I adore this song. It's amazing. I've got goooing be strong! Must be so determined and push myself on!! Gah, I feel like such a loser putting the lyrics.
Is there a specific reason why Somewhere In Time is the "forgotten" album? It seems like a huge marker for them creatively. Sea Of Madness and Caught Somewhere In Time were vicious tracks. Adrian really proved himself as a lyricist as well.
@bdogg38128 It's more than likely because both the Somewhere In Time & Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son albums were the short lived "experimental" era. As after these 2 albums, Steve Harris wanted and changed the band's sound in 1990 to a more "back to basics" theme. The Seventh Son album was more commercially sucessful than Somewhere In Time too. Bruce has stated before as well that he hates singing Caught Somewhere In Time :(
Oh my fucking god, this is amazing, one of the best and most underrated Maiden´s songs, don´t realy know why they don´t or didn´t played this masterpiece more times, but it would be awesome to see them performing it just once¡¡¡.
Thanks for sharing this, this is funcking heavy metal ando fuck the rest ¡¡¡¡

Oh fuck what a masterpiece, this album is really classic, too bad they didn't play this song in this tour again or in somewhere back in time tour. I have to thank you mate for uploading this video.
@t4sos1234 Your welcome! From what I have gathered though, they only played this song for the first 2 gigs of the tour and this is the only show that was recorded where the song is played! :(
@LEK7686 My mistake actually, this song was only infact played live once - at this show. Therefore, this is the only live version of this song playing by Maiden themselves in existance!
This is definitely one of the songs I missed in the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour, alone with Alexander the great, Déjà Vu and Infinite Dreams.
Perhaps those omissions were for the good, because after seeing a concert like that I don't see the point of going to see ANY other show by ANY other band!!
I hope however that they change their live repertoire from time to time replacing a few "live classics" (eg.: The Evil That Men Do, Iron Maiden, etc.) with some of these lost jewels.
@cristianfcao I would love for Maiden to play more songs from the Somewhere In Time album on their tours, but sadly it looks unlikely as the Somewhere In Time album is considered Maiden's "Forgotten" album from their 80's era as they only really play Heaven Can Wait mostly from that album and then on some tours Wasted years too :(
I know this song is awesome (one of the best duel guitar melodies) but playing it live it's killful! Not only for the guitars, but for the whole band! That's why I think they thrown it away from the songlist.
@BartSmith85 I think it's probably because this bootleg recording is not the best compared to others out there, that lets down this live version. I think if they kept this song on the setlist, at least throughout the European leg of the tour then we would of much appreciated this song more as it would of appeared on much better recorded bootlegs i.e. the Bristol Colston Hall show & the Sheffield shows. Search on YouTube for the Sheffield 1986 show then you will see how good the recording is.
@LEK7686 I've got both Sheffield shows on dvd, from 1st gen copies & only the first show was great. On the second Bruce has throat problems so his singing is far from good. Chicago '87, Paris '86 & Gothenburg '86 were also great. It's not the recording, but the song. That's why I think they didn't play it more. They have also gave up Sea Of Madness after the European leg, as it was also exhausting, but was probably more popular at the time (?). PS: I've got to watch the movie of the same title!
@BartSmith85 Yeah I've seen a couple of the videos of the Sheffield 2nd night gig on here as well. Another couple of favourite gigs from the 86-87 tour was the Bristol & Leicester gigs. The Bristol show, the band played absolutely fantastic and I think the Bristol show is generally considered the best bootleg from that tour. The Leicester bootleg, the quality is excellent (also on par with the Sheffield 1st night show). The only let down with the Bristol gig is the slightly lower quality.
UP THE IRONS fron Campinas/Brazil...Here we plays IRON MAIDEN with INFINITE DREAMS band...watch owr videos on youtube, please...magnozornchanel...thanks!!!!!
thanks a lot for this version, I remember steve harris saying in an interview in "Kerrang" magazine, that they had playing "the loneliness..." once on the 1986 tour, but they wern't happy so they dropped that off the set....it's really pity - they should try to play this now with the three guitarists
