I love the storytelling, but I always have to chuckle when he jumps WHILE singing.

One of my favorite Maiden live performances. Perfect combination of a beautiful melodic intro that leads to 3 mind blowing solos from Adrian, Dave and Janick. Bruce is at his best right here with storytelling and damn good vocals at this point in his career. Always enjoy seeing reactions to this one!

Well hopefully we can get his attention to listen to this monster of a band. Super underrated as well

This band is amazing and all the members are legendary, however one member that usually gets forgotten about is Nicko Mcbrain. His drumming is excellent and I wish more people recognized him!

Hey Ken, if you want to check a song that pushes Bruce Dickenson to the limit, you could react to The Talisman from the same tour. Bruce is stationary almost the hole time and just sing with everything he has.

I know that I have to check that out because you almost never see Bruce stationary.

Really interesting why The Talisman from this same show hasn't been widely reacted to but is most deserving of it.

I went to that gig, first time Iron Maiden playing at Estadio Nacional (60 K people). They had previously announced they will be recording this concert for a live album, so the energy in the audience was far beyond more energetic as it normally is with iron maiden in Chile (madness). I remember that everyone was singing at the top of their lungs, what is not really reflected in the album. It was an excellent concert, perfect sound and perfect performance. Cheers from Chile.

Watch the Talisman from the same concert, please!

Yeah it's cool when he runs around, but if anybody wants to see what happens when Bruce just stops, grabs a mic stand, closes his eyes, enables godmode and goes for it - The Talisman is the song.

I'm in the middle of some complicated work here at the office. I stopped for a coffee and watched this video to relax. Just watching this performance of "Iron" has already given me a lot of energy to continue here!

I’ve often said that many Maiden songs were like heavy metal medieval folk songs. Glad someone else is on the same wavelength!

This is less about a pristine vocal performance and all about blurring the line between metal and musical theater. Bruce's wonderfully animated over-the-top in this and it's just so entertaining

Finally! Please also go for "No more lies" from the same album. It is amazing song story telling wise :)

Great song, great album! Maiden never disappoints!! Up the irons!! 🤘

Such a great performance. Maiden and Bruce are great. İ love how he slowly begins and jumps and Hopa and hit high an d of course that Janik gers solo

I appreciate his insight. I always watch Bruce's performance and this was the first time I noticed that, as others here mentioned, Adrian, Dave and Janick each had great solos. I dont see that listening to the studio version and never paid attention live until now. I think I notice more when watching this channel because Mr Lavigne is good at providing analysis so I tend to dive deeper into details.

What a brilliant performance! Well selected, Ken. Iron Maiden is about as solid 24K as you can get in the heavy metal genre. They have been around for decades, literally! Great to see that every band member get to showcase themselves, but the amount of time the camera spent on Nicko McBrain is just too short! With all the band members bombing around on stage, Nicko is the one guy that holds it all together!

Yea like all drummers they kind get lost in the mix behind a kit, Nicko is still killing it , doing it with carrisma and having a blast everytime you see him.

Firbme its their INCREDIBLE MELODIES that sell these amazing songs.....

I love when you react to Maiden!

I saw them live four times from 1992 to 2014 and the energy on stage an in the crowd is always insane. The moment they jump on stage feels like you stepped on a landmine. Everything is exploding around. Absolutely amazing....

Metal fans are the most loyal fans a band could hope to have. I saw Black Sabbath on their first US tour and I have been a metal head ever since. Iron Maiden is one of my fave metal bands.

FINALLY A REACTION TO THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE OF DANCE OF DEATH, WHICH TO DATE IS THE BEST ONE ❤❤

Almost always maiden music/melodies/riffs/passages stand out to me the most and first!

Of course I so wish I was there for this particular show !!!! I have seen them live and they are incredible!!! So much energy and always put all of there heart and soul into each and every show ! I noticed the story most with this video and they present it so well that it feels "EPIC" !!! I enjoyed your take,thoughts and summary as well ! 👍🙂

7:03 I don't think you intended "never fails to disappoint" :D.

