Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark - Rock in Rio [High Quality]

[@atlys258]

For nearly 20 years, I have firmly believed this is the single greatest live performance of any song ever.

[@jeblovemetal]

Agreed

[@hermosbird6335]

Except Queen's Live Aid 1985

[@idontknow164]

It's so good, they put it on their Greatest Hits album rather than the studio version.

@@idontknow164 I didn't get Rock in Rio when it came out, but I still remember the first time I heard this live performance on Edward The Great, it was so incredible it was almost like I was hearing Fear for the very first time all over again.
