"The Red and the Black" Iron Maiden@Madison Square Garden New York 3/30/16

The Red and the Black, Iron Maiden, Madison Square Garden, New York, March 30th, 2016; The Book of Souls World Tour

[@Cobra0710]

From Washington DC, I flew to both Tulsa (BOK) and LA (Forum) to see Maiden. Of all the new songs, this was the one that mesmerized me in my tracks. A true beauty.

[@musicvideoenhancer]

Best song from The Book of Souls album! Amazing job!

[@thedamian329]

Wish the would of played Empire of the Clouds tho..

[@LegettHall]

This song is up there with the Rein. of BBreeg. One of their best ever.

[@elkardona]

Yes this is the best song of Book of souls; and the best part of Maiden´s live shows is that they always plays the entire song. No matter how long and complex it is.

[@elkardona]

LegettHall I'm like you in Maiden preferences, I like more complex than old songs, but I know Maiden with oldies and still love it.

[@thedamian329]

Elkin Cardona Im the same way, i love everything they have done but the long stuff is the way i like my Maiden

[@TheStephanSD]

This song...this incredible song made it into my top 5 Maiden songs of all times...from the first time I've listened to it!!

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

An ever so addictive and catchy song !!! The brilliant rythm, the solos, guitars harmonies, and an instrumental part you just want to never stop........so Maidenous....

[@bowa6672]

adrian sounds amazing his guitar work is iron maiden

[@mattmorgan3862]

There will never be a singer like Bruce. His voice moves me to tears. I was in awe of this song when I saw them in Detroit. Maiden is the best.

[@gregboardman915]

I was never a big Iron Maiden fan but saw them live recently and I have to admit they blew me away

[@flavour1970]

+Greg Boardman ive been to a shitoad of metal concerts and seeing maiden 2 weeks ago was best concert i ever went to

[@irenecentille5156]

THAT'S AWESOME GREG!!! I have seen them ever tour since 1982's "The Beast on the Road" tour. Met them in June, 1988 in Chicago. WELCOME TO THE IRON MAIDEN FAMILY!!!! UP-THE-IRONS!

[@2ndcutbunkers372]

Took my girlfriend to her first Maiden show in Tampa on Sunday. She walked in not knowing what the fuck to expect. Walked out blown away. She wants to borrow my copy of Book of Souls lol.

[@Pollux7471]

I can't stop listen this amazing poem

[@liammerrick6399]

i could watch them live every night

[@willt65]

What a great version ! They nailed this !

[@robertanolan4876]

The Toronto show was awesome.. Maiden still kicking ass after all these years!!

[@jesusguerra1093]

steve harris's sounds so furious and wild! And for me is amazing the energy Janick has, the guy is dancing, jumping and fooling around enjoying the gig just like everyone in the crowd, he is one more kid, just like his guitar playing, pure wildness which by the way, I happens to like.

[@ImpostorModanica]

Totally agree with everything!

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Jesus Guerra, Jannick always performs like this, he has brought so much more LIFE to their gigs...I simply love IRON MAIDEN to bits, but if you were there, who would you pay most attention to ??????

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Theese incredible amazing guys are soooo in a league of their own....they are untouchable, no metal band will ever surpass them !! And their performance of this blistering, overjoyed mastepiece...Magnificent guys !!!

[@bolasero01]

Its amazing how they enjoy the scenery. No other band does it like them

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

MAGNIFICENT, AWESOME, UNBELIEVABLE....WHAT AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF THIS STUNNING SONG....I MUST SAY THE WHOLE ALBUM THE BOOK OF SOULS IS OUTSTANDING..........AFTER 40 YEARS....IRON MAIDEN IS ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWING, OVERWHELMING, SUBLIME............

[@mrmetal1276]

A maiden classic, the whole song is just pure class! Up the Irons

[@Sensessional]

Fantastic shot of the boys at 11:25--> Steve Harris hammers it. Thanks for sharing!

