[@Wigmore72]

I've seen Maiden about 15 times since I started listening to them in '81. Saw them last night at the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK. While they are MUCH older now, the show was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I've probably been to 75 concerts on my life, they are STILL the best live show EVER!

[@jinzoslegions]

Just saw them in El Paso and they absolutely ruled. First time I was able to see my favorite band in my hometown as the other two times I had to travel.

I'm from Rio and I was there in 85. Still the best concert of my life. Before Maiden's gig....... Whitesnake with Cozy Powell and John Sikes! And after Maiden... Queen!!!! A truly Magical night for 250.000 Lucky ones who witnessed that historical moment.

I’m seeing them in Spokane Washington in 2 weeks and I have never been more excited for anything in my life!

[@Gazzom666]

I first saw Iron Maiden play live in Donnington monsters of rock in 1988, and I've seen them play 9 times since then with the last time in June of this year in June in Zurich with my son. They played as well and with the energy and they did the first time I saw them. These guy have always been pros and take the live shows seriously making sure they give their best for the fans every night. If you have never seen them live you need too at least once. Up the Irons!!!!

[@simonebiagini1409]

garet please based on your opinion,why they haven't released an official monsters of rock 88 live dvd?instead of maiden england's nec performance? we know of the accident, of the deaths, etc. but now decades have passed by and the donington 88 show was one of the best of their seventh tour.......if they released the clairvoyant video with the footage they must have filmed the whole show

[@greenslider]

@@simonebiagini1409 the audio recording was available on the BBC Tapes, part of a box set ...actually more of a casket type thing ( too bloody expensive)from the early 2000's. The day of the festival, I recall a big screen disassembling itself during the day. We didn't know about the deaths until after we got back on the bus to go home

[@chicsamson6457]

I saw them at donny too that year....Second london show in 23 will be my 101st Maiden gig

[@coachinho4919]

Since 2001 I go to evey Iron Maiden concerts in Brazil, including Rock In Rio (I live in Rio). It's amazing how professional they are!!! To me, the greatest show on earth! Incredible night! Long live Iron Maiden!

[@DraemoraH]

Dude, I just went to a Maiden concert on the 30th of August, in a city close to my hometown in Brazil. It was the first big concert I was able to attend and also kind of cheap! I was elated. I've been an Iron Maiden fan since I was a child and it was truly a dream come true. They're incredible live, Bruce was just jumping and singing and dancing all at the same time and honestly, me at 23yo could never. Oh man... It was unforgettable. I wish I could attend Knotfest in December so I could see Judas Priest, my all time favorite band, but I'm broke as hell. It's heartbreaking because I don't know if Judas will be around Brazil anytime soon after that due to their old and wise age, but one can hope!

[@markw.loughton6786]

I've seen Maiden live off and on over 31 years, every gig has been a powerhouse performance, greatest live band ever imo.

[@badmonkey2222]

I saw them on Powerslave tour, tripping on 2 hits of acid....🤘

[@frankferriolo9212]

1988? You missed the best tour. The World Slavery Tour in 1985. By 1988 Maiden was already old news. But still relevant for sure. But by 1988; Metallica was taking over with their And Justice For All album.

[@markw.loughton6786]

I saw Maiden for the first time on the World Slavery Tour at the Long Beach Arena...4th night, March 17th 1985...fast forward 37 years..and over 50 Maiden shows to Tulsa Oklahoma 2 nights ago!! I got goosebumps in 1985...and goosebumps in 2022...

Great video, O have 53years old, Iam from Brazil, Sao Paulo, in 85 I was a Huge Maiden fan, it was the best show ever. My first concert of Maiden was in 92 . By the way In 2022 I was in Maiden tour..30years after the first show here in Sao Paulo, it was Amazing...up to the Irons..up your horNs in the air...cheers

[@juanramosb.4029]

Back in 2001 I was in the backstage of Rock in Rio and beside the births of my 3 boys, that was the best day of my life (don't let my wife see this). Good luck with your country and I wish you the best!

[@thejaydenx.3231]

The last September 7th I had the oportunity to see Iron Maiden with my dad en CDMX, The Legacy Of The Beast Tour 2022, I was OOFING AWESOME, already 11 days have been passed and I'm still with the feelings of that night, I LOVED that night, and I have no regrets of it, I gave all with The Writing On The Wall and man, nothing more to say, Iron Maiden was The BEST.

