Fantastic performance! Solid awesome band! Solid vocals Blazed! This was one of my favorite songs off the Virtual XI record!!! This sounded so good, you guys were full of energy! Smoking! In Fact! And as always, some Blaze stage humor in full effect! Excellent!!! I got the first 3 solo CDs, and a live DVD. Apparently it's time to go buy some more! Dennis 63 years Austin, TX
I LOVE THIS , tell me ONE other artist who´s performing this close to his audience......Blaze does, and he does it with all of his animal magnetism, his dark, intense and powerful voice, just look at the guys, there´s joy and pure happiness, if there´s anything I regret in my life, it´s NOT seeing Maiden with the outstanding mr. Bayley.....and THAT´S the truth.....
This one was on the setlist the first time I saw Blaze live (Virtual XI tour in 1998) and I saw Blaze and the guys play it this year in Balingen - it seems people either love Maiden's version or hate it, but Blaze + band absolutely rocked it and it was just FUN for everybody in the house. What's not to like about that?
Blaze piso paraguay... Concepto de indios a su tierra... Nole juzgo es mas comparto su punto de vista... Somos negros y queremos a puntarle con un dedo al mundo.... Juego mis dados... Que saldra?
IMO, the original maiden version is an utter craptastrophe that is far too long for what it contains. FFS, the chorus repeats 22 times in the original! Not even pop music has that many chorus repeats!!! But this version is just leaps and bounds ahead of the original. Sure, the slow section in the middle has always bothered me for the fact that it's the same damn thing over and over again. But with the fluctuations in Bayley's voice and the continuous solos, it's made infinitely better.

best live performance of this song
He's a mint Bass Guitarist. That solo was brilliant.
He sounds great as always

Cool 👍🏼🎶🎶🎶🎶
I love this song. I love Blaze Bayley. If I was there on this night ,it would've been the greatest night of my life.

This is awesome
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love Blaze. His first two solo album after Maiden were amazing, Silicon Messiah and Tenth Dimension. That mark was very good, but this is great too.
The whole Absolva band with Blaze. Including Luke Appleton from Iced Earth...... Great.
Perfect
I love it. "Selfie, Selfie!!!"

The original is one of my favourite Maiden songs! The intro, verses, solos and outro are all awesome. And I'm actually not bothered by the repetition.
@@lukebradford Absolutely!
