Iron Maiden - 22 Acacia Avenue [Dortmund, 1983]

[punishmentforall]

More bass please! Couldn't hear Steve's playing very well - but Iron Maiden is excellent live. And the crowd! Wow. O.O

[upTheIrons1231000]

The best perfomance ever!!!!:D

[Chardo1986]

Fuck ya fuck ya!

[wingmannj]

no tattoos on steve's arms yet... f'ing amazing, awesome, the greatest band in the history of the universe...

[elcaminodelrey]

All u Maiden fans, off cours u know this.

[elcaminodelrey]

This is from the nightshow live at Düsseldorf 1983, probably one of the best Maiden Live-shows off all time.This is incredible good. Listen to ''The Trooper'' at this stage. SO GREAT. And off course ar the off. video.

[henriqueferreira2009]

Look the stage scene, is very likely the actual Maiden Stage!

[seamonster327]

Fuck yeah!! It's impossible to listen to this song without banging your head!

[renumeratedfrog]

epic... so fucking epic... 30 years later and bands are still trying to imitate those fuckers...

[Martin21shred]

Adrian Smith!



[bd0g5]

damn bruce was jacked

[SinBinSportsNY]

6 people went to 23 Acacia Avenue instead....

[shytownmofo]

@SinBinSportsNY

Nah. They went to Number 22, but they didn't have the 15 Quid. So they got their asses booted. Charlotte don't play that.

[richardsdead]

I never see anything by Metallica et al that ever quite soars like the mighty classic Maiden do here in their finest hours. Just observationally speaking! Love my metal in general, just noticed the crowd here going wild with the music in a way I never see anywhere else. Maybe I am mistaken!

[fortheloveoftunes]

Those were the days!

[MegaDogwater]

I just happened to see then in Canada earlier this year

[Cyphilus]

JUDAS PRIEST, but fuck... Bruce can sing. Man I'm confused! WHO'S GREATER. THE HARLOT WHORE OR THE TRIATOR PRIEST?

[TheM42bmw]

good times...

[TekuelaII]

Epic moment 0:20 ... Dickinson hits the air, audiencie and musicians handbang, all before the metal drops

[ricardoleony]

best band in the best era

[jfgirard14]

Great audio on this one!

[AwsomeDMan]

I wish i could go back in time to when the fashion was great, Long hair was considered normal and great music was everywhere. Fuck my generation :(

[ThePowerslave94]

@AwsomeDMan i know exactly what u mean. i go into school wearing badass cowboy boots, ripped jeans, maiden sabbath or blue cheer shirt, demin jacket and thats considered weird I go to a fucking performing arts school (laguardia). i dont really care tho because my band and i have long hair dress funny and play very loud inside school. we even made some people that go to the school for music leave the area(either we were too loud or too good)either way that made me happy (some people even watched

[bunnyrocks69]

@AwsomeDMan was fun back then- everyone did there own thing - alot of experimenting ... seems like if your young nowadays your into rap-lol,,, i got over the rhyming crap in kindergarden lol gets old

[manowar8899]

YEAH U ROCK STEVE!!!

West Ham United FTW

[tonee727]

awesome audience, I'd give almost anything to be there!

[guins99]

UP the IRONS from Pittsburgh

[1976dabo]

I love Iron Maiden. As a young Kid i see it on the TV and than moren than 100 x on the Videoplayer from my Dad. Very good. Great Song.

[journeyman66]

MAiden at it´s best

[vedder1976]

yes...I´m really wrong!!!

[vedder1976]

I think i´m wrong...sorry

[vedder1976]

I think there´s something wrong, because this stage is from PEACE OF MIND TOUR, at 1987 (I think so) and 22 Acacia Avenue was released in 1984, at the number of the beast album

[BartSmith85]

@vedder1976 This concert is from 18.12.1983, it's the last of the World Piece Tour. "22 Acacia Avenue" is from The Number Of The Beast album from 1982. Cheers.

[vedder1976]

@BartSmith85 yes man...you´re right

[closelynibbledgrass]

In 500 years people will still be watching this upload and fuckin lovin it. Cheers Maiden, u changed my life as a kid during the 80's.

[metalonroad]

Holy TIMES, Holy SHIT !!! Great Metal forever !!! \m/

[ironbleepingmaiden]

that shit rules!

[MrEnzoski]

nice!!!!!

[malcolmX213]

The song seems more complete with Nicko on drums.

[pachor2]

That concert on Dourtmund was legendary, Ozzy, Def Leppard, scorpions, priest and iron maiden, daaamn that's what i call clash of the titans.

