Clive Burr RIP Brother We miss you
Clive one of best R.I.P. along with Paul R.I.P. Brothers
Paul Di'anno and Clive Burr rules
Clives solo was SICKKKKK AF!!!
I always lived them
Both are dead😢
The REAL Iron Maiden, not the "money-making machine" they later became!
@@progrunner3094 they never really sold out though, other than Wasting Love, which is a bit rubbish. They just matured, like most bands do.
REST IN PEACE PAUL DI ANNO RUNNIG FREE FOREVER 😞
one of my best part died today !!!!!!!
That day, I was at the Yamaha Building in Ikebukuro, Japan. Suddenly Maiden came to the store and I was surprised. Steve and Paul started a rifle shooting arcade game. Paul abandoned the game and went to the studio. Steve nominated me as his successor. I was nervous and couldn't hit even one shot. The band then wrote an autograph on my denim jacket. They were very cool and nice guys. That is a good memory of 1981.
...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
Wow that's too cool.i wish I met them and Dio.
Paul Di'Anno !!! Incredable.... Sings like a LION!!! Di`Anno is a KING !!!
...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.
Clive Burr destroying everything on the drums!!!!!
The best.
how fast is he playing on almost all the songs and for such a long setlist :@
No shite, the tempo is cooking the whole set.
Yes Steve too
R.I.P Paul Di'Anno (1958-2024) 🥀🖤
Brutal, fast, punk, awesome Maiden. This is THE BEST! These live shows with Paul Di'anno are the best Maiden ever did.
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.
PUNK? 🤣😆
Iron Maiden is MELODIC HEAVEY METAL!
Motorhead might be considered punk.
Paul DiAnno died today 10/21/2024. Rest in Peace mate.
Clive's drumming on this is 👌
The tempo is cooking, freaking Clivevis on fire 🔥
RIP PAUL!!! THE REAL SINGER OF IRON MAIDEN!!! 😭😭😭
Their best songs from that era(80-81).
Pure energy and pure emotion, no pretending at all.
I firmly believe that Maiden of 1980-83 were the best of their whole career
For me Iron Maiden was : iron maiden , killers , maiden japan , After this i never liked them
Paul Di'Anno ... I raise my glass of whiskey to your memory ... one day we will meet in strange worlds ...
SKOLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they kicked ass with paul dianno !
Nobody ever sang any of Paul's songs better than he did. Bruce tried, but he just never sounded right.
Rock in Power to the legend that is Paul!! 🎸
PAUL DI ANNO=LEGEND OF LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
There is one of Bruce's songs that I think Paul would've been better suited for and that is 'Gangland'.
Imagine if Paul got to sing on number of the beast. I may actually buy it then. I always hated Maiden until I heard the first two albums. Its like having Bon Scott sing on Back in Black.
Maiden's best line up.
Iron maiden with Paul were the greatest. They’re why we love them still today .
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
All people of the metal must REMEMBER TOMORROW Paul Di'Anno!
This is Iron Maiden. 👍🏼
This is the best lineup for me.
me too!!!
x4
...of course..a zillion reasons 🤘🤘🤘
It was the best lineup for *THEM* as well.

The transition from Strange world to Murders is pure magic. Great how both song merge.
Old Maiden steeped in punk rawness. PAUL was fabulous! Have had the Maiden Japan ep import since 1981. It was the 1st vinyl I bought of Maiden, so have always been a fan of Clive Burr and Paul era Maiden. Wherever you are Paul, cheers to you!
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!
Thank you and RIP Mr Paul Di’Anno, you’ll be remembered eternally.
The real Iron Maiden..
FOR SURE! BEST IRON MAIDEN LINE-UP!
Mix with heavy metal and punk,sounds really awesome.
Paul was the voice and no one could do it better.
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.
Heavy/Power Metal with a grain of Punk.
Classic lineup was incredible. When they first came on the scene...jaw dropping 💯🔥 Nothing like them!
wish we had more Paul Di'anno albums with maiden!!!!!!!!! :-( he's way better than BD
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🤘🤘
saw them open for saxon & ufo that year !
RIP Paul😭
この音源、自分の記憶に間違いなければ中学生の頃NHK FMでこのまま放送されたやつじゃないかな。確かFMライヴスペシャルとかいう番組だったかな。
当時エアチェックしたカセットテープが伸びちゃうまで繰り返し聴き込んだな。
情報が全然なかった当時、貴重な音源だったよ。
Rest well Paul. RIP Clive.
