I saw the show at the O2 in London that year. Because of his cancer I wasn't expecting much from him. He proceeded to belt out one of the best performances I've ever heard in nearly 40 years of following this band.
Yeah the band do not change and play in a different key and Bruce has not dropped down in tuning.. Testament to how talented and good they are even at their age.
Rohan 666 Honestly i don’t see why people keep saying clive was better than nicko, yes he was a good drummer and he’s give. credit for the first albums but nicko is an outstanding drummer and i would say he’s just as good as clive or even better.
He's my hero. I had the same cancer, his music and his strong voice gave me strength to never give up. I am now clean from cancer! Best metal band ever!
@@cris1977 Yes! I think it was in Donington 1992, before Wasting love he says a few words in french. And during Legacy of the beast he spoke the hole show in french.
Many bands have tried, but NO ONE will EVER come close to the metal ICONS.....Iron Maiden has always been the best, and they will be to eternity...........
Well that's your opinion. Personally I'll take Priest over Maiden any day. British Steel, Defenders of the Faith, Stained Class, Sin After Sin and Sad Wings of Destiny are totally unrivaled metal classics. Maiden took a lot from Priest like the galloping riffs. They even lifted the Running Wild riff for Wicker Man! I like Maiden up to Brave New World. After that they got repetitive and boring. Same with Priest. The come back albums they made with Halford are rubbish. They were on the money up until Painkiller. Now they're just a cabaret act well passed their prime!
@@rushshukla4636 that is the wonderful thing about music, we love different bands, songs, albums and so on, but one thing we can agree on is that we love music!
After all this years, they still have the same flame, desire, passion, such a great passion... That's remarkable and admirable, a motivating factor. My love for Iron Maiden is enormous, like their legacy. True legends!
Watching this compared to beast over hammersmith version, with at the time of this recording, being 35+ years later, it’s insane how strong it compares. Bruce was at his peak and still does absolute justice to his old screaming self
Theese guys have raised the bar, going from classics to immortals, they are supreme in their progressive music and its clearly shown in every note, every move....living legends and they deserves to be, BIG TIME !!!
I’m so happy they decided to keep Janick all these years, this version of the song is the best ever. the sound of all 3 guitars gives this song so much soul, it’s ecstatic this beats hammersmith by miles.
My favourite version of this song is one from 2007 at download festival. Bruce has such epic power in his voice in that version. The scream he does at the is incredible. I'm not saying he doesn't still have incredible power behind him, but you can hear age starting to play a factor with him. You can hear the high notes taking more effort from him. It's not surprising, the bloke is in his 60s and has had throat cancer. Non the less, he still sounds better than most singers half his age. He is a miracle of a man
He's walking like a small child But watch his eyes burn you away Black holes in his golden stare God knows he wants to go home Children of the Damned Children of the Damned Children of the Damned Children of the Damned He's walking like a dead man If he had lived he would crucified us all Now he's standing on his last step He thought "Oblivion? Well, it beckons us all" Children of the Damned Children of the Damned Children of the Damned Children of the Damned Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh Smiles as the flame sears his flesh Melting his face, screaming in pain Peeling the skin from his eyes Watch him die according to plan He's dust on ground, what did we learn? Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh You're children of the Damned Your back's against the wall You turn into the light You're burning in the night You're children of the Damned Like candles watch them burn Burning in the light You'll burn again tonight Children of the Damned
WOW you hear their power, talent and sheer definition of metal, don´t you ?? NOBODY brings the HEAT like theese guys, NOBODY.. They are supreme in their progressive music, and will hold the throne forever !!
Theese guys defines metal music and its power to reign...Nobody can ever dispute the immense talent or technique of this group of musicians.....Iron Maiden are a one off !!!
Really? Montreal? I noticed the aztec sun and pyramid stuff, I though it was some concert in Mexico. The design is even particular to the capital, i.e., I know its not the Uxmal or Chichenitza style.
This is , undeniably, the very BEST audio quality of a live Iron Maiden concert... I have been a true fan for 32 years and I am completely melted at the brilliance and quality of this BAND... One of the greatest of ALL TIME!!
You Realize these guys are in their 60’s. And these venues are absolutely standing room only of thousands no more needs to be said. Long live the Irons
Theese raw, wild and punchy guys performs this magical song with charisma and stage presence unmatched....They are untouched and second to none, absolutely none !!!
I'm quite an avid fan when it comes to Maiden and I have to say, in my opinion this is the best rendition of this song they've played to date, mostly because of how much effort Bruce is putting into the song.
Up the mighty irons children of the damned I'm a Biggest iron maiden fan myself.all the way from milikapiti community Melville island northern territory on top of Australia 🤘🎸🤟
Seen Maiden many times, Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo and Vegas always a great show. This sounds as good live as it did 30 years ago, it's like these guys don't age at all. Up the Irons forever!
