I'm also a singer and am very aware of the difficulty behind this song. However, there are tremendously harder songs in Iron Maiden's repertoir which they still play live.
This is definitely THE underrated Maiden song. They never play it live but I would be so perfect if they did. Luckily my dad got to see it live in 1986 or 87 at Hammersmith
There is no song better to start a concert off with than this one. It's perfect. Taped intro if desired for that "crowd goes batshit" start when the band comes in full force, supremely singable, constant aggression... Just the perfect way to ignite the crowd from the first six minutes. They should still start their shows with it today. Instead it's been buried for 30 years now.
It's after watching videos like this, I wish I was a teenager during the 80's instead of late 90's. The golden age of the best metal bands, and no financial crisis!
AN OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE fom their incredible Somewhere in Time album....The album is unforgettable, incredible, gorgeous songs all the way through....and it´s a great shame they never recorded the show and released it as a DVD...THIS is a LEGACY worth holding on too....
AWESOME!!!! This camera man had no idea what was going on. Did he think Steve Harris was singing? Was he thinking Steve was playing Dave's solo? Was he thinking Dave was playing Adrian's solo?
Harris liked to be in the middle. Bruce often found it hard because he thought the lead singer should be in the middle but Harris was comfortable there too.
I live in a little town in PA between Pittsburgh and state college ! And in 1988 Iron Maiden came to my arena the total seat capacity in my arena is 2500 with about 300 on the floor and I was front row for this “ CAUGHT SOMEWHERE ON TOUR” I waited in line for 3 days for tickets and since the floor was first come first serve we had round the clocknshifts and tents for 6 days before the concert ! And when Eddie came out dressed like the robot and his red light from his ray gun hit me right in the eyes I was transported to a realm and saw Eddie chasing me with a sword from the trooper and breaking the chain he was hung with from piece of mind and he strung strings to my hands and feet and made me into a devil puppet for the album number of the beast ! And it changed me forever ! I’m 50 now with 4 kids 2 went through college and 2 more ready to go and they can’t believe all the big acts that came through JOHNSTOWN PA ! Ozzy, Metallica ( ultimate sin tour ) Iron Maiden , Bon Jovi , KISS , ( twice ) Judas Priest , Rob zombie, Alice cooper, poison, Van Halen , journey , WASP, Ted nugent , among a lot more ! Oh of corse the best sports movie EVER MADE ! SLAP SHOT!!
Greatest opening in rock history! Unbelieveable! I was back inhigh school when I heard the first notes from a neighbours house. Although not particularly friendly with them, I made it a point to find out the name of the song. Their son and I are best mates now thanks to this song :)
Amazing song. One of my all time fav Maiden songs..... the solos by Dave and Adrian are just fucking great.... Definitly my favorite Iron Maiden era....When i heard this album on LSD, that did it for me,fell in love with it...So much great songwriting and musicianship...IRON MAIDEN FOREVER
Gene S., if You Read this comment, you Helped me get to the first Row!!!! Thanks Brother. You were doing the Still Photography in The Pit in front of the stage. This was the best concert of my Life!!!!! I have seen Hundreds of Shows, but this Show( Iron Maiden) Front Row at The Greatest Arena in The World 🌎 ( Madison Square Garden) Was So Darn Awesome!!! Thank you Gene S. 🤘🤘😎 God Bless/
Too godlike to be true. I just can't stop loving this song and the kickass guitar sound. I'd be ready to die if I saw them performing this live just once in my life.
Before I spoke English I learned iron maiden songs this was one of those tracks I would hear back to back writing the lyrics down..who knew music was my English teacher
That's some epic bass playing. Not a particularly complex bassline, but SO fast, for SO long. Steve has incredible dexterity and endurance. Just incredible.
I have to say it probably has the best opening that maiden has wrote. Its just epic. Thats how they should open every show...somewhere back in time IMO :D
Im proud to say I have the whole show from Paris '86. This is still the best performance Ive seen from this tour and still beats a lot of official Maiden stuff out there.
PUT IT ON CZcams!!!! There is not a single recording of a full show that exists that I know of from this tour. You’d be doing the world a MASSIVE favor. If you send me the recording I could upload it for you if it’s too much work for you to do it.