25:14 The Best of Maiden's history
Totally agree. This version of Killers is a killer.
Holy shit this is great! Maiden at their absolute pinnacle, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t hate what they did later on, but nothing could touch this lineup at this particular moment in time. I saw them right around this time, about a month later. More on that later. They were young, hungry, focused, and ferocious. Tight as hell, and the energy levels are just through the roof. Perfect marriage of punk rawness and metal chops. This was the new metal sound in the very early 80’s. Just amazing stuff. And Clive…. WOW. Simply the best. RIP.
As an American, I know just exactly how lucky I am that I got to see this lineup at this time, opening for Judas Priest, at the Sam Houston Coliseum - Houston - June ‘81. Humble Pie was the first band to go on, but I missed their set (according to what I heard, I didn’t really miss anything). Maiden blew me the f*** away. Really scorched my face off. At that time I was getting heavily into punk, and in those days being a punk at a metal gig could get you hospitalized. I’m not even kidding. The lines of division were drawn deep before ‘crossover’ became a thing a few years later. However Maiden smashed that barrier down. I wasn’t the only punk at that gig. In fact, this era of Iron Maiden was somewhat of an influence on the more hardcore punk bands… even if Steve Harris claims that he always hated punk and wanted nothing to do with it.
Iron Maiden has and always be a melodic heavy metal band.
@@MrJohnnyDistortion ok?
Rest in power, Paul. 🖤
Have always loved every stage of Maiden, these early days with Paul and Clive are pure Gold! The pure raw power of these songs, Strange world will always be my favorite… UP THE IRONS 🤘
疾走感はこの頃ってかポール・ディアノ時代にしか出せない素晴らしい要素だったよね
"..please take me away so far away..." Paul's voice is and Will be unforgotable
They sound perfect here… I think the best Maiden ever… I can’t believe they were so colse to the end of the Paul’s eve…
The real Maiden!!!!
IronPaul . Insuperable !!!!
“Punk Maiden” rules!
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 🤘🤘🤘
JAZZ SABBATH! 🤘🏽FOOL
I love Paul’s vocals on “Ive got the fire”
Sounds like Lemmy on that song for sure
The Best Heavy Metal Live album ever
...sure...why not
This isn't the same gig on the record
This isn’t that one, but yes.
The best live Maiden
Masterpiece!!! Best Maiden album. Brutal and raw! A locomotive of sound!
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.
I love most Maiden, but most stuff I play is this line up. Burr is an absolute beast and Di Anno just suits this material so well.
And this recording is gold.
Thank you for posting
I wish this had a video recording.
Bremen Beat Club would be the best from this era
Caro Paul,sono passati più di quaranta anni dal tuo primo disco con gli iron Maiden. Rimane per noi metallari una favola senza tempo. Da lassù guardaci con un sorriso e rimarrai nei nostri cuori.❤❤❤❤❤
TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP PAULO !!! FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.
Phantom is at such a blistering pace!!!!!!! Never heard it this fast!!!!!!
Faster than studio version. Unbelievable!!
THATTTT PACE IS FIRE 🔥
Adrenaline was flowing 💯🔥
Long live Paul Di'Anno
R.I.P Paul Di'anno The Original Voice Of Iron Maiden the first 2 Albums are Classics!!
The line-up that I preferred / and still prefer by far! They were so wild live, so rough. Up the irons forever 🤘 !
Fantastic Live record. RIP Paul.
Maiden should have put this live album onto a DVD. This is a great live album.
Iron maiden from the 80s 🤘 I was 22 when this was recorded and now I'm 65 years of age, it still sounds as good now as it did then, paul diano was a forced to be reckoned with in those days, 🤘 Clive burr on drums wow , what a shame he had to pass to heavy metal heaven in 2013 who says you're too old to listen to metal I'll be listening to metal until I die, join Clive burr in heavy metal heaven an Jimi Hendrix hopefully, the list is endless can you imagine if there is life after death meeting all your heavy metal heroes 🤘 🎸🎸🎸 I think that would be worth dying for ,🤘🤘🎸🤘🎸
Paul Di ' Anno is legend ! R.I.P ! 😢😢🎤🎤🙏🙏
I saw Paul Dianno singing these tunes last night in São Paulo-Brazil.