[@dragonute003]

I love to see Adrian and Dave having fun together like that when they are playing. Such a strong friendship :)

[@AdamYoudell]

That's the beautiful thing, they go back to pretty much day 1

[@chemicalwarfare6307]

I think they love each other in the whole band

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

dragonute003 Even Adrian have become a little bit more " alive " on this one....I think that is awesome, he´s used to stand still and did´t look that anything bothered him....and I like his new outfit style, it´s really becoming............

[@MsBenlane]

have read he is kind of shy@@susannewilliamsson8339

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

WOW, theese incredible guys performs this gorgeous song with all their force, fury and extrem passion....a blistering song, every so catchy rythm, singing guitars and a fantastic instrumental part !!! Pure heaven.....

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Absolutely bewitching, this spellbinding, overjoyed song performed by the gods of heavy metal....this ever so hypnotic song always takes us to another level...and the instumental part, WOW, magical, epic really.....

[@lorenzosarli2310]

Amazing performance! Wow, and Dave playing a Les Paul! :D

[@irenecentille5156]

I have to say that the "Red and the Black" is my favorite song from "The Book of Souls". Seeing it performed live on April 6th in Chicago was incredible!!! Haven't missed a tour since 1982!!! Met them in 1988. UP-THE-IRONS!!!!

[@sparkleninja370]

irene centille ... "The Red and the Black" has earned its rightful place next to the "holy trinity" of Maiden epics: 1) "Hallowed Be Thy Name" 2) "Phantom of the Opera" 3) "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" A stunningly and perfectly executed masterpiece.

[@maiden2314]

Watching this video is like watching Led Zeppelin to the Nth power. Three master guitarists, a master drummer and the linchpin master bassist Steve Harris. Still together in 2024. Long live Iron Maiden and their fans.

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Iron Maiden to the extrem !! So spellbinding, addictive, wild, punchy, thrilling and downright Maidenous.....THIS is metal, the spirit, the talent, the real deal.....No one even comes close to their supremecy !!!

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

IRON MAIDEN, THE TOTAL KNOCKOUT....Theese astonishing guys still are so wild, raw and punchy...And what a fantastic performance of this joyful masterpiece....their charisma and stage presence are out of this world....The true masters of music, any genre, any era, any time......PRICELESS....

[@mosqueirofiel]

IRON MAIDEN = MY LIFE!!!

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Paulo, mine too 100 % addicted...........I SIMPLY LOVE THEM TO BITS..............

[@penttikeinonen7055]

This performance showed again that Iron Maiden IS forever and bruce's cancer didn't do anything to her and the hole band is rocking like in the 80's! UP THE FUCKING IRONS! Can't wait for the next tour! The best heavy band in this world! Have no more words to say!

[@TheEternalWayfarer]

The instrumental section blew me away when I heard it live.

[@vernonmahabal9109]

THIS UNIVERSE’S BEST METAL BAND.

[@MrDantres]

Iron Maiden - GOAT, period!

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

A DEMONIC, addictive masterpiece, a jewel in their discography in its own right, and if ANYONE ever left a legacy, it will be thr true metal ICONS Iron Maiden, comparable to none, absolutely none !!!

[@wkr64691]

best performance of this song yet by the whole band

[@solopipe209]

yep

[@wkr64691]

+Ben Jacox I'm sorry but your comment doesn't make sense to me. it can't be a better performance because it's the same song, but they were better in Toronto?

[@jasongallant5946]

wow man did they ever nail this song this time .....3 more days till toronto up the irons wooookk

[@mikerizzo9808]

Saw them x2 on this tour -- Vegas and Los Angeles -- Up the IRONS!!!!

[@MrCapone1996]

Nice! I hope they keep touring so when i start working I would do the same thing

[@swedeman5785]

Dave is in very good mood :-) Adrian is full concentrated on playing.

[@maidenmovies]

best band ever!… MAIDEEEEEEN!!!!

[@unrealxxx]

Janick dance always the best part.

[@evanspicolo6493]

What energy!

