@@progrockjournal yes I know they’re my favorite metal band but I’m talking about the Maiden sound , it was influenced mostly by UFO and Scorpions and they got the idea of double axe from Thin Lizzy who also had that sound but you really hear it more on those Scorpions albums I mentioned 🤘🏼🔥
@progrockjournal Somebody of that account name should know that the Scorpions started as a band in 1965, to play their first show under the name of Scorpions one year later. Their debut album "Lonesome Crow" was released in 1972, obviously way before "Rocka Rolla" came out. 🤷 I'm from the Priest camp btw, but facts are facts. In general, nobody who has been there when it happened would deny the immense impact of early Scorpions on early Heavy Metal. It's just that from the late 80s on they became a flat poprock band, so today most people won't even know about their more ambitious days.
@@clausjahnel5379 very true Scorpions also deserve credit! That’s badass you from the Judas Priest camp! But yes not to forget Rudolf added Michael to Scorpions in 1968/69, and Scorpions demos came in then and 1970, by 1971 they recorded the whole albums , Judas Priest also had demos but around more like 1971-72 like “mind conception “ “whisky woman” “holy is the man” some very Proto Metal songs! They had a hard time getting that album out that’s why Al left and they finally recorded in 1974. I love both Priest and Scorpions, very similar in all! The songs the tours, the guitarists Michael and Kk! Both took about 5 yrs to put en album out! And they both got 19 albums! Funny enough Judas Priest discography is from 1974-2024 & Scorpions from 1972-2022🤘🏼😄🔥
Harris has also emphatically denied any punk influence on Iron Maiden whatsoever, so it doesn't sound like a very Harris thing to say. (It sounds more like something applicable to Motörhead.)
I'm surprised he would have said that. Back in 1977-1979 there wasn't really much to be considered 'heavy metal'. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Rainbow were about the only ones at the time doing this kind of heavy music. Then Motorhead and Venom came in and kicked the door down for Metallica and the era of speed and thrash metal in the early 80s but by then Maiden was already on their way.
Let me tell you a strange thing: the distance in time of this recording to the Virtual XI album (21 years) is the same of Brave new World to this day (21 years). Ooff.
The fuck??? Never heard or seen this before. This is gold. Can't believe my eyes 😉 My heart skipped a beat. Iron maiden is in my heart. Listening to them since I was a little girl. Even though I was born in 83
I was born in 87 I grew up with bands like Maiden, Metallica, Priest, from my pop. And bands like Slaughter, Poison, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi etc from my mom. That's music not the crap we hear today
I was born in 98 so I’m more than a decade younger than you guys. I agree completely. I love classic heavy metal like the Big 6 of Thrash Metal as well as Maiden, Sabbath, Priest and Motörhead. The three of us are more insightful millennials and Gen Zers. 😉
Paul sounds way better, I'll give you that. Without knowing the history I believe Steve would have still had the drive to make Maiden happen no matter who was fronting, especially if Dave was there.
To any doubters, it sounds genuine to me. Listening to Wilcock's V1/Gibraltar recordings from a few years later, it's most certainly him. This is the Holy Grail for Maiden fans, the "lost" era. But so important in their formulation - they rode these songs out for the first 2 lps until Bruce joined. Too bad it'll probably never be released. And Steve most certainly has earlier cassettes that won't be put out either.
Yep, ua-cam.com/video/QcAfQnZz9AE/v-deo.html . By the way, he sounded quite similar to the singer of a Scandinavian heavy metal band, a little bit famous in those years, called Heavy Load.
Yeah! He is! Dave Murray, in case you don't know, is also the Eddie (beast) from the future that holds a lighter and wears a hat that appears on the cover of the single of the Caught Somewhere In Time album. LOL Check it out now. LO
My favorite Iron Maiden track forever, the first I discovered when the first album came out. I was 18 and the memory and the mood of that era is still in my mind and my guts thanks to this track.