[maidenchick83]

Bruce looks so yummy

[Aldiotube]

Best maiden concert ever!!

[AlecGuedel1]

Iron Maiden and Eddie will live forever. Powerslave '85 Seattle Center Coliseum was an awesome show. I could still smoke weed at a concert back then:) Why do all you posers use fake names? Ashamed? You should be... cowards!

[pegasuslover97]

@AlecGuedel1 lucky asshole. i had to be born in 93. i have seen them twice though in the last 3 or 4 years

[AlecGuedel1]

@pegasuslover97 You're the lucky asshole. Your 18 - a kick ass age, and you get to listen to Maiden. The 80s were a good time to be a teenager though! :)

[pegasuslover97]

@AlecGuedel1 hahaha true. still, i'm sure it was much more kick ass to be a teenager in the 80's when maiden and priest owned the stage instead of like justin bieber and all that shit

[AlecGuedel1]

@pegasuslover97 you're right. the 80s were a good time to be a teenager.  I hate to rub it in but got to see Priest at the Screaming for Vengeance tour in Seattle '82 and Defenders of the Faith tour in Tacoma '84. However, I'm 42 now but still rock, play drums for a Maiden cover band, and work in a nightclub :) I still envy the young though! Rock on! be careful and be smart - pegasuslover97

[pegasuslover97]

@AlecGuedel1 weird dude that's kinda around where i'm at. i'm seeing ozzy at the tacoma dome in february. i saw maiden twice and queensryche all at the white river ampitheatre in auburn. haha it sounds like you're still having a pretty good time then. hope things keep going good and up the irons!

[glinsboeckel]

I was at the show December 3rd in Würzburg! Best show ever ... was also my first concert ever back then!

[TheFreedomrock]

4:38 is metal zen.

[gilsonmetal1]

...meet a lady that I know...if you're looking for good time...UP THE IRONS FROM BRAZIL!

[r1chie311music]

Me and my friend get drunk as fuck and play this as a warm up song :D so fucking elite

[magicmixable]

True sounding of metal, at it's finest!! Up The Irons!!

[magicmixable]

True sounding o' metal's finest moment!! Up the Irons!!

[AwsomeDMan]

i woud never gte away with wearing red spandex and a potato sack these days -.-

[4Barres4]

Their golden age!! Up the Irons!

[maofas]

Bruce can still sing great, but holy fuck when he was young...

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

@maofas some songs he sings them better than the old years

[stelbITZILEKIS]

i am a greek but i am in germany too.if you where there you must be old enought.i would give anything to be there

[666TheIronMaiden666]

Great song ! Heavy Metal forever !

How about this GREAT HEAVY METAL NEWCOMER BAND ?

they keep the spirit of true metal alive !

youtube.com/watch?v=Yom9BJkPRn­Y

listen to it, enjoy and comment on their song if you want

i really like it !!!

[Bassbait]

My favorite bands are the ones who are fair to their members. Bands suck when the bassist is invisible (Metallica), or when the drummer doesn't get any freedom, or when only one guitarist is soloing. I prefer bands with even usage of it's members, such as Iron Maiden, and Death, and Megadeth too for that matter.

[brooooos9094]

@Bassbait cliff burton wasnt invisible ahaha

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@Bassbait cliff burton and jason newsted were far from invisible, however i wish robert was, i hate that ape

[QuorthonVikingKing]

In this live show was filmed The Trooper video?

[guins99]

UP THE IRONS FROM PITTSBURGH

[Bunnyontherocks]

@guins99:AND UP THE IRONS FROM PITTSBURG, CA. ;D

[Pickledjoethe2nd]

I picked up the DVD of this show off of ebay a few years ago...Maiden, Priest, Scorps, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, and a few other bands I can't think of...incredible stuff...Metal was at it's peak then and hadn't been taking over my pop and Thrash.

[TheLordMaiden]

Has been and always will be my favorite live version of this song. I wouldn't shower for the rest of my life if I was that guy in the front row.

[RUKEAL]

I remember when I first saw that picture of them in the desert next to spacecrafts - it felt like they really were this band who had arrived from another world!! Back then they were immortal.

[MrRobham01]

i was there would the same

[33COOLMAN33]

Wow look at Steve´s fingers, fast

[professorchaos1963]

Thats the place where we all go!!!

[toxicwaltz89]

THIS SHOULD BE IN THE NEW SETLIST!!!

[ericou812]

bring back the old maiden to concerts,if bruce was in perfect prime he could do like ...killers just as good as paul.he doesnt have it for that song,but bruce is maiden after paul.

[Andytheheavy]

@ericou812 paul is pure shit man xDxDxD

[jfito2]

Temazo!