[@brianslick6772]

awsome videos..thanks for sharing

[@ROADSTAR728]

Maiden does and composes what they do. Just like everyone else. Obviously Musicians are influenced by what they see, hear, and read just like everyone else. They might be guilty of sounding like something else on RARE occasions, but the VAST majority of the time, they sound like themselves. I can't think of too many other Bands which stay off drugs, don't get into trouble, appreciate their fans after 40 years like it was yesterday, compose intricate songs with multiple time changes, compose lyrics which teach Philosophy, Religion, Politics, Science Fiction, War, History, and Theology, spend NO time trashing other bands, do interviews, get involved with Charity work and Fund-Raising events, raised children, stay grounded in what they believe in, and fly around the World in their own 747 piloted by their own Frontman. Nope. I can't think of any other band who does all these things, and remain cool people. Up The Irons.

[@galaxybeing6771]

i AGREE !!!

[@phatgame1460]

That's why they have an A+ fanbase

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

DAVE GALLOWAY, I agree completely, I can´t understand how it´s possible to create music from beyond music, and the lyrics, WOW.......NO WONDER I LOVE THEM TO BITS.........

[@sparkleninja370]

The only band that I could think of was Fates Warning ... except for the 747 jet part 😂😂😂

[@LORDBYRONII]

Right!!!

[@chizzer666]

Live keyboards sounds amazing on this,better then any of the bootlegs so far

[@solarmaxximum7052]

AWESOME......MAN!!

[@hawkins0811]

🤘🏻🤘🏻UP THE IRONS🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

I ARRIVED TO NEW YORK 9 DAYS TOO LATE......I´ve tried to get a ticket to anywhere in UK 2017, but uou know what.......THEY ARE ALL SOLD OUT.......I´M HEARTBROKEN...........

[@leviathandacri]

i was there!!!! killer show at the garden!!!! without covid 19

[@lori5455]

Bruce Dickerson....lead singer Iron Maiden.......Pilot for custom Boeing757 Ed Con One Book of Souls Tour Ride Check out that plane!!!

[@r.l.jackson6252]

I was there and THEY RULE!

[@jorgeaureliosf8090]

Theese guitar riffs remind me a little of the song Genghis Khan from the album Killers :P I Love it, great album, amazing song, 'Tears of a clown' is superb.

[@wkr64691]

great seeing janick just loving life around 5:20. I agree that he needs to tone down some of his weirder on stage habits but at his best he brings a fantastic energy to the performances.

[@jesusguerra1093]

+wkr64691 Janick is tha man, so many great songs he has written for maiden, most notably on this album is title track, amazing job on that one and my personal favorite, janick's songs are the real deal man, dance of death, lord of the flies, dream of mirrors, the aftermath, and many many other just to name a few.

[@frankgradeenofficial]

lol it looked ridicolous but i would probaly do weird stage moves if i was preforming on a stage

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Jesus, you forgot my favourites, Ghost of the navigator and the Talisman......

[@wkr64691]

susanne williamsson the legacy, montsegur, out of the silent planet, the alchemist. while he may not write as much as Bruce, Steve, and Adrian, his compositions always bring something unique and energetic to the table. the crap he takes from some "fans" is shameful

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

wkr64691 I couldn´t agree more, I can´t understand why they are so dead set against him...I really think their music since the album Brave new world has improved so much....And I think Jannick has contributed tremendously...Their songs has been so much more intricate, complexed, and really gorgeous......

[@Zvosab]

See you in Split, CRO! Up the Irons everywhere!

[@Beco96]

Još samo 2 mjeseca :D Pozz iz ZG :D

[@kitomir9962]

kako bilo?

[@Beco96]

Fantastično, imaš hrpu videa na mom kanalu :D \m/

[@kitomir9962]

Marko Becić uff pogledat cu to jako sam htio otici ali uvijek me nesto sprijeci

[@Beco96]

samo gledaj i uživaj, ima mislim 10 pjesama.. :) jbg... to se meni dogodilo pred Metallicu 2010, imal sam karte i sve... :/

[@stephanebedard9355]

I was so fucking there :-)

[@stevebelville6758]

Steve FUCKING Harissssss

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

He always says " iron maiden is my religion " I would like to say the same about him.......