Frick yeah me too I was 16 in ‘81 when I bought the album based on the wild cover and someone had heard of them and I was into Priest already and I’ll never forget the feeling that opening riff gave me when I dropped the needle down on the record for the first time and not knowing what to expect. Mind frickin blown till this day and hearing this was awesome
There are also recordings from the Barry Graham Purkis ( Thunderstick) but....he is a bit afraid to release them because of legal actions might taken against him from the band. As he said , they were recorded using a simple cassette player. Wrathchild was Rothchild or something like that back in the early days.
someone should show him the abundance of bootlegs available on ebay and the like. or maybe release it under a name that's different to Maiden (say, the roots of Maiden or whatever)
This is awesome to hear, a time when maiden was still good but human. Shortly after they became legendary and never surrendered that status 👏 also cool to hear the songs were there from the beginning, they just needed the right people in place to take it to the next level, this is an example of why you should never give up 😎👌 up the irons! Always a fan.
So cool to hear!! I’ve never heard any of the incarnations before Paul Di’anno. They were formed Christmas Day 1975. Never heard anything from 1976-77. The Soundhouse Tapes Demo was recorded New Years Eve 1978.
This is mindblowing. Sounds like every striving musicians decade of garage boombox recordings.... yet it's obvious this was not average. Dianno era is my Iron Maiden.
Thanks man. This was nice hear. I really do hope that Iron Maiden give change fans to get these old live act. No new mixing just orginal sound and all mistakes on it. It is like bible to have this kindof material. Thank you for share it.❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's fascinating to hear a band's sound evolve, especially in the early days! Iron Maiden was two years old and still three years away from its first record deal. That's about the point when most bands give up. I only wish that the sound quality matched the value of this rare performance.
According to some diehard fan that was being interviewed for the current issue of german Deaf Forever Magazine, there might be a specific reason why these early live tapes hardly surface. Most of them are owned by people who worked for the band back in the day; some of them were being transered into digital files - by request of the band, actually. Apparently, these people had to sign contracts; that prevent them from ever copying/selling these recordings to anyone else. Explains a lot, if you ask me; though I personally think it's a shame. If there would ever be some sort of official release (which probably won't ever happen), I would gladly purchase my copy; it wouldn't battle their newer work in any form, plus us diehards would be happy!
this is the first full song ive heard up. Legacy Project has clips of a 1977 rehearsal, but this to my knowledge is the first full song released of the Wilcox era. He's better than I expected, even if he has a different sound than D'ianno or Dickinson.
Now we known because soundhouse tapes are awesome and launched the band to success... this is not the Maiden whos became famous, but they was on the way it...

This recording comes from a tape owned by dennis wilcock that has recently been sold to steve harris. It contains only moments from rehersals, and Prowler is the only complete live song. some guy that worked for the band in '77 in the other hand says he has the tape with all those songs from rehersal played live, many gems as whrathchild, drifter, another life, ive got the fire, dennis wilcock singing. if it falls in the net maiden will sue him. simple as that.

@@lflepie only that purgatory was called floating, transylvania had lyrics sang in rehersals by dennis wilcock, and that they were playing live around 77 songs like wrathchild, another life, drifter and purgatory(floating).

Even listening to the BBC sessions before Burr joined the songs are still slow, though not as slow as this era lol
@@themadmattster9647 I really like the versions from the soundhouse tapes with doug sampson playing more than the originals, since the first album was really the worst production ever.

We need to go to Steve Harris house and say put Dianno and Bayley recordings on compilation albums and make it legal to release the old recordings. These singers probably wrote a lot of stuff in their tenures , Paul 1 and Denny. And we don’t have a live recording of Burning Ambition. Diabolical!
Maybe, just MAYBE.. they'll make it one day. Fuck, even then they're better than anything today. Steve Harris was and is a visionary. True to the word.
Considering this early version, Paul Di'Anno, coming later, pushed the title to the top. The best Maiden singer was Paul Di'anno and that's here the evidence.
@@AndE667 Wrong. They were already headlining with Paul from their debut album tour and hit #4 on the UK Charts during this time as well. Killers gave them their first solo world tour as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden_Tour en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_World_Tour NOTB would have been a success regardless, their momentum was secured with the first 2 albums which both hit the top 10 on the UK charts, without any airplay on MTV for that matter. You can say that NOTB was the album that made them breakthrough in America, but the facts show that Maiden were headlining long before that with Paul.