[Gopherpuck1]

Wow just wow, these guys rock! Up the Irons

[ericou812]

awesome classic maiden song!!! there the best!!!

wheres 22 Acacia Avenue anyways?

[AlecGuedel1]

The 22 Acacia Avenue I remember was on my way to work in New Zealand. I think the song is about Charlotte's address in London though. Rock on Eric

[ricardoleony]

one of the best performances ever

[rondo92568]

the iron beast always kick fucking ass

[Uptheironsserbia666]

Ahhhhh on my birthday :D

Amazing performance, the best of this song, in my opinion...

UP THE IRONS!

[portugaljoao7]

22 acacia avenue

[fabiannihilator]

Best band ever, Period.

[bassistdave109]

22 the avenue!!!

[IronMaidenBanjaLuka]

i always enjoy to look how Steve rape a fucking bass!!!!!!

[ltdTdk]

I like this sound, i don't know reason, but here and on "The Prisoner" sound is more heavy. It's ibanez destroyer, mb amps which they don't use now... Anyway, here is more heavy sound than now.

[gba67]

1984 for me.

[AlecGuedel1]

1984. 22 is on Number - 1983

[Slayeroid]

here's to my good old 1988 when i first heard this song.

[SonOfBoromir]

2005 for me :P

[Mrcrazyfede93]

one of my favourite song :)...beatiful and nice to play :D

[godawefulll]

I would give both my nuts to go back in time to be front row here!!!!;)

[sylter38]

i was ... believe me ...it was worth both nuts! cheers from germany.

[AlecGuedel1]

@sylter38 sorry about your nuts :( I got to see them in Seattle in '85 and still have mine! cheers from Seattle.

[twoo57]

@sylter38 Who all played that day? I know it was Def Leppard, Ozzy, Maiden, Judas Priest, and I think Dio??

[bitch21witch]

@twoo57

I have the DVD ! Michael Schanker Group and Krokus played there.

Dio is not on the DVD.

[twoo57]

@bitch21witch dude, please tell me how to get the dvd.. I'll buy it from you if I have too.

[bitch21witch]

@twoo57

Oh, I'm sorry, The DVD I have is not original, I got it with the help from somebody who made a download in the web.

[rpcarnell]

@godawefulll I'd warn the world about grundge and reggaeton in the process.

[FSProjekt]

@godawefulll me too

[illapint]

holy shi'at will you look at that bass plucking by Steve at 5:52

[adamthedead]

i thought they had a pussy on this song xD

[StGeorge666]

i was living in Germany when this was aired in 1984, it was a repeat, i recorded it and still have the whole concert on tape..Scorpions followed after Maiden..this performance is one of my fav Maiden concerts ever! UP THE IRONS!!!!!

[GFGFGSRES8]

Amazing... ;)

[columnofsmoke]

luv'm flowers smell, ty pacific...

for nver forgetting

[Estranged1337]

Maiden in their prime there's nothing better

[brianmaidenfan]

I disagree. Been a fan since 1985 and IMO their live performances have never been better than the last decade. Bruce was really hit or miss in the 80's. I love his voice on the 80's records but his live performances were very inconsistent. His voice for the last six to ten years has been consistent and far more reliable than "The Early Days." Watch RIR or DOTR or the bootlegs of proshot Euro and Scandanavian gigs such as Rock am Ring and Ullevi. Cheers.

[brianmaidenfan]

This was supposed to be a response to "Estranged1337 " but it did not appear to post that way.

[jesusian7]

I agree

[jesusian7]

haah sorry this is what io agree to.

[dario270490]

This was at Pink Pop festival. In the same night played there:

Maiden

[ricardoleony]

great performance...

[Caficherprice]

[Attalasthegreat]

0:057 what does Bruce mouth?

[megadeth773]

waiting for a long time and he looks at where a watch would be

[animebondagfan]

so what his voice may have gone down some what but some think its differnt I think it stronger but thats just me...

this is one of the best songs off the number of the beast cd

[BruceBeast]

Einer meiner Lieblingslieder von Maiden..

wie ein rausch...

[containslead]

wow Bruce's voice is already going....i didn't realize it happened that quick

[firstinflight83]

what are you talking about? this is the best he ever done this song live

[DarkestBlackMetal]

going?

no mannumber of the beast tour: wasn't bad but some songs were kind a false BOOM 1 year later Piece of mind tour fucking perfect and after that his voice only became better ok live after death his voice is a little gone but what do you want man on the road for 13 months performing nearly every night plus that Live After Death are from the last couple of shows

[melizavazquez]