[@r.l.jackson6252]

Steve Belville Exactly! The man who wrote the song and started the band. A God amongst mortals.

[@tykemonster6416]

He is the man. He is Iron Maiden

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

Tyke Monster ultimate truth !!!

[@ysanch0504]

I was there ^_^ I should up load my video

[@marcelosabinodefreitasneve6149]

Steve Harris is ultraman with is song

[@irenecentille5156]

"The Boss" never ceases to amaze me!!! UP-THE-IRONS FOREVER!!!! I was at the April 6th show in Chicago and it was incredible.

[@johannesparkkinen5498]

Do you have the powerslave and hallowed be thy name? Thanks for uploading these masterpieces! \m/up the irons\m/

[@coolcatrick3454]

This song has been my favorite on TBOS album, but i am warming up to Empire of the Clouds. I wish they would do that song live. Look at how porky Dave Murray looks! He used to be so thin! The performance of this song was amazing, as usual. Did Bruce flip the bird to someone at around 5:21? Funny!

[@arvaakuka8568]

Just came from Maidens concert... In my opinion this is the best song they played live. The live version worked much better than studio

[@ImpostorModanica]

1:02 Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter!

[@dschamber7190]

I noticed that Dave and Janick are plugged in rather than going wireless, I wonder why? Steve and Adrian are using wireless rigs though...

[@folladordeprostis]

Reminds me rime of the ancient mariner

[@downshifter2730]

folladordeprostis... But much worse.

[@folladordeprostis]

@@downshifter2730 ?

[@AgentFour]

Sounds like there was popping from the drum mix for the whole song. Stick on drum rim?

[@brentbowman4498]

Anyone know when the book of souls live album/DVD is coming out? I mean... They've done one for every other album since brave new world

[@HeyTray1]

They didn't do one for A Matter of Life and Death

[@Sam-ei2qh]

Flight 666 came out in 2009, so they technically did do one for A Matter of Life and Death

[@mattmorgan3862]

So far they haven't announced any plans for one.

[@HeyTray1]

Sam \m/ Nope. That was for the first leg of the Somewhere Back in Time Tour in 2008. 2 years after the A Matter of Life and Death tour :)

[@susannewilliamsson8339]

HeyTray1 no they didn´t, they got the material but they never released it, major mistake.....that had really been the most precious of them all...

[@AdamYoudell]

I wonder what pickups Davey has in that thing

[@watvat8]

Most likely super distortion on the bridge and paf on the neck

[@mylovesongs2429]

just once, i'd like to see Dave at the right of the stage, and Janick in the middle, and Adrian at the left. Just to be different. to break up the monotony.

[@ThiagoOliveira-ry7ud]

why Janick is always away from other?

[@jimpowers10411]

Maiden stole the riff guitar at the very beginning and very end of the song from the Breaking Bad Tv show.

[@TheChipwich]

Jim Powers Doesn't sound anything like it

[@MartinKincl1993]

Are you drunk?

[@Sk8HELIPOP]

The Breaking Bad theme sounds more like 'In My Time Of Dying' by Led Zeppelin.

[@ROADSTAR728]

What have you done to contribute to the World of Music Jim ?

[@gatorgirrrl]

Why are people talking? Iron Maiden is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!

[@lordgeoffrey78]

i wish bruce would stop interrupting the songs by screaming , no need for it wait for the song to finish

[@JohnDoe-vf2yo]

This sounds nothing like the Blue Öyster Cult. 🤔

[@jimusgrimus]

Steve aint a bad bassist.............but he will never be a Squire, Entwhistle or Geddy Lee..........

[@daivaomurray]

Steve harris ta pouco se fudendo pra esses caras,sim são tecnicamente melhor do que ele e dai? Ele só tem a maior banda de heavy metal de todos o tempos...COLOCA NA BALANÇA A TECNICA DESSES BAIXISTAS E A HISTORIA DELE NO HEAVY METAL E VEJA O QUE É MELHOR...sabe de bosta nenhuma...

[@Lopez-my1bo]

Steve is a better song writer

[@folladordeprostis]

They should play at Madison again!!!