Somewhere in Time and 7th son are my two fav Maiden albums. Incidentally 'Can I Play with Madness' video was filmed near my home town at Tintern Abbey..
Everybody be grateful for this video, in those days, you were not allowed to film at the shows, There were no cell phones, no digital cameras either. If they caught you filming, they'd kick you out of the concert. Can you imagine to be kicked out on the first song of a Maiden concert?? Kudos to the cameraman!!
Been listening to these guys since 86 when this came out, and I think you're on to something. It could be Adrian's best solo. He does it all in that one: whammy dives, pick scrapes, tapping, harmonics, etc.
I saw first time Maiden in the Slovenia-Ljubljana city 86 year,before the war in the Croatia,Waysted band was a support,and that tour Somewhere in time was a starrt from ex-Yugoslavia,I still remember like yesterday,It was really gold Metal era,during 80 ies,I was 19 year on that Maiden concert,Today I have sweet memories!!!
As a vocalist myself...When i perform shows you need to preserve your vocals throught the hour that youre playing. You cant go ALL OUT on every single song. Also, this song is A VERY DIFFICULT song to pull off day in and day out on a whole tour. He did an AMAZING job. Like he always does. He didnt miss one note...he just kept it simple for the sake of the whole concert and tour.
AWWWW!!! ...Make you an offer you can't refuse,You've only got your soul to lose...Eternally...Just let yourself goooo!Caught Somewhere In 2 MINDS ..!! Up the fuckings .. \\IRΩΩΩΩΝS// Hell Yeah !! \\mm//
I love how Steve always sings when he plays. He's so into it.
he whistles a lot too from what i understand
deadenddude well when you write most of the lyrics you repeat then too
No other bassist like it he's an absolute machine
@@d36class there were three what I was going to say Steve Harris writes most of the music and lyrics is an awesome brilliant man and a bass guitar God
I’ve also heard he likes to tap his toe. Just a rumour.
Somewhere In Time one of my favorite albums ever!
me too!
They were on the plenitude of personal performances. Bruce was incredibly in his best phase.
Same
The best of the beast
This is probably one of Maidens most underrated songs.
This song has one of the best solo on Iron Maiden history.It should be a must on their set list.
Yeah, Adrian's especially.
Yeah, i listen to this because of its greatest solo
your wish has been granted
And Powerslave my son.
Both Smith and Murray absolutely SHRED in this song. Epic.
Too bad that they don't play this song live anymore
they never did since 86'
must be really hard to play this live
I don't think that's the reason. They've played technically harder songs live.
anibaldk This song is really hard to play. It's also very hard to sing. I know because I'm also a singer. :)
I'm also a singer and am very aware of the difficulty behind this song. However, there are tremendously harder songs in Iron Maiden's repertoir which they still play live.
Nicko is a fucking machine on the drumms
NO SHIT!!!
What a privilige for that audience, this amazing song was never played again live
Well said
This song will be back next year
Oh boy do I have good news for you
Was This The Madison Square Garden Concert?
It was a damn good show, saw this show in 87 at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, CA!
Hear it again in 2023 is a great experience and a great way to bring it back to life since 1987
This is definitely THE underrated Maiden song. They never play it live but I would be so perfect if they did. Luckily my dad got to see it live in 1986 or 87 at Hammersmith
New tour announced this week might see this come back
Nov 3rd 86
I saw them at the same gig as your dad. Hammersmith tickets back then were only £5 to £6.
This comment aged like a fine wine. Yeah!
I Was at The 1986 Show at Madison Square Garden. Do you know if this is the Garden?
There is no song better to start a concert off with than this one. It's perfect. Taped intro if desired for that "crowd goes batshit" start when the band comes in full force, supremely singable, constant aggression... Just the perfect way to ignite the crowd from the first six minutes. They should still start their shows with it today. Instead it's been buried for 30 years now.
I prefer Aces High as an intro to be honest.
Seems to me the first song on every album is a great one to start a concert. This one, Aces High, Where Eagles Dare, Moonchild.. So on
I think they’re gonna open with it on the Future Past Tour next year.