I` from Serbia and i`m proud they started they`re Somewhere in Time tour in Belgrade,i think it`s the only place they have played The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner!!!!!
I believe they played this song live for a grand total of one time,back in 1986 in Belgrade. next show they skipped it and played Wrathchild instead...
I believe they only played this live once which is a complete shame, by far one of their best off SIT. Also another shame they played rime again instead of adding alexander. It's a good thing they didn't make a live album out of this, wasn't worth it even though the stage set is fucking amazing lol.
My live whises are: To tame a land,Still life,Prodigal son,Deja vu,Only the Good die young,The Prophecy, Losfer words-Big orra, Flash of the blade, Distance Runner (or Caught SW in time),Infinite dreams, 7th son of, Nomad,Thin Line between love and hate, Out of the silent planet, Strange world, Sea of madness, Clansman, Out of the shadow, Paschendale and Blood brothers (for the end of the show)! ...ha ha too many to mention all..... by the way I follow maiden from 1985 and I saw them 8 times....
I'd also like to here from Maiden to play songs (never played live) instead of 666, Hills, Midnight etc. All old Maiden songs are classics!!! Alexander is probably most requested song and I still hope that they will play it live, I have a feeling that they will...They will quit in few years and for the end they will do something special, I know that. The new comming album is titled Final Frontier...and I think this will be their last studio album...And then will follow special live album!!!
LEK7686 thanks for this big rarity. I read all comments and I'd like to say hello to some true Maiden fans: TheTrooper9169666, Bertrand50120, krakoniks and especialy to cvelbx who was there (Pionir, Belgrade, 1986)
"The loneliness of a long distance runner exposes his soul of all his shortcomings. He confronts his conscience and continues to run for serenity and the mileage gives him courage to change."
Why this songs aren't recorded live? I mean Heaven Can Wait & Wasted Years are awesome but those ones are awesome too! Somwhere in time! What an awesome album! We want them live!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I said "recorded" live, like Rock in Rio etc. I'm in Greece and they come here few times... And one motherfucker stole Adrians guitar! I hope they will come again in Greece. Anyway...
@Kaste11 Caught Somewhere In Time,Stranger In A Strange Land and Sea of Madness were recorded live,you can find them here on youtube.Most of them were played in Paris 1987...
Wow what a pleasure to hear this awesome song live! I think it's time for an online petition to get Maiden to play this one and a few other rarities on their next tour.
They should just do a medley of all the regular songs and this way safe some time for songs that rarely or never get played life. Maybe they should even let the fans decide a few songs for the set like for the reunion in 1999. I bet quite a few rarely played songs would make it on the set list...
seriously, maiden needs to drop songs like the trooper, run to the hills, the number of the beast and MAYBE fear of the dark and replace it with songs from this album and seventh son. maybe even flash of the blade (powerslave) if we get lucky. :D
next tour should be called, "songs never yet played live" where they play alexander, flash of the blade, etc.
You can't even hear Dickinson on some of the high parts. He sounds like he's constipated or something. There is NO shame. He's been doing it EVERY night for a LONG time. Don't get me wrong, he still sings well....
But honestly....he's passed his prime. HE would tell you that too.
he's much more consistent when he sings live than he was back in the day. and his tone is much richer. i'm surprised; every time i watch a youtube video with bruce in it, everyone comments on how much they like him better now than before.
i understand why you think he was better in the day, but it's really just preference. i found his younger voice, although amazing and better than pretty much anyone else, a bit out of control. he has much better control now.
Well what the hell do you expect?? its from a bootleg! Not exactly a mastered release is it? Go read up on what Bootlegs are before posting stupid comments.
Not really a fact is it? Why would I want to to take this video down?? 32,000+ video views from Maiden fans and still growing, I wanted to share a piece of rare Iron Maiden history, if you do not like it (well you seem the only moron who doesnt) then you know where to close the browser window.
