И я восхищаюсь такими концертными звукорежиссерами! Вы просто маг!)))

Behind the scenes stuff is mega cool. thank you team Maiden! Do Maiden play to a click track to align with the Snapshots from the soundboard?

Very cool, thanks!

Amazing!