@@Shadoestar OHHHH YEAHHHHH
Agreed 💯🤘
Looks like the cameraman tought that Steve was playing Dave's solo, and that Dave was playing Adrian's solo
steve harris fan XD
🤣
This was one of the cameras feeding the screen above the stage so one of the others would have been filming the others
Or that Steve was singing in the beginning
i'm thinking the same 😂😂😂
I never get tired of Maiden and that is since 1982.
It's after watching videos like this, I wish I was a teenager during the 80's instead of late 90's. The golden age of the best metal bands, and no financial crisis!
AN OUTSTANDING MASTERPIECE fom their incredible Somewhere in Time album....The album is unforgettable, incredible, gorgeous songs all the way through....and it´s a great shame they never recorded the show and released it as a DVD...THIS is a LEGACY worth holding on too....
80's as hell. God bless Harris and Maiden
Its 1:40 a.m. right now and I have an exam at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Time is always on my side
Looks like 22 did care and since you took the time and effort to respond to 7 month old comment that makes 23!
Sherlock Is My Name enormous effort i know...lol twerp
epic
keep rockin!
00:39 to 07:30. Wave physics.
Best guitar solo of all times!
Maior banda de heavy metal de todos os tempos isso é indiscutivel
Concordo
I just love how Harris' fingers are moving so fast the camera can't catch them properly - brilliant! :D
Harris bass lines are superb...
Watching this on the day Maiden have announced The Future Past Tour, hoping this will be the opening track os the setlist!
I really believe in it
Well well well
the best album ever. a realy journey of time. 8 diamonds-songs. 5 top musicians. 1 great producer. this is real magic
My favorite Iron Maiden song!! Love it!, saw them in 2012, they rocked the show but didn't play this song..
Eh aquí una de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos de iron maiden
AWESOME!!!!
This camera man had no idea what was going on. Did he think Steve Harris was singing? Was he thinking Steve was playing Dave's solo? Was he thinking Dave was playing Adrian's solo?
Well Harry is the leader, why not have the camera on him the whole time? XD
Camera man was a friend's of Harry's (and Harry's alone, or so it seems).
Hahah
Harry deserves to have most of the screentime.
Harris liked to be in the middle. Bruce often found it hard because he thought the lead singer should be in the middle but Harris was comfortable there too.
Time... is always on my sidddddeeeeeee
Both guitar solos are masterpieces...
this recording is absolutely perfect. the way they play this song is just incredible
I am glad he filmed mainly steve. It gives you a chance to look at how crazy his right hand is and he's just super cute tbh.
yes absolutely pleasinggg
One of the best songs ever and they should start playing it again!!

Audio quality is good for its age, most certainly live. Bruce Dickinson is loud and clear, the sun never sets on Maiden fans.
Greatest opening in rock history! Unbelieveable! I was back inhigh school when I heard the first notes from a neighbours house. Although not particularly friendly with them, I made it a point to find out the name of the song. Their son and I are best mates now thanks to this song :)

I was there front row Houston Texas !!! And Powerslave too THE best show ever !! 15 years old...I LOVED IT !!!! Thank you !!!
Damn this is brilliant. I wish I could have gone to a concert back in the 80s.
🤘🏻Up The Irons 🤘🏻
Maybe the dream become reality in 2023? #TheFuturePastTour
Dickinsons vocal range is outrageous
And Dave Murray’s and Adrian smiths
Guitar solos are amazing
Excellent performance
Sunday Febuary 22, 1987 Fresno, Ca USA. Somewhere On Tour Concert. I will never forget this concert. Up the Iron!!!

Uno de mis temas favoritos de siempre de los Maiden. Insuperable.
Uno de la mejores sólos de todos los tiempos. Tanto de Dave como de Adrián. Up the Irons. Saludos desde Argentina.
Still to this day, my favourite iron maiden song.... and the record is my favourite to this day.
And here we go!
2:23 Anyone noticed Bruce saying ''Yeah,motherfuckers'' XD XD
i did haha
Nope... 🤷🏻♂️
One of the great Nicko McBrain tracks! He's just such a great drummer. And what magnificent guitar harmonies!