@LEK7686 Don't take it down! I love that it is up here; this song is very special to me. Very close to my heart, a source of strength and inspiration when I'm working out or just when I've got my own "long distance running" to do in life.
And it is just a beautiful, awesome, powerful song from the greatest rock band of them all. I've wanted to hear it live for so long. Thank you.
IMO, Maiden is the greatest rock band of all time. But, not everyone has to agree with me. There are many great rock bands. In my book, Maiden is the greatest. Powerful, inspiring, philosophical...they have songs that are as uplifting as Stan Bush or Survivor, songs that are dark and melancholy, songs that are intense and aggressive...songs that search deep into the relation with man his Creator, religious songs, love songs, historical songs...sometimes songs weave all of that together into one.
@kforcer I love this song, too. In fact, I kind of consider it the most sorely underrated song of theirs, and the way it exudes such ferocious determination really fires me up in a similar manner as it does you.
lets hear your world output album, i bet you suck. in this day and age - irons gonna kick your ass all over back and forth, on and on. so nag to your mirror and in your head.
Exactly as you said. I would prefer pretty much anything from Somewhere in Time and 7th Son of a 7th Son (except the ones they already play, Heaven can wait and Can I play with madness which are the weakest songs ine each album imo) over Run to the hills, Number of the beast or Trooper any day of the week.
I totally agree i would much prefer to hear this song and many others from this album and others that havent made it into the setlist since them days,and gladly trade them in for the ones that are expected to be played each show.
Nearly 25,000 video views in just over a year of this video! I'd like to thank everyone for there viewing contributiion on here & making sure that this very rare piece of live Iron Maiden history is kept alive! Keep viewing, commenting & rating Thanks all!
Caught Somewhere In Time, The Loneliness, Stranger in The Stranger Land, Deja Vu and lastly Alexander The Great. Why they didnt play all this song anymore???
Yeah, I wonder too why they don`t play this song more often! Best track of album "Somewhere in Time". They could`ve played more songs from SIT and SSOASS albums like this one, De Ja Vu, CSIT, Only the Good Die Young, Infinite Dreams.Or even occassionally in tours.
At the time the Band did not think it would be well receivd by the fans. But in more recent years the songs from the Somewhere In Time album (including this song) have became so much more popular with the fans & its still a shame that Maiden don't play these songs today.
For me, the best song of Iron Maiden , music and lyrics.
Why they didn't played this song during all the "Somewhere on tour '86"? My God, I wanted to saw it on live at Bercy, but no... it wasn't on the set-list!
Dude, awesome! Someone else who likes running. Personally I use this song commonly for the finish; I don't know why, but the second verse, the one after the solo, just drives me to run as fast as I can and beat anyone in my immediate area.
Now, I'M pumped for running; jeez. Up the irons, guys!
OK,I have information that Maidens played this song only in Belgrade 85,or 86,if anyone has info that this is not true,pls reply to me,but only if you are 100 percent sure...
The song was dropped after a few gigs and was then replaced by 'Sea Of Madness' and when 'Sea Of Madness' came in this setlist, Maiden replaced it later with 'Where Eagles Dare'
Sea of Madness still remained in the setlist throughout the tour even after Where Eagles Dare came into the Setlist, Sea Of Madness was the 3rd song on the setlist for the "Somewhere On Tour 86-87" and Where Eagles Dare was the first song for the second part of the shows on the tour.
Im sure they did play deja vu, I was there, on one of the Newcastle dates back in '86 It wasnt part if the set list and I dont know why they changed it, I only remember the song coz I bought the album shortly after. Sadly I cant prove it either way...theres no video footage of either Newcastle gig :-(
They never did play it unfortunately RoaryUK, I've listened to the bootleg of the Newcastle shows and sadly is does not have Deja Vu, You might be mistaken for the guitar solo by Dave Murray & Adrian Smith "Walking In The Air"?
I didn´t know that they played this song ever live. One of the best songs of that album. But unlikely they never played Alexander the great. The somewhere back in time tour would have been the chance to do that, but who knows why they didn´t.

