    The note he holds on the ‘Running looooooooowwwwww
. I forget, but I’m sure someone will correct me, I believe he holds that note for around 28 seconds.
    Hammersmith is nearly identical to the studio
 but with the added energy of a he insane love audience. This is absolutely one of the quintessential Heavy Metal songs ever. All true metal fans will have this in their top 10.

    Great reaction!!! This is a so so version of this song in my opinion. The one in Hammersmith in 1982 IS the version to check out. You have now opened the door to the greatest band ever without any media or radio support. Check out Aces High, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Run to the Hills, Powerslave, Paschendale, Alexander the Great, The Clansman, Dance of Death and Fear of the Dark, to start.... Live if possible, and the best crowds are usually in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The 2001 Rock in Rio and EnVivo concert are legendary.

It's because the story is about a convict who is being led to his death and before they execute him, he cried out to the heavens and cried "Hallowed be Thy Name". He's crying out for forgiveness.

    My 1st concert ever....Iron Maiden, Dallas, TX 1983. 102 degrees outside waiting 3 hours, didn't care...the venue was actually small....I 14 yrs. old....row 7. It was so EPIC that I got chills!!! 102 degrees went out the window....I got the chills for realz! They are the Gold Standard for anything that came after, and they still are. That building (the Dallas convention Center) was demoed after this, then came Dallas Reunion Areana, that's been demoed, now it's the American Airlines Center...where the Mav's Basket ball team plays. After seeing the hundreds of thousands that attend their shows...I cannot believe how small that venue was...the floor vibrated the whole time that you felt it for days...what was Dallas thinking? This band need an outdoor military base for sure...it was crazy Epic.

    Well, let me congratulate you for appreciating Iron Maiden for their music. I've been a fan since 1988 but I always love seeing people get their first taste of them and getting blown away by them. The band knows what it's really about, not the money, the fame, the women or the ego. It's about the fans, the people that spend their hard earned money to buy their albums and go see them live. It's a lesson that many performers seem to have forgot about.

    Also, listen to the studio mix. While you lose the amazing energy of the live show but so good. But the Rock in Rio of this is amazing too. Flight 666 Bruce flew the 747 for the tour. Well several tours.

A Maiden show is not just a concert it's an event. This is a band whose fan base includes the grandchildren of long-time fans and they're still going strong as I write this. A truly special band for over 40 years. And they pack the house everywhere they go on tour with their own 747 which the singer flies himself.