This might be the show I was at.!!!! Bruce Had Same Jacket With The Lights on it that Show🤘🤘🤘🤘😎
tout comme moi , j'avais 6 ans , maintenant j'en ai 24 et ça reste le meilleur album que je possède et il le restera toute ma vie
I wish they would play this live again.
Just the greatest band of all time.
Love this song
This video is a better recollection than my night that year 😂❤
Too godlike to be true. I just can't stop loving this song and the kickass guitar sound. I'd be ready to die if I saw them performing this live just once in my life.
Dude I think it's time to die 😅😅
Siiiiiiii que tema tan poderosoooo solo energía y metal como solo Maiden lo pude hacer!!!
Before I spoke English I learned iron maiden songs this was one of those tracks I would hear back to back writing the lyrics down..who knew music was my English teacher
Somewhere in time now.. Exactly in 2020 !
That's some epic bass playing.
Not a particularly complex bassline, but SO fast, for SO long. Steve has incredible dexterity and endurance. Just incredible.
I have to say it probably has the best opening that maiden has wrote. Its just epic. Thats how they should open every show...somewhere back in time IMO :D
I cant imagine life without Iron Maiden. I truely love them. UP THE IRONS FOR LIFE.
This was the first Maiden song I ever heard about 30 years ago which introduced me to them. It's still my favorite Maiden song.
this was my first maiden album, well cassette. I was in 5th or 6th grade.
@@dr.8269 Me too!
e lá se vão 33 anos pqp, o tempo voa, música boa D+, Up the Irons
Man this song always gets me pumped up! Up The Irons!
My best song from Iron Maiden with the best solo ever. When music reached excellence
"Time... is always on my side."
Im proud to say I have the whole show from Paris '86. This is still the best performance Ive seen from this tour and still beats a lot of official Maiden stuff out there.
PUT IT ON CZcams!!!! There is not a single recording of a full show that exists that I know of from this tour. You’d be doing the world a MASSIVE favor. If you send me the recording I could upload it for you if it’s too much work for you to do it.
The entire album.....my FAVS.....WASTED YEARS, STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND!!!!
the best guitar solos of all time !!
Timbre da guitarra do Adrian tava insano 🤘🏼
this was my second time seeing maiden, in 88 in houston texas, my first show was powerslave 85
fuck yeah '87 in Austin for me
Somewhere in Time and 7th son are my two fav Maiden albums. Incidentally 'Can I Play with Madness' video was filmed near my home town at Tintern Abbey..
Everybody be grateful for this video, in those days, you were not allowed to film at the shows, There were no cell phones, no digital cameras either.

Agree... it’s absolutely amaizing🤟🤟
Nunca había escuchado este tema en vivo, Excelente...
Steve Harris monstruoso en el bajo.

Maiden Ricans forever!
4:01 Great Adrian Smith solo!
Son unos Genios, debemos agradecerle a el verdadero genio y lider de Iron Maiden, Steve Harris, Gracias en serio...
Ademas creo yo del mejor bajista del mundo
The Future Past tour
Best intro ever
Damn. This song would be awesome on Legacy of The Beast Tour. Strange in a Strange Land as well.
Saw this tour. Fantastic look back. Steve Harris has always been incredible
Fantastic !!!
This song wins so much
Bruce murdered that song. Struggled in time
shame you weren't there to make it all ok
Ppl take offence on petty comments. So sad.
+craig tiffany after 2 years of touring 84-85 his voice was starting to get lower
As a vocalist myself...When i perform shows you need to preserve your vocals throught the hour that youre playing. You cant go ALL OUT on every single song.

Up the fuckings ..
\\IRΩΩΩΩΝS//
Hell Yeah !! \\mm//
Sorry I'm late - but FUCK YES!!!! \m/
Two minds? Like in Castaneda's books?
one of my favorites songs!
Nicko is so perfect and heavy on this, they really need to play this live from time to time.
si es mi cancion favorita... que pena que no la tokaron en su gira 2009, igual el concierto en Lima fue la primera vez y fue inolvidable jaja
