i think the bassist needs to hold his bass higher

[@nickname880]

Dennis Stratton is really underrated guitar player. And part of Iron Maiden history that will never be forgotten.

[@pahvilaatikko9587]

That is world record in bass height.

The guy playing Murray's parts did a great job. And I had no idea Dennis could sing so well. I enjoyed this.

I’ve watched this performance probably twenty times over the last couple of years and am still totally blown away by it.. Dennis sounds phenomenal doing the vocals.. His playing has always been top notch.. Dave Edwards can flat out jam. He plays Dave Murray’s part as well as Murray does and that’s a fact. Dennis got a raw deal back in the day.. the way he was sacked and all by Maiden. He was a HUGE part of that first album, which remains my favorite to this day. I sure hope if and when Iron Maiden decides to pack it in, they invite Dennis to be a part of the celebration. He was instrumental in helping the band form their signature sound. He deserves to be recognized, respected, and remembered for his vital contributions.

Stratton sounds closer to Dianno than Dianno does nowadays. Kick ass!

[@Vortigan07]

Well I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't have high hopes for that but I've been proved massively wrong! Very good indeed!

The world's a much cooler place now with heavy metal granddads in it.

Wow I was not expecting to hear such great vocals from Stratton. Great guitar playing, even better singing.

When you get to the gig and realize you packed the camera strap instead of your bass strap.

Saw Mr Stratton with Maiden in 1980 opening for Kiss. Changed my live.

The early Maiden stuff is absolutely killer

[@dave3643]

I absolutely love this, raw how it should be, amazing!!!

[@marcohorta3046]

One of the best versions of ‘Phantom’ I’ve ever heard

[@musicpilgrimages]

This video made me track down Dennis and Dave and go to Romford in the middle of the pandemic, to sit in a covered car park and hear them play. It was the only gig of 2020 , they played Phantom of the Opera and it was just amazing after having been locked up at home for so long.

I am so glad and honored to see Maiden in the early eighties at the Long Beach Arena, I was already drumming when I first saw Clive Burr, but when I first saw him perform I was taken back by his energy, R.I.P Clive Burr 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@christianbaecker5834]

Wouldn't it be great to see Maiden one more time to perform a few songs with Stratton and Di'Anno.

Dennis really nails his own solo, even better than the original album version.