Fantastic to hear anything pre debut album. No disrespect to Ron Matthews and Doug Sampson, but Clive really gave this band a hugely-needed injection of energy. Interesting to hear Dennis Wilcock, as well. Di'Anno was also a huge upgrade.
Oh, dear lord! I put together a hard rock band in the late 70s called Prowler. We had no idea about these guys at that time. We had a difficult time getting gigs, so we sponsored our own. We went nowhere and eventually disbanded, but we definitely had some fun. Btw, I never really liked the name Prowler.
Dennis Wilcock never was a good vocalist, well known for being a showman though and was one of those guys who was just interesting to watch on stage. Could tell that he wasn't the guy for a band that wanted to go pro though and him firing everyone,leaving and forcing Steve to start recruiting again from scratch is the best thing he did for Maiden.
man, hard to call, like instantly we all love it, but do we love it because its fucking awesome, or because we know its maiden right away from the first note...
Is this real??? Holy fuck if it is! If only there was footage too. I remember Steve Harris saying years ago that his kids taped over a video of them pre Dianno.
O vocal do Dennis Wilcock ficou perdido no tempo, a grande massa de fans do Iron Maiden pouco sabem dele, pena que não existem muitas filmagens da banda nessa época!
I found out on a UA-cam channel, which was removed shortly after. I managed to save before that, and spread it before it's lost. Sorry for english from Google translate
Dennis Wilcock, no recording of Paul Day when he was in Iron Maiden (unfortunately) has emerged. However, he had a career in music, and you can find videos where he is singing. He also had a powerful voice, but not a great stage presence as the story goes.
I was probs there that night not many copys of maiden 77 floating about I know there one of the bridgehouse float about and the other one is a full set at the plough barking which only 4 people have a copy and iam one of them cd is lock up in a safe place
sorry it was the harrow pub in barking not the plough Saturday 18th june 1977 a friend of mine recored it on a tape recorder and to cut a long story short I found it 35 years later in my loft with some old tapes had it clean up and put on cd .the only people who hve this cd is myself the guy up in Scotland who done the cd for me dennis and another guy .

Good joke man😃
This is a great song but Bruce is so much more
@@zsjb_ Paul already made them successful headliners before Bruce came along. That's just the truth.
@@GorditoCrunch343 Not really. The Number Of The Beast was the band's breakthrough album that made them a headlining act.
@@AndE667 Wrong. They were already headlining with Paul from their debut album tour and hit #4 on the UK Charts during this time as well. Killers gave them their first solo world tour as well.

NOTB would have been a success regardless, their momentum was secured with the first 2 albums which both hit the top 10 on the UK charts, without any airplay on MTV for that matter. You can say that NOTB was the album that made them breakthrough in America, but the facts show that Maiden were headlining long before that with Paul.
Raridade, primeira vez que escuto Iron pré DiAnno.
Who was a great vocalist.
Fantastic to hear anything pre debut album. No disrespect to Ron Matthews and Doug Sampson, but Clive really gave this band a hugely-needed injection of energy.
Interesting to hear Dennis Wilcock, as well. Di'Anno was also a huge upgrade.
Cool retrospective
But in Bridgehouse there wasn't Dave Murray. Bridgehouse has line-up : Steve, Dennis, Thunderstick, Wapram and Moore.
Am I wrong?
helt otroligt ju
More please!
Unfortunately I only have this record, and a lot of 30 sec. clips already published
1:40 wow so much mellow dynamics, jazzy and psychedelic. Could be Jimi Hendrix or King Crimson.
Зарождение легенды
Oh, dear lord! I put together a hard rock band in the late 70s called Prowler. We had no idea about these guys at that time. We had a difficult time getting gigs, so we sponsored our own. We went nowhere and eventually disbanded, but we definitely had some fun.
Btw, I never really liked the name Prowler.
in the same year that Judas Priest releases his album Sin after Sin with a million light years ahead in sound quality
Thank the lord Steve Harris saw sense and replaced Dennis Wilcox with Paul Di’Anno .
This is "old old school" Iron Maiden.
