I think this concert was 2001 so Bruce was 43 at the time. Now at age 62 he is as energetic as then and better shape than most of us younger fans. Bruce is awesome. Multitalent. Professional airline pilot, national level fencer, historian, beer brewer, author and has had his own radio show. He's also a surviver of cancer tumor on 2015. University of Helsinki promoted he for honorary philosophy doctorate 2015. He has also doctorate to Queen Mary University of London. And is a honorary citizen of Sarajevo. Fine man.

He was 43 at the time. I was 22 and I was at this concert. Travelled 1600 km from New Hamburg (Southern Brazil, near Porto Alegre) to Rio de Janeiro in a bus full of metalheads to see Rob Halford and Iron Maiden. And I just realized I am 41 now... almost the age of Bruce Dickinson in this concert. (I look younger, but certainly not as fit)

The Flight 666 concert was the best concert I’ve ever been too, all the classics.

i believe they were in their 40s at the time of this concert. they're still going in their 60s touring and making new music. these guys are just metal machines.

Man I've been to see Maiden sooo many times. But every time I see the R.I.R show I'm still absolutely gutted I never got to be there in person.

They were in their 40s. Bruce is now the youngest at 62 and the drummer is almost 70. Totally awesome.

Check out The Clansman from Rock in Rio.....epic song all around.

The Clansman from that concert is one of the best performances ever witnessed in heavy metal. But frankly, the whole Rock in Rio was. They took every other band to school.

Iron Maiden always has great changes in tempo. Bruce Dickinson just turned 62 this year.

you know ure right there when you see crowd singing a guitar solo^^

Great reaction - one of my favourite live bands - Iron Maiden always delivers 110% to their fans . I saw them last year and they are still energetic and awesome - and who doesn't get the chills hearing the crowd chant along like that. The fans in Rio are a notch above what we normally see in North America - so much passion for their Maiden. I've been to South America and it is common to see fans who don't even know how to speak english - learn the lyrics phonetically so they can sing along. Great reaction!

Melhor show melhor performance melhor fase melhor álbum. Tudo aqui no Brazil

Greetings from Brasil!!!

When Iron Maiden start to play Fear of the dark, they don't even have to play. The fans sings the song for them!

I´ve seen these guys two times live. Every concert is a collective catharsis, especially in Brazil and Argentina.

Yes, Bruce. Singer, and pilot of Ed force one flight 666. Ed force one Boeing 747

Ah Maiden are so good live, a must see. They're in their sixties now, but man they still kick ass on stage. I've seen them about 5 or 6 times now over the years and they've never dissapointed me. The crowds are always amazing too 😁 oh they also have this huge inflatable Eddy (their mascot) that looms over the stage at some point in their show. Last time I saw them they brought an airplane on stage 😲. As for song suggestions: Hallowed be thy name, waited years, the Trooper, Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Number of the Beast.

Ohhh, didn't expect this!! Super fun song and a phenomenal performance!

The most loyal fans are those for Iron Maiden.. The lead singer Bruce also is the bands pilot and on his days away from touring, he works for an international airport.... Great reaction!!!!!

Check out the clansman from the same concert, up the irons.

Last September I turned 50. Very proud to say I was born the same year as Iron Maiden. Only Steve Harris (bass and composer) is there from the very beggining. He wrote this out of his true life dark fearing soul. Liked and subbed. Big love from Spain. Edit: Done any Nightwish yet?

they have played in front of 350.000 awesome fans...back in 1986 in Rock in RIO in 2001 there were at least 250.000 metalheads.......awesome

Now this is an unexpected treat

over 256,000 official fans there, estimated over 300,00 with people who sneaked in lol my favorite live show ever, STILL listen to it every second day

When he asked them to sing along he did it in a really high pitch, that was to help get him ready to sing the next verse by getting his vocal tools ready

Hoopsick is ready for their masterpiece of all time “ hallowed be thy name “

I saw this band a few years ago and these guys still got it. It was absolutely amazing. One of the best concerts I've ever been to

Heard this live the first time when I was 7-8 years old. Ever since I have loved Iron Maiden. I liked run to the hills alot when I was 5, but this made me a fan.

I was lucky enough to see them headline a music festival here in the U.K back in the mid 2000's after being brought up with their music playing in our house as a child and it was amazing.

Brazil has the best audience in the world, not only in rock but in many other styles as well.

Hi Hoopsick, - please do the opener of this show, it is "The Wicker Man" ... thats the way to start a show for 250000 people (it even was on air live with 5million+ viewers)

This is one of a few songs that actually gives me Goosebumps just because it is so epic vs its Studio version

Great reaction. Cheers from Ecuador 🇪🇨

"The clansman" from same show. Another epic song and performance Hallowed be thy name 1982. Bruce vocals on his prime.

