Iron Maiden - Stranger In A Strange Land Live New York 1999

[coleb10]

One of my favorites. The composition of the song and the quality of the musicians is outstanding as always. This tune freakin' kills! I saw Maiden several times back in the 80's and I will never get tired of them. Havent been able to see them on their most recent outing but I hope to catch the next one.

adrian should play it . it would be a good way to remember the good times with the ole man.

[rufus566]

I saw the show that Adrian missed because of his fathers funeral. This was a good tour though.

YEAHHHHHH!! Up the Irons!!

My first Iron Maiden concert July 16th 1999

[RigoStar]

@cjf799 me was on July 20th 1999! :D

[Maidenize666]

wish i could c janick also playing this song ...........Y the hell don't they play it now......... Love IRON MAIDEN to the core. !!!!!!!!!!

[Xiolablu3]

@Maidenize666 I think it was Adrians fathers favourite song, so they retired it in honour of him. Possibly is caused Adrian pain to play it??

[Feint10]

Fuck, this song is just too amazing. Insane bass, fantastic drumming, great guitar solo, what more could you get? Bruce is there too. And hell, this song totally kicks ass live too. They really have to roll another world tour similar to Somewhere Back In Time. One that focuses on the second half of the 80's and their less played tracks. Too many amazing songs(Seventh Son, most of No Prayer and Fear of the Dark albums, Killers) are not played live :(

[joker0418]

is there any way i could get this entire show?

[jozefthedick]

@joker0418: I'll private message you.

I really love this song. Played too rarely. True classic. And Adrian's solo is awesome. Pure greatness. One of the best maiden solos. Period. Solo reminds a little bit of powerslave's solo. I mean that the structure of those two solos are quite similar. First quite long and slow but beautiful melodic part and then lightning fast end. =D

[TheUndertakeer]

@rautaneitofani88 Personally I think that it reminds of the Powerslave solo because of Steve Harris' bass lines. Beautiful solo nonetheless

[dm15t]

First album I bought with paper round money all those years ago (SWIT)I learnt the guitar solo too. Really appreciate you sharing this rarity with us jozefthedick!

[dm15t]

Thank god for H. Wish this was played in the last tour with Infinite Dreams. Maybe one day.....

[jozefthedick]

They won't play it again, trust me.

[1134cc]

Why not?????

[jozefthedick]

Because Adrian's father passed away not long after this concert. While he was away at the funeral, they took this song off the setlist, and they ended up not playing it anymore, because Adrian felt that it was special to his father, so they retired the song for good.

[gostillerz]

I saw them in 95 or 96 with Fear Factory

[iuricastro22]

UP THE IRONS!

[mikelilloillo]

How can I get this entire show?

[jozefthedick]

I'll message you.

[xelanoise]

How can I also get the entire show...

[jozefthedick]

I'll message you also.

[davemurray16]

this is faster than on the studio album :O

[xelanoise]

I was at this epic show! During the intro of this track Bruce would toss up the mic stand and clap his hands to the drum beat just like in the video for this song...I almost cried and shit myself! Adrian is god! Up the Irons!!!

[Jitpring]

I saw them at Long Beach Arena in 1989 with Anthrax.

[System777]

I saw them in Irvine, CA in 2008 with Anthrax.

Hammerstein Ballroom July 16th 1999

[TrEnDkiLLgr]

great bass sound .STEVE HARRIS IS FUCKING LEGEND

[maiden666lmds73]

q temazo..... somewhere in time uno de los mejores cd de la historia

[strings74]

I was at this show and remember it like it was yesterday. God, I need to find the boot of this. Can't believe it's been ten years!

[cjf799]

This was the 1st time I saw Maiden July 16th 1999 NYC ..I was in tears

[starionpatrol]

That's a good first show to catch, man.. I'd love to see them so soon after the reunion. And the set list was awesome, especially because of this song. The most recent tour they did was arguably the strongest in terms of set lists, but this song puts the ed hunter tour right up there. If they could play this, caught somewhere in time and seventh son on one more tour before they quit, then they've really done everything I could ask for as a fan.. ok, they could relearn Alexander the great too :p

[baal0001]

hi, where can i get this picture of them?

[jozefthedick]

I'll send it to you tomorrow.

[GonzoUSD]

one of the greatist songs of maiden..

greetz from germany

[Summerganon]

This is so rare.. And so lovely :D

Adrian's guitar solo sounds amazing.. I hope they will play this song before they put the end for their career..
