09 - Iron Maiden - Phantom of the opera - Live '87

[EddiePrimm]

i think this is the best version i've heard, all except bruce's vocals. i wonder what happened to him during this period?

[JUBEast]

Yes i totally agree badreligion. In 80s Maiden was allways like "3 months in the studio, then 8-10 months tour and rest for a month then one month for writing the songs to the next album and then 3 months in the studio etc... Now they do like 4-6 months tours and rest a year.

Back then they toured alot more than they do now so Bruce's vocal chords didnt have as much time to recover from each show thats why it sounds strained at times .

[pilotoatomico]

shit, I didnt know they played this in 1987. Sounds awesome with the somewhere in time guitar tone

[garyandtony]

dude i so want what bruce wore for this tour its soo kool!

[Lundiez]

It seems like he lost all his abilities to hit the high notes on this tour

[dhmaiden]

yeah this was happening on the World Slavery Tour 1985 Somewhere On Tour 1986 and on the Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tour 1988 but now Bruce sounds fucking awesome same thing with the band seeing them actually live in person is just AMAZING!!! it sounds NOTHING like the videos

[MrMurray888]

true, but he wasn't feeling very well at this gig, I think he was sick

[ChillenMcGrillen93]

How do you know? I think he sounds about the same here as he did during World slavery -> Seventh son period