You should react to hallowed be thy name!!

South American crowd is the best. Concerts in Brazil, Argentina, Chile are just insane.

The only band that can get thousands of fans to not only sing along without asking...but Humm the damn guitar notes without asking!

You must see Heaven and Hell from Black Sabbath. Its epic...

2001 Rock in Rio. I was at this show. Only time I've seen them out of the U.S. UP THE IRONS!! 🤘🤘

Bruce still runs across the stage, and they still play 2 hour shows. They usually have some of their harder/faster songs at the end of the show, like Run to the Hills, and he's out there with more energy left than people a third of his age (he's 65 now). You've gotta see them live - they're still TOP of their game.

What always amazes more than the size of the crowd (250,000) but that they do not speak English as their first language. This is in Brazil and most of them speak Portuguese. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Iron Maiden. 39 albums in 40 years. More video albums than you can count. The albums from the early 80's starting with 3 and going thru the early 90's were at their peak. Then Adrian and Bruce left the band. In 2001 Bruce and Adrian came back, they kept replacement guitarist Janick and came out with a string of albums in the early 2000's to this day that mirror their best work in the 80's. Nice reaction. Yeah the musicianship of these guys is epic. Especially live, they are near flawless. And Bruce is one of the best singers ever, especially in the metal genre. My advice except for this song, is to listen and react to the originals first, then the live versions of the songs. Always have a separate window for the lyrics or a with lyrics version of the song going so you can appreciate the amazing song writing too. Notable songs: Hallowed be Thy Name, Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills, 22 Acacia Avenue, The Prisoner, Children of the Damned, The Trooper, Sill Life, Flight of Icarus, Aces High, Powerslave, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Revelations, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Die with your boots on, Wasted Years, Can I play with Madness, Stranger in a Strange Land, Alexander the Great and so many more, that is just from a few albums in the 80's. And I am missing so many good songs that are not famous. Plus Maiden made their name without Radio play time as most commercial outlets were afraid to play their music because Evangelical Christians would protest and boycott their stations if they did. So thruout their career they had little support from commercial radio stations and only minor support from MTV due to Head Bangers Ball. Voted best live band to see recently and greated Heavy Metal Band as well. I have to agree. Just look for their contemporaries from the late 70's and early 80's. They are playing mostly at county and state fairs and small venue bars as classic acts with no new music. Iron Maiden is still putting out relevant music for the last 20 years. Enjoy the trip, we always appreciate it when a new listener to Iron Maiden understands the amazing songs and gets the enjoyment we once did when we heard it for the first time. Chris

If you're ever in Rio and can't speak the language you can always communicate in Iron Maiden lyrics.

One of my all time favourite songs.classic! 🇫🇮

What you need to know about Bruce Dickinson is also a commercial pilot, professional competitive fencer, involved in brewing more than one label of beer, author, screen writer, public speaker etc etc....

on the rush in rio dvd you can see the brazilians sing along with yyz an instrumental. amazing crowds.

Bruce is history student, an esgrimist, and a Pilot of comercial airlines in grade of captain.

Expanding a little on what Ilpo H said... Bruce is an airline pilot qualified to fly Boeings 747 or similar airplanes. In fact, Iron Maiden, when on tour, has it's own airplane, piloted by Bruce: Ed Force 1 Check this out kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKuk2NGOicS4abg.html Bruce Dickinson is also a fencer... he competed internationally and has reached 7th in the British rank for a time, although he modestly says that was because the English national team was taking a time off in the summer. More info about Bruce's fencing career here www.bookofhours.net/beta/fencing.htm and a video of him practicing at Rio in 2001 (its from the Rock In Rio DVD, disc 2) kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3Z7lqyJXb3NcrA.html

best live vid i've ever seen still

First ........ I must say, you look like my favorite football player, Mr. Julian Edelman from the Patriots!!!! Second ...... There are so many concert tours. And there's always that ONE concert performance that tops them all. And this is one of them from Maiden! Great song and performance from the band and interaction from the fans! Third ..... Steve Harris (the bass player) is actually scared of the dark!! This coming from him and Bruce Dickinson from an interview! When on tour, he takes a night light with him.

Bruce Dickinson (the singer) would have been 43 in this video (hes 63 now) Janick jers (one of the guitarists) is 63 now as well, but he totally jumps around like a cat still. I saw them live last year and they are pretty peppy for their age lol. At many points in the concert Janick had his leg up on an amp at head height, just casually noodling around as usual. Bruce definitely still runs and jumps better than me, and im 33.

7:42 "I can't hear you"! He screams at 250,000 people lol