Essa música é em um tom alto bicho não é fácil de cantar ela principalmente depois de uma certa idade onde a voz tende a ficar mais envelhecida e naturalmente mais grave, ela principalmente no refrão e na segunda estrofe eleva, alteia muito a voz tem que subir msm, Bruce é o cara principalmente comparado a outros vocalistas como Labrie, Coverdale,
Probably my favorite song, and I was there, live, in the front, in the pit. Too bad they barely show the crowd in this one. We were having fun, I can vouch for that! The acoustic 12 string guitar adds so much at the beginning.
One of my favorites to, from them, and it was great to see them playing this in this last tour. Now, from my favorites, I just miss Infinite Dreams and Stranger In A Strange Land, with that amazing solo, live. But this last two I don't believe they will be played live again, by Maiden...
NOBODY brings the HEAT like theese guys, NOBODY.....Look at them, they are GLOWING, performing with all their charisma and stage presence like always.......
Tenho 37 anos ! Ouço o iron maiden desde os meus 12 anos de idade por 15 anos de idade quase que todos os dias!!!! E toda vez que vejo uma apresentação dessa eu me emociono sempre! É claro que é o amor pela banda também, mas fico intrigado e feliz como com o passar dos anos eles parecem que não deixam o nível cair, pelo contrário parece que melhoram! Não me refiro a velocidade técnica das execuções, solos de guitarra ou viradas na bateria etc... refiro -me a qualidade técnica em si, à perceptiva perfeição sensorial das obras ao ouvi-las! Talvez esse o motivo pelo qual os olhos de milhões marejam quando vêem esses SENHORES no palco!
Man Nicko was on fire on this one, like in the old times, 65 years old (at that time) banging the shit out of the drums putting to and in shame countless drummers in their 30's 40's and 50's, thats dedication and love for what you do .
His voice has matured with age like I reckon his voice was at its best on the flight 666 tour back in 2008 but old age is starting to show in his singing style now... however still an incredible singer and especially for a man of 59 years old. He is absolutely amazing vocalist/frontman/entertainer. UP THE IRONS!!!
viking raven no not all... he's less consistent with his today and probably requires more pre show warming up do be at his best for a live performance. That being said I'd love to see you sing the "boring slow crap" at the standard he'd be at on his worst day
Mark Parkin why would I when I don’t like it..I’m sorry I don’t like maiden anymore..ever since seventh son I have found the band boring and just not into these boring 80 minute albums where each song sounds the same...but yea I still listen to old classic stuff
God bless Steve Harris for this amazing song and the creation of one of the greatest bands ever. Up the Irons! Superb performance. I feel so emotional with this track. Iron Maiden for life.
Was für eine musikalische Leistung von jedem einzelnen der Band🤘👌🫶 Ich hoffe ganz fest Maiden nochmals live zu hören und zu erleben.
That solo...THAT MOTHERFUCKING SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Adrian GOD Smith.
tarcísio chagas best guitarist in maiden.
Yes sir!
tarcísio chagas you´r forgetting something, theese incredible band has three masters on guitar !!!!
No, my dear.
Janick Gers will never be a master.
Sorry...
tarcísio chagas agree
Adrian is god, dave comes second... But janick... Nah...
This is a year after beating cancer and Bruce is belting like this - what a legend.
I saw the show at the O2 in London that year. Because of his cancer I wasn't expecting much from him. He proceeded to belt out one of the best performances I've ever heard in nearly 40 years of following this band.
Amazing performance
One of the best Songs ever written in music History!!!
BRUCE IS FROM ANOTHER GALAXY.
This was my first Maiden favorite song.
No droping tunings after all those years. Respect, mr. Bruce!
João Carlos Plus throat cancer beater, I mean it's truly incredible that he haven't dropped tunings at all.
I bet Harris wouldn't do it....he would probably prefer to kick Bruce out of the game...
Yeah the band do not change and play in a different key and Bruce has not dropped down in tuning.. Testament to how talented and good they are even at their age.
ACKCHYUALLY, If Eternity Should Fail is in drop D tuning.
@@maxfrancois89 I tend to disagree as it sounds in the same key and tuning as on the studio version.
Nicko Mcbrain's drumming is so incredibly skillful
And he always looks like he's having the time of his life
But Clive will always be the best.
Knowing that Clive burr wrote the drums to this, nicko does play it sooo well
Makes it look easy, arguably the best in metal
Rohan 666 Honestly i don’t see why people keep saying clive was better than nicko, yes he was a good drummer and he’s give. credit for the first albums but nicko is an outstanding drummer and i would say he’s just as good as clive or even better.