[@thiagotedeschi30]

I love when they come to Rock in Rio because they also play in other cities, like São Paulo, and I can always go! The concert at Morumbi's stadiums are especial

[@andrenunesrosa758]

Yeah, O Brasil ama o Iron Maiden, seus shows são incríveis. Em 2022 além do Rock In Rio a banda se apresentou em mais 3 cidades em território brasileiro todos lotados. Na minha opinião em 2001 foi melhor apresentação do Iron no Rock In Rio. Valeu!!!!!

I finally got to see Iron Maiden in Austin, Texas Tuesday on the 13th🔥 Drove 4 hours for their show and now it’s the greatest concert I think I will ever go to and I mean it🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@michaeldean7220]

I think most Maiden fans will recognise the 2001 Brave New World Rio appearance one of their classic gigs. A band that had fought through a sticky 90's period and were reborn and energized by the return of Bruce and Adrian. The only minor negative about the gig was the bands official DVD of the gig which was over edited by Steve Harris

[@alexandre_am]

Yeah, in the final mix Bruce's voice was put over many parts where the crowd sang, mostly at The Clansman and Fear Of The Dark...also the instruments, that were already pretty loud at the concert, got even louder at both CD and DVD

[@michaeldean7220]

@@alexandre_am to be honest that didn't bother me that much nor did the obvious video ' drop ins ' where the eagle eyed among us could see the guitars being used change mid song. My real issue was Steve's 100 mph video editing which was a distracting and made your head spin. I think he was trying to convey the energy of the gig but it back fired a little. By contrast I really like the video editing on the En Vivo DVD which he didn't do and whilst predictable is very polished

[@alexandre_am]

@@michaeldean7220 the audio mixing bothers me more cause I only have the CD, and watched the live broadcast then the DVD once or twice

I was there also.

[@jaquelinerocha2586]

On January 11, 1985, this long love story between Brazil and Maiden would begin. We love several bands, of different genres, but we are the country that listens to this band, eternal and fantastic. Also, we have amazing cover bands, which will never let this dear band be forgotten around here😉

Saw them in Austin earlier this week and the show was the best I've seen. The band looked and sounded way older then when I saw them two years ago, but the show was by far the most theatrical.

[@Pincer88]

Though I sadly wasn't there at the time, I think Maiden's performance in 2001 probably is their best one in Rio. Just look at how the crowd reacts during The Clansman - they are going berserk! And rightly so, that crownd, the performance - sheer legend.

First RIR lineup is unbeatable. Most important rock bands at their peaks were there: Iron Maiden - World Slavery Tour / Scorpions - World Wide Live tour / Queen - A Kind of Magic tour / AC/DC - Flick of the Switch tour / Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon tour / Whitesnake - Slide It In tour / Yes - 90125 tour and so on... Because of the lack of know-how in creating a massive festival in Brazil, after almost 40 years It's still unbelievable how Roberto Medina could make that happen

[@OUTOFTHE9]

Saw Maiden in Rio in 2019. Was a total dream come true to travel to South America from Northern Ireland to see them. They do just get better with age and the 2018/19 were among some of the best shows they have done. Saw them 10 times in Europe in 2022 just to be on the safe side 😉

[@marcelbr815]

Iron Maiden was introduced to a whole new crowd back in 1985 (mind you, Brasil had just gotten out of a long lasting dictatorship who wasn't very fond of rock music). Only hardcore rock fans actually knew them by then. After Rock In Rio, they became gigantic in South America, one of Brazil's most beloved bands ever. For a country this big, it's quite an achievement. But the stars aligned for a band that was on the top of their game (and we're talking about possibly the best live band ever) and a country that was absolutely hungry for live music.

[@maiiju6855]

At 37 years old I only discovered Iron Maiden this year, sadly... why, Why, WHY?!?! They almost instantly became me and my boyfriend's favorite band. We have like 20+ favorite songs.. (so far because we haven't heard all the songs yet) which never happened to us before with any other band. We were lucky enough to get tickets to their show in Ottawa last September. Even if we were very very far, it was the best show of our lives! I know they are not very young anymore but we're really hoping to see more shows from them in the next years, hopefully they can come to Québec this time. :) From what I've seen on YT, my fav Rock In Rio performance would be the one in 2001. I love the "Brave New World" video. So much energy! 🤩
