What Made IRON MAIDEN 'Maiden Japan' Live E.P. So Special? w/ Guitarist Nick Bowcott Grim Reaper

[@TheSonnyfaiz]

This is great work Jimmy- you have been on top of it all and RIP Paul DiAnno. I have a live feed tonight and tribute on 30 Nov next Friday

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I have a bootleg cd of a different show that has the whole show and it is amazing. It is my favorite Iron Maiden live album. The Paul Dianno era is extremely special! Those first two albums are MASTERPIECES!

Maiden Japan it`s so great that EP

[@BrianBergen-hp6uy]

Great conversation

[@MetalAsylumNJ]

What would make it even better yet is if Maiden officially released it the full show, and if any video exists. The audio definitely could use remixing. And includes the alternate cover.

[@XGRIMYONEX]

There is a good quality bootleg I heard it’s a fm broadcast of the entire show.

Great interview Jimmy, Jeez Nick is great value, watched heaps of his vids, and he's bang on point about the album (and the band) being lightning in a bottle, and them being captured just as they were with that hunger and energy and the changing of the guard so to speak. Is it too bold to suggest that Steve Harris should be up for OBE for what he has done with Maiden , and Englands contributions to Metal around the world in general?..I think not. cheers mate.

the full japan show everyone talks about on youtube is from a different show than the performances on maiden japan. recorded for japanese radio (not sure if it was ever broadcast, though)

[@esteeb67]

Paul Di'Anno was special, and he and Maiden had a chemistry that made them stand a head above the rest of the NWOBHM scene. It's undeniable. We need more live music from this era.

Great record!

I have the shirt and the full concert on CD. So I have the Tokyo show.

[@folden2008]

great video Jimmy,such a classic album

[@danzemacabre8899]

I have a Maiden Japan version which is the full set ,17 songs ,distributed by NWOBHM records, it certainly looks and sounds professional with the same artwork and booklet ,the sound is great, 17 tracks, it can be found online , Maidens biggest advantage over the rest of the MWOBHM bands was a far superior rhythm section steve and Clive, none of the other bands could touch those two ...maybe diamond head but not consistently, that rhythm section gave Maiden a more complicated sound and made.them sound ahead of their time

[@cbr9914]

this show is from a different night. not the same performances as on the maiden japan ep. it was recorded by japanese radio for a broadcast

[@tomitoikka367]

That's one of my all-time favorite live albums 🤘😎👍

[@AdrianJeffreys-fj2fv]