Молодцы.
Музыканты, с большой буквы!
Is this a man who once had throat cancer? I can’t tell. What a man and what a band they are. The best metal band ever
He's my hero. I had the same cancer, his music and his strong voice gave me strength to never give up. I am now clean from cancer! Best metal band ever!
Long live to Bruce dickinson
One of my favourites since 1982. Up the Irons! 🤟
Bruce sounds great! He is ageless.Hes not only a legend for his music.Hes a legend for beating his cancer too - thank God.
Bruce singing with voice amazing... The Best Frontman of Metal
Nothing short of legendary. Honestly has there ever been a better live band?
I was there !!!! And Bruce talk to us almost all the show in french, such a great band with class !
Sylbain Fluet, when & which spot? You seem to be lucky . Did you touch flight 666 of pilot Bruce Dickinson? If not, why? If yes, how was it?
Sylvain Fluet j'y était aussi c'est pour l'instant le meilleur concert que j'ai vu
Sylvain Fluet I didn’t know he spoke French ! What an accomplishment man!
esq ta etais pour legacy le 5 aout ?
@@cris1977 Yes! I think it was in Donington 1992, before Wasting love he says a few words in french. And during Legacy of the beast he spoke the hole show in french.
Greetings from the UK-England.....An excellent version of a classic.
Wow that voice. Even after having throat cancer. The greatest vocalist in heavy metal.
In Montreal hi was there … Amazin Bruce ❤
The best band in the world.

He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought "Oblivion? Well, it beckons us all"
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on ground, what did we learn?
Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh
Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh
You're children of the Damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're children of the Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
Children of the Damned
Thanks
I'm lucky enough to say I've listened to this masterpiece 2 times live. 2009 and 2016, both times with 60.000 maiden fans going nuts.
one of the best drum performances of Nicko McBrain
I love, IRON MAIDEN!
Bruce, Steve, Janick, Adrian, Nicko, Dave ♡
Best band :)
Maaf.habib klauane pnya salah...
this music is like wine. As it gets old The better it becomes
Bruce Dickinson is simply amazing.

Iron Maiden foreveeeeeeeeer 💪🏻🔥🤘🏻

That was an incredible night in Montreal. Merci Iron Maiden!!
Really? Montreal? I noticed the aztec sun and pyramid stuff, I though it was some concert in Mexico. The design is even particular to the capital, i.e., I know its not the Uxmal or Chichenitza style.
omgtkseth its Montreal (says on the album). Thats also why he adressed the audience in french at the beginning
It was indeed ..made the drive up from New Brunswick just for this -awesome show!
IRON MAIDEN MY FAVORITE BAND...
THE BEST OF HEAVY METAL IN THE WORLD
🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
Been a fan since '85,,,,, This is the BEST version since then!!! See you in Tacoma in 2019!
The best Band in Universe!
Sem dúvida a melhor banda do mundo adoro .
Sem maiden a vida não faz sentido.adoro
My Inner Soul Extremely Enjoying This Masterpiece... Amazing... Splendid... Magnificent... Marvelous...Superb Metal...🙏💪👍❤️
Beautiful melodic tapping from Adrian. Dave and Janick are also absolute axe wielding assassins. Thats a big riff on the A string
The best version of the song..Holy Shit.
1982 is better
Beast Over Hammersmith would like a word
@@dillingerdoe2051 Bruce's older voice works WAYYY better for this song. He sings more melodically and with more emotion.
A melhor banda do mundo sou fã
What a performance... One of my favorites played like its still the 80s, STUNNING.
I love This solo
This is , undeniably, the very BEST audio quality of a live Iron Maiden concert... I have been a true fan for 32 years and I am completely melted at the brilliance and quality of this BAND... One of the greatest of ALL TIME!!
me too i discovered maiden in 1980 saw them many times live starting in 81 on killer tour when i was 15
I couldnt agree more. You can hear all 3 guitars perfectly.
Thomas Ramquist THE best, second to none
Kevin Shirley didn't mix this :D
Vicente Gutierrez most important of all, Steve didnt mix this xD
You Realize these guys are in their 60’s. And these venues are absolutely standing room only of thousands no more needs to be said. Long live the Irons
Theese raw, wild and punchy guys performs this magical song with charisma and stage presence unmatched....They are untouched and second to none, absolutely none !!!
40 years of this gem and the whole genre defining album. Immortal they are.
I'm quite an avid fan when it comes to Maiden and I have to say, in my opinion this is the best rendition of this song they've played to date, mostly because of how much effort Bruce is putting into the song.
Check out 2002 version played in Brixton.
Beast over Hammersmith
Adrian and Dave have still got the World by the balls
These guys are still doing it with passion. Loved iron maiden since I was 8.
