Iron Maiden - Behind the Iron Curtain - Original MTV Hammersmith Version

[@steelr66]

You can thank me for this version. I recorded it in September of 84 from MTV. I used to trade tapes/DVD from the mid 80s on. I authored as Videoverkill / Phantom Creations.

[@Samantas5855]

That is pretty cool, do you have it in better quality?

[@danlane3528]

So this aces high live version was filmed at hammersmith?

[@emankcin1701]

​@@danlane3528audio could be but all the clips are from the first few gigs of the tour

[@alfredoromo635]

That is awesome. I like this version.

[@AnthonyAnthony-tk4ye]

I have the same one 😁

[@Alex151175]

Dave Murray is an incredible guitarist... and a wizard! He can change the guitar neck 6:03 - 6:07 in the middle of Aces High's solo! 🤣🤣🤣

"Ah, you can't play heavy metal with synthesizers" - Bruce D. LOL!!! That was the most Spinal Tap moment in Iron Maiden history right there. Bruce has a microphone that goes all the way to 11 because it's one more.

[@metalfordays]

Bruce: *You can't play heavy metal with synthesizers* Iron Maiden: *releases Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son* 😂

[@eliasHZAT]

@@metalfordays and then every Maiden album after have synth in some of their tracks

[@metalfordays]

@@eliasHZAT yeah but not all :)

[@pcorcoran100]

Sounds like Borat. I like the heavy metal.

[@metalEric69]

Not behind the iron curtain it wouldn’t have been.

[@SeaOfMadness]

They were on fire on that tour - An unstoppable force. I bought this on VHS when It came out and watched it until the tape stretched. Easy to forget just how big a deal this was for those fans who had spent their lives being unable to see the bands they loved actually play a venue in their country.

[@maurizioslavery2153]

The animal voice of young Bruce❤❤

[@javierdelasheras209]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had been looking for this version for a long time. I used to have the old VHS, and then noticed the official DVD sounded different! Very happy getting to hear this version again thanks to you. I never knew it was audio from Hammersmith 1984. I wish they released all the Live After Death shows, Powerslave is my favourite album and tour.

[@enriquesoto6534]

Agree a 100% How about a Live After Death Special Edition, with a couple of FULL Hammesmith shows as bonus discs?! Anyone interested? Then it’s only me then…

[@Fernunezalaire]

The sound is amazing and raw! Love This, way much better than the dvd audio

[@TerriHufnagleAckley]

Happy birthday,Congrats, to the best Band Iron Maiden #1 and It's one of my favorite songs ♾️ ❤

I used to own this on VHS back in the day. Still love it.

Very good

Today it has been exactly 40 years since the start of the World Slavery Tour

[@mikehosken4328]

Wish I had Maiden play at my wedding.

[@MajorImpact]

Anyone know what song is being played at 19:05? The first time I heard it I thought it was the clean guitar part from Revelations, but it's not.

[@Samantas5855]

I've also been wondering for quite some time

[@MajorImpact]

@@Samantas5855 I've been wondering since 1984. I don't think it's Maiden even though it sounds like it could be. They only had 5 albums out at the time and I just can't place it.

[@Samantas5855]

@@MajorImpact It could be Adrian or Dave jamming or some demo from Powerslave

[@davemccausland5039]

It is the guitar section from Revelations you're referring to. Sounds like it was recorded when a couple of the band members were practicing, perhaps during a soundcheck.

[@amaderuelo]

​@@davemccausland5039 No way

Anyone know what’s playing from 19:05-19:58? That sounds awesome and I always wondered…..

[@r.g.armstrong2688]

So many people consider The Beatles as the greatest band ever and the most important. Maiden were and this to me.

Watching this again. Let me know if you want the full story of how this came together. May be cool for your fans to know the "Real" story on how this version came about?? Really cool story for the real fans. Give me your contact info. Really great story. It is not the Hammersmith version... AT ALL.