But honestly....he's passed his prime. HE would tell you that too.

he's much more consistent when he sings live than he was back in the day. and his tone is much richer. i'm surprised; every time i watch a youtube video with bruce in it, everyone comments on how much they like him better now than before.
i understand why you think he was better in the day, but it's really just preference. i found his younger voice, although amazing and better than pretty much anyone else, a bit out of control. he has much better control now.

Well what the hell do you expect?? its from a bootleg! Not exactly a mastered release is it? Go read up on what Bootlegs are before posting stupid comments.
LEK7686 2 years ago
Not a stupid comment, just a fact. Don't get so butt-hurt.
ErikVKing 2 years ago
Not really a fact is it? Why would I want to to take this video down?? 32,000+ video views from Maiden fans and still growing, I wanted to share a piece of rare Iron Maiden history, if you do not like it (well you seem the only moron who doesnt) then you know where to close the browser window.
LEK7686 2 years ago 3
@LEK7686 Don't take it down! I love that it is up here; this song is very special to me. Very close to my heart, a source of strength and inspiration when I'm working out or just when I've got my own "long distance running" to do in life.
And it is just a beautiful, awesome, powerful song from the greatest rock band of them all. I've wanted to hear it live for so long. Thank you.

greates metal band, not rock...
yjmpgkl 2 years ago
IMO, Maiden is the greatest rock band of all time. But, not everyone has to agree with me. There are many great rock bands. In my book, Maiden is the greatest. Powerful, inspiring, philosophical...they have songs that are as uplifting as Stan Bush or Survivor, songs that are dark and melancholy, songs that are intense and aggressive...songs that search deep into the relation with man his Creator, religious songs, love songs, historical songs...sometimes songs weave all of that together into one.

kforcer - Don't worry I'm not taking this down :)
LEK7686 2 years ago
@kforcer I love this song, too. In fact, I kind of consider it the most sorely underrated song of theirs, and the way it exudes such ferocious determination really fires me up in a similar manner as it does you.

UP THE IRONS!
Summerganon 2 years ago 6
Exactly as you said. I would prefer pretty much anything from Somewhere in Time and 7th Son of a 7th Son (except the ones they already play, Heaven can wait and Can I play with madness which are the weakest songs ine each album imo) over Run to the hills, Number of the beast or Trooper any day of the week.
metalrules13 2 years ago
I totally agree i would much prefer to hear this song and many others from this album and others that havent made it into the setlist since them days,and gladly trade them in for the ones that are expected to be played each show.

Yeah, I wonder too why they don`t play this song more often! Best track of album "Somewhere in Time". They could`ve played more songs from SIT and SSOASS albums like this one, De Ja Vu, CSIT, Only the Good Die Young, Infinite Dreams.Or even occassionally in tours.
JUBEast 2 years ago 13
At the time the Band did not think it would be well receivd by the fans. But in more recent years the songs from the Somewhere In Time album (including this song) have became so much more popular with the fans & its still a shame that Maiden don't play these songs today.
LEK7686 2 years ago
I love this song and espiecially Deja Vu, way more than Wated Years!

For me, the best song of Iron Maiden , music and lyrics.
Why they didn't played this song during all the "Somewhere on tour '86"? My God, I wanted to saw it on live at Bercy, but no... it wasn't on the set-list!

Dude, awesome! Someone else who likes running. Personally I use this song commonly for the finish; I don't know why, but the second verse, the one after the solo, just drives me to run as fast as I can and beat anyone in my immediate area.
Now, I'M pumped for running; jeez. Up the irons, guys!

ironmaidenisgod 3 years ago 5
Just to be Technical about this awesome song...
The song was dropped after a few gigs and was then replaced by 'Sea Of Madness' and when 'Sea Of Madness' came in this setlist, Maiden replaced it later with 'Where Eagles Dare'
jozefthedick 3 years ago
Sea of Madness still remained in the setlist throughout the tour even after Where Eagles Dare came into the Setlist, Sea Of Madness was the 3rd song on the setlist for the "Somewhere On Tour 86-87" and Where Eagles Dare was the first song for the second part of the shows on the tour.
LEK7686 3 years ago
bastards! why did they dropped it??
one of maiden's best in my opinion..

They said it didn't flow with the rest of the songs on the setlist. Something like that.

ironmaidenisgod 3 years ago
Im sure they did play deja vu, I was there, on one of the Newcastle dates back in '86 It wasnt part if the set list and I dont know why they changed it, I only remember the song coz I bought the album shortly after. Sadly I cant prove it either way...theres no video footage of either Newcastle gig :-(
RoaryUK 2 years ago
They never did play it unfortunately RoaryUK, I've listened to the bootleg of the Newcastle shows and sadly is does not have Deja Vu, You might be mistaken for the guitar solo by Dave Murray & Adrian Smith "Walking In The Air"?
LEK7686 2 years ago
Ahhh ok fair enough... I was at the 1st Newcastle date BTW and would love to get hold of anything from that. Hope thats the gig you mean LEK7686!!!
RoaryUK 2 years ago
I didn´t know that they played this song ever live. One of the best songs of that album. But unlikely they never played Alexander the great. The somewhere back in time tour would have been the chance to do that, but who knows why they didn´t.
