How come 36 years later..it sounds as fresh as yesterday?! Long live rock!!!

[@rustykuntz94]

Such a great song, this is the BEST version of this live I've seen, Adrian nails his solo, my God, is he brilliant.

[@davidoriordan1393]

Exactly, Janick butchers it every single time. He doesn’t even play in key. Not good enough for Maiden but he gets away with it

[@eliasHZAT]

@@davidoriordan1393 For real, he did compose some good stuff but he definitely isnt made for solos

[@TheBfutgreg]

@@eliasHZAT They were a *huge* band at the time and the best they can do is him? I mean he's alright but I would expect some world-class shredder (who ALSO knows restraint since pure shred isn't true Maiden....anyway), but to add on to that they then get Blayze Bayley who isn't a bad singer at all but isn't in the same range as Bruce (which means touring's gonna be a bitch for him) plus this voice while decent doesn't fit Maiden IMO.....At least Brave New World was decent enough to purge the bad vibes of the 90s albums

[@eliasHZAT]

@@TheBfutgreg 90's Maiden was a dark era lol ...

[@chromaxd26]

wow, the sound is better than the flight 666 version I can actually hear Nicko s hi hat and ride

[@IronMaidenDoD]

i think hes playing them in this recording and doesnt in the studio and flight 666. i think this version is far better. i live those hi hats

[@a.kguitars930]

Probably because Martin Birch mixed it and not Kevin Shirley.

[@kili1985]

@@a.kguitars930 There is a Shirley remix of this show and it is of course absolutely terrible. Nicos drums sound like garbage cans and they are way too loud. The entire mix is too loud, no dynamics anymore

[@Kinslayerdc]

And Dave Murray smiles at the end fade away. They knew they nailed it. Awesome performance.

[@thomasgradl9320]

For me - the best Iron Maiden Song- this Version is epic...

[@privatehudson]

Goosebumps everytime when the crew comes on stage for the singalong. I have watched the Maiden England VHS since 1989, but don´t have a working player anymore. Thank god for youtube.

[@DavidJohnson-cd6pe]

You can pick up vhs player at charity shops

[@johndeanrichards4067]

[@jamiefox1045]

I bought this vid on vhs in 1990, wore it smack out, I swear I watched it so many times I was part of the show. Seen them live 22 years later. Up the Irons!!

[@carlosvqz4848]

Tremenda Facha el de Bruce Dickinson, su puesta en escena es loable, es de los mejores Frontman de todos los tiempos , está en mi lista de los 5 mejores un capo el maestro Bruce ❤️

[@mariner76]

Both guitar solos are epic

[@MarcoScorbati]

Adrian 's solo = God 's solo!!!

[@NordpeakConsulting]

Nicko's drums parts are fantastic and contribute so much to Maiden's unique musical signature ! Amazing band :)

[@smith9670]

Adrian is just fantastic, in the "God mode". :D

[@TheBfutgreg]

Always has been my favorite member of the band, yes even behind Steve and Bruce, long live epic lead guitar!!

[@thomaslejon]

I love jazz , fusion jazz but when i listen maiden one time , i think thats the best music ever ! Nothing else

[@marcostrindade3701]

[@chuckcrunch1]

the woho wo's with the crew nice'!

[@vinny4409]

Adrian é muito foda

[@1251wire]

Great times for me as a long meticulous maiden fan. My hero Davey was playing his #1 strat except for the occasional ESP, Rod Smallwood, Dick Bell ( pinching Steve's throat @ 3:55 ) Dave Lights and some of the original crew were there for the sing along what a tour family and felt part of it, the maiden line up as I liked minus Clive Burr were amazing. I was young and indestructible and had fuel for days ! I caught Adrian's wristband and Nicko's drumstick which I still have and I threw my sweat soaked undershirt at Steve's face. Wore my 7th son jersey proud as hell which I still have. Glad Bruce was not in his turn off your joints phase then cause I'd been thrown out !!!

Cuando ví "Heaven can wait" en el vídeo "Maiden England" me quedé asombrado por la puesta en escena y la actitud de los fans en el NEC de Birmingham.La banda lo bordó.

[@ajwasp]

I remember seeing the UK tour. I saw them at Whitley Bay Ice Rink, it was the first major concert I ever went to in my life. Saw Maiden last time in Warsaw, Poland, 2011. Time flies!!!!!

Lyrics: Can’t understand what is happening to me This isn’t real this is only a dream But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before I’m looking down on my body below I lie asleep in the midst of a dream Is it now could it be the Angel of death has come for me? I can’t believe that really my time has come I don’t feel ready, there’s so much left undone And it’s my soul and I’m not gonna let it get away Heaven can wait, heaven can wait Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day Heaven can wait, heaven can wait Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day I have a lust for the earth below And Hell itself is my only foe ‘Cause I’ve no fear of dying, I’ll go when I’m good and ready I snatch a glimpse of the light’s eternal rays I see a tunnel, I stand amazed At all of the people standing there in front of me Into the paths of rightness I’ll be led Is this the place where the living join the dead? I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare Heaven can wait, heaven can wait Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day Heaven can wait, heaven can wait Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day Take my hand, I’ll lead you to the promised land Take my hand, I’ll give you immortality Eternal youth, I’ll take you to the other side To see the truth the path for you is decided My body tingles, I feel so strange I feel so tired, I feel so drained And I'm wondering if I’ll ever be the same again Is this in Limbo or in Heaven or Hell? Maybe I’m going down there as well I can’t accept my soul will drift forever Feel myself floating back down to earth So could this be the hour of my rebirth Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?