This version of Phantom is blistering.
Saw them open for judas in Boston stoned out of my gord mind blown
I was there, Orpheum theatre
Que tienpos maravilosos .que temones y que grande Paul .te despedistes de chile y alcanze a tomarme una foto con el gran Paul R.I.P.Q.E.P.D.
Lo dire en espanhol....estuve a punto de mandar a la mierda todo....pero...Di anno... con harrys,murray,smith,clive burr.....anda caga..... era la mejor banda del mundo!!! y Martin Birch q en paz descanze !!!! jamas escuche tanta energia!!!!
I like how you can hear the bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Purgatory must be Maiden´s fastest track. Love it!
Even after 39 years sounding fresh and vivid. A Blue Print what Heavy Metal is all about for future bands.
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.
Were all here for paul and maiden😢.Rock in piece Paul.alhe always will be remembered as a metal pioneer for the old heads!
YEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Paul 🤘🤘🤘. 100% Iconic 100% legit 😊
J'adore l'énergie des concerts de cette période de Maiden. Ils sont tous jeunes et déjà d'excellents musiciens aux prestations scéniques bien huilées. Phantom of the Opera est vraiment l'une des meilleures compo du groupe
That was simply awesome, to have been there.... nothing wrong with the newer Maiden but for me, that was it, man!
Bass playing is insane.
Another life... What a track!!!!
Rock
In
Peace
Paul
You were an important part of Iron Maiden, and you will never be forgotten. 🙏🏼
What an absolute treat. This sounds great. A lot of deep cuts. Forgot how good those old songs were and are.
This performance is excellent !
Wonder why it wasn't released as a worldwide vinyl in those days.
Saw them open for Judas Priest on the Killers tour.. July 1981, Myrtle Beach, SC. What a show! Small venue.. was maybe 40 ft. from them.. I must say that the first 2 LP's, plus this Live record, was possibly the best debut triple play in Rock history.. right there with Van Halen's first records..
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.
Paul fantástico
Too bad DiAnno left approximately at this point. In this live he was in a perfect shape, his performance is killer !
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.
Great upload, superb sound quality. Thanks for uploading for us. Over 43 years old now and still sounds great! Another life, Innocent Excile & Strange World. Omg. Ive loved them since 1982. Up the Ironsi
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
Paul Di'anno powerful Voice Clive Burr
Great ever Maiden Japan
If also Prowler was in the tracklist it would have been pure perfection..
steves Bass and clives drums and all e
instruments sound perfect on this ,&paul is a 11 on a 10 scale!!!!rip Mr .paul
I miss Paul Di’anno and I miss old Iron Maiden.I know they have gone but I miss.
Absolutely amazing!!
Paul e piu grande
Una Leggenda del musica 🎶😊
Di'Anno Maiden, the best Maiden.
RIP Paul… 😢
Paul Di'Anno's Iron Maiden, the ultimate in Punk Metal mayhem. When you have members of parliament complaining about your band in the House of Commons you know you've done something right :) . We'll never see their likes again, far better than the Sex Pistols and I love the Sex Pistols.
maiden japan was released 3 days before i was born :)
running free. first single !
April 26, 1983 , Leiden/Netherlands....same setlist ... with Def Leppard as supportact .... memories of one of the best concerts visited
Thanks Boss. For doing what you did
Muy gratificante fue verlo en la Patagonia Ar. Cdr Rvda, desde Caleta RIP estimado Paul.
RIP Paul Di'Anno and Clive Burr!
Great sound.
Thanks for sharing.
RIP Paul!
Cheers Mate!
🍻🤘🤜🤛❤️🤟
Excellent recording.
Im not gay but he was a real good looking guy back in the day. Kinda looks like a young Brando!...What a voice!..... Sadly missed😢
You’ve got to love strange world live fantastic version, Paul was nearly out of the band and yet we hear just how good he was, in my opinion if there was no Paul, there wouldn’t be iron maiden now, he helped them break into scene, raw, energetic, and attitude, I would like to have heard Paul make a third album with them, they were on the cusp of greatness, sadly it never came to be, superb upload, a great recording, short lived line up but I think it was the best, I’ve heard how strange world progressed on different recordings, and how it became the great song it became
OMG how fast they do Phantom is crazy bad ass!!!! 🤘🏻
Paul diano que tremenda vos tenia y la banda en vivo era brutal
