[@maiden1520]

The fuck??? Never heard or seen this before. This is gold. Can't believe my eyes 😉 My heart skipped a beat. Iron maiden is in my heart. Listening to them since I was a little girl. Even though I was born in 83

[@thethunderbird87]

I was born in 87 I grew up with bands like Maiden, Metallica, Priest, from my pop. And bands like Slaughter, Poison, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi etc from my mom. That's music not the crap we hear today

[@666dynomax]

fuckin cool, early steve and dave, amazing. listen to that solo.

[@big4skol83]

I was born in 98 so I’m more than a decade younger than you guys. I agree completely. I love classic heavy metal like the Big 6 of Thrash Metal as well as Maiden, Sabbath, Priest and Motörhead. The three of us are more insightful millennials and Gen Zers. 😉

@Joe Mode this Dennis Wilcock on the vocals but i still think that Paul Dianno saves the band in some ways and steve too

Paul sounds way better, I'll give you that. Without knowing the history I believe Steve would have still had the drive to make Maiden happen no matter who was fronting, especially if Dave was there.

[@razorm4527]

Sound like a cover band doing a cover of a cover band covering Iron Maiden

[@towhee89]

To any doubters, it sounds genuine to me. Listening to Wilcock's V1/Gibraltar recordings from a few years later, it's most certainly him. This is the Holy Grail for Maiden fans, the "lost" era. But so important in their formulation - they rode these songs out for the first 2 lps until Bruce joined. Too bad it'll probably never be released. And Steve most certainly has earlier cassettes that won't be put out either.

[@leebrailsford251]

That's a shame as life long fans would literally lap it all up. This would be great along side my collection of merch.

[@renelec5669]

My favorite Iron Maiden track forever, the first I discovered when the first album came out. I was 18 and the memory and the mood of that era is still in my mind and my guts thanks to this track.

[@madlynx1818]

Frick yeah me too I was 16 in ‘81 when I bought the album based on the wild cover and someone had heard of them and I was into Priest already and I’ll never forget the feeling that opening riff gave me when I dropped the needle down on the record for the first time and not knowing what to expect. Mind frickin blown till this day and hearing this was awesome

[@maxdesmer2008]

There are also recordings from the Barry Graham Purkis ( Thunderstick) but....he is a bit afraid to release them because of legal actions might taken against him from the band. As he said , they were recorded using a simple cassette player. Wrathchild was Rothchild or something like that back in the early days.

[@TheLarryburns84]

someone should show him the abundance of bootlegs available on ebay and the like. or maybe release it under a name that's different to Maiden (say, the roots of Maiden or whatever)

Now we known because soundhouse tapes are awesome and launched the band to success... this is not the Maiden whos became famous, but they was on the way it...

[@prahmados]

According to some diehard fan that was being interviewed for the current issue of german Deaf Forever Magazine, there might be a specific reason why these early live tapes hardly surface. Most of them are owned by people who worked for the band back in the day; some of them were being transered into digital files - by request of the band, actually. Apparently, these people had to sign contracts; that prevent them from ever copying/selling these recordings to anyone else. Explains a lot, if you ask me; though I personally think it's a shame. If there would ever be some sort of official release (which probably won't ever happen), I would gladly purchase my copy; it wouldn't battle their newer work in any form, plus us diehards would be happy!

[@themadmattster9647]

this is the first full song ive heard up. Legacy Project has clips of a 1977 rehearsal, but this to my knowledge is the first full song released of the Wilcox era. He's better than I expected, even if he has a different sound than D'ianno or Dickinson.

Oh, dear lord! I put together a hard rock band in the late 70s called Prowler. We had no idea about these guys at that time. We had a difficult time getting gigs, so we sponsored our own. We went nowhere and eventually disbanded, but we definitely had some fun. Btw, I never really liked the name Prowler.

[@GorditoCrunch343]

​@@AndE667 Wrong. They were already headlining with Paul from their debut album tour and hit #4 on the UK Charts during this time as well. Killers gave them their first solo world tour as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden_Tour en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_World_Tour NOTB would have been a success regardless, their momentum was secured with the first 2 albums which both hit the top 10 on the UK charts, without any airplay on MTV for that matter. You can say that NOTB was the album that made them breakthrough in America, but the facts show that Maiden were headlining long before that with Paul.

[@larstiussi1362]

This recording comes from a tape owned by dennis wilcock that has recently been sold to steve harris. It contains only moments from rehersals, and Prowler is the only complete live song. some guy that worked for the band in '77 in the other hand says he has the tape with all those songs from rehersal played live, many gems as whrathchild, drifter, another life, ive got the fire, dennis wilcock singing. if it falls in the net maiden will sue him. simple as that. My opinion>maiden heavy sound would only be possible when clive burr got the drums, and then martin birch to complete the heavy polished sound. then steve fires clive and gets all the gold and shows whos boss.

Ok... I find this trap. It seems that someone wanting to do easy business has wanted to go smart and is selling the CD in Mercado Libre and other platforms. Ok, the reason why the extraction of the files goes with losses and poor quality is because they are the fragments that we have all been able to hear on the KZbin channel and on the website of The Legacy Project. Removing the first song, the rest are just fragments, exactly the same as we have heard ... few surprises. Come on, this is called a scam. I don't know who can be responsible for this ... but, if Dennis or Barry have the complete digitized files of the original Reel to Reel format in their possession, what is the point of being taken from a video website? That is, Dennis and Barry seem to have nothing to do with this.