Dennis Wilcock never was a good vocalist, well known for being a showman though and was one of those guys who was just interesting to watch on stage. Could tell that he wasn't the guy for a band that wanted to go pro though and him firing everyone,leaving and forcing Steve to start recruiting again from scratch is the best thing he did for Maiden.
man, hard to call, like instantly we all love it, but do we love it because its fucking awesome, or because we know its maiden right away from the first note...
It's totally different than anything else around in 77 !
Actually, this version is better than most of all the after ones. 🤘
This Is The Real Lineup In 1977:
Ron Matthews-Drums
Bob Sawyer-Guitar
Steve Harris-Bass
Tony Moore-Keyboard
Den Wilcox-Vocalist
Help me please I can't unhear this.
And now listen to it with the speed x 1,25 and probably then you would have a real feel how it sounded those days... :)
This is Gold but damn Dennis doesn't sing good.. Thanks Paul you saved the band
It's missing something...
...Dennis Stratton
No video in full HD? :-)
Nice vocals !!!
Wow - THANKS for uploading this!
There's two guitars though - not just Dave's...?
It's Terry Wapram, who left the band in 1978
if drummer is Ron Matthews, second guitar must be Bob Sawyer.
Luiz, valeu por publicar, não consegui salvar no dia, quase comprei do cara que tava vendendo no Mercado Livre...Up the Irons!
⭐⭐⭐ Fuckin' Classic ⭐⭐⭐
Is this real??? Holy fuck if it is! If only there was footage too. I remember Steve Harris saying years ago that his kids taped over a video of them pre Dianno.
He had kids before dianno joined?
VHS or Betamax barely existed then so it was probably originally on 8mm then it was transferred to VHS so the original one might still be around
While Led Zeppelin shooking USA, in UK Iron Maiden shooking small pubs
Terry Wapram on guitar, not Dave Murray. Murray was absent from the band for most of 1977.
i love old material of metalbands and this is great.
Dave murray ... i understand KK downing became crazy on the tour .
More here. Its sounds like KK 400 %.
The schredd .. no mention to the look
Had Maiden be offered a contract in 1977 they would be as famous as Ethel the Frog.
......strange that I'm in the thumbnail pic and on the recording......yet not credited......... ;)
O vocal do Dennis Wilcock ficou perdido no tempo, a grande massa de fans do Iron Maiden pouco sabem dele, pena que não existem muitas filmagens da banda nessa época!
There is none
segundo vocalista do contra muito bem
literalmente, um iron maiden embrião
Dennis foi o primeiro vocalista do iron maiden brow
Where did you see it sold?
Where did you get it from?
I found out on a UA-cam channel, which was removed shortly after. I managed to save before that, and spread it before it's lost.
Sorry for english from Google translate
Shame the camera man left the lens cap on..such a missed opportunity! :)
Nitidamente sao duas guitarras que estão tocando essa música. Que. Será que era o outro guitarrista?
Iron Maiden is a great fucking band, Dennis Wilcock is a great fucking singer
are you allan james johnson from exciter? dennis sang better on the thunderstick recordings, especially Another Life 1977
Who was on vocals at this point still Paul Mario Day or Dennis ?
Dennis Wilcock, no recording of Paul Day when he was in Iron Maiden (unfortunately) has emerged. However, he had a career in music, and you can find videos where he is singing. He also had a powerful voice, but not a great stage presence as the story goes.
I was probs there that night not many copys of maiden 77 floating about I know there one of the bridgehouse float about and the other one is a full set at the plough barking which only 4 people have a copy and iam one of them cd is lock up in a safe place
Great! Can you confirm the date of this concert?
I only re-up this because I saw people selling this single
sorry it was the harrow pub in barking not the plough Saturday 18th june 1977 a friend of mine recored it on a tape recorder and to cut a long story short I found it 35 years later in my loft with some old tapes had it clean up and put on cd .the only people who hve this cd is myself the guy up in Scotland who done the cd for me dennis and another guy .
Lucky man. Be careful with it. If I was you, I'll do the same. (sorry for the limited vocabulary)
What do you intend to do with this recording?
Steve Harris and Dave Murray let the flame going.
Just wondering why he didnt filmed that on phone. Now we dont have the visual effects.
Phones with cameras weren't invented back in them days.
w o w
Im stoned and that guitar made me laugh so bad lol 😂