Iron Maiden as a whole are angels of music, talent and grace. I love them so so so so so so much! 💎

Hey Ken, another great reaction, enjoying watching you slowly turn metalhead, just waiting to see a 7 string Ibanez sitting next to your bass in the background ! As you are a voice coach I think you would appreciate a young talent by the name of Erik Gronwall from Sweden, doing a cover of Iron Maidens Hallowed be thy name. Yes, I know, there can be only one Bruce ! But Erik does an exceptional job of this track whilst in recovery from Lucimia! This guy has done the hards yards , winning Swedish Idol as a kid, and whilst in recovery he has been picked up by "Skid Row" to become their full time lead singer. A great story , we'll worth checking him out and showing him some love/exposure. Enjoy cheers Troy in Australia

Happy to see maiden again on your channel

great reaction!! that concert was in my country... and I was there!!.. and I must to tell you.. they sound exactly the same at the dvd... Iron Maiden alive it's freaking amazing!

Hey Ken, would you mind reacting some day to Mago de Oz? Is a Spanish band, and his second vocalist Jose Andrea (1996-2012) is truly very talented. I would like that so much. Love.- M

Great reaction thanks

For forty years, they have been running and dancing on stage. This group is unique in the world. A great tenor vocal and 3 great guitarists will be on stage until they die. And also Steve

Bruce is a God!

Just saw them he sounds better then ever he's a badass there well in there 60s still kick ass need more maiden

The instrumentals are incredible as always

I saw them on the same tour this concert was on, my first time seeing them perform dance of death, and it was amazing. Seen them 7 times, soon to be 8 when they come to Manchester next month. Please react to their song called the talisman, the live version from the same concert (En Vivo). Bruce's vocals will have you in absolute awe

Good to see you back to Maiden again, Up the Irons!!!

I was fortunate to catch this tour and hence a performance of this song. It was every bit as spectacular in New Jersey as it was in Chile. Top shelf Maiden performance right there. And yeah, Bruce is one of the greatest Rock frontmen and vocalists ever. I said what I said. Cheers!

When I was a child all the boys listened to Iron Maiden - that was a hit. By the way, great song, performance and reaction 👍👏

Great song! Great reaction! Thanks! \m/

Maiden always brings me back to your channel lol

Hi Ken, Excellent again!! Highly recommend The Clansman live from rock in rio 2001!! Dickinson is awesome!!!❤👍

Btw - description of the song in your details mentions it as "Live Dortmind", however I do believe that this one is from Chile. (He puts on Chiles flag at 11:20) :)

I actually did catch that piercing scream in the audience, and thought, Ok, that was quite high. And it always gets me so much when their live audiences actually sing the guitar lines. Have never heard that with any other group. Bruce as a vocalist is royalty and the band are just titans, simply metal champions.

Would be very cool to see you check out a live recording of early Iron Maiden with Paul Di'anno

The man is definitely an athlete.

you might enjoy his evening with bruce dickinson where he tells stories and answers questions from the audience. he gets asked about mcbrain and tells the same story but not in the same way so he has a great storytelling gift to connect with the audience.

Try Aces High from Iron Maiden original song from when he was younger

That concert was in chile, not in dortmund

and he flies 747s and an Olympic fencer

I love this song! I don't know if it's in my top 5 Maiden songs but definitely top 10! As for the live version, I prefer the Death on the Road version. It's a darker, more theatrical performance.

0:54 "If it's too loud - you're too old" 😉

really enjoy your vocal analysis. The first one I saw was Hallowed Be Thy Name and I was so appreciative of how much you appreciated Bruce Dickinson’s talent. It was also quite fun getting to see someone experiencing Iron Maiden, especially this song, for the first time. I have been an Iron Maiden fan for 40 years. Since that first experience, I have especially enjoyed your analysis of other bands like Queensryche. I have a suggestion for you, Savatage. The two albums I would most suggest are Streets: A Rock Opera or The Wake of Magellan. The song I would love to see you analyze is called The Hourglass. And, if possible, the combined Savage and Trans-Siberian Orchestra performance of the Hourglass from the 2015 Wacken music festival. It features two vocalists, Zach Stevens and I believe that the second vocalist tours with TSO and his name is Dustin Brayley Here is a link to the performance: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i59lk62Kgsbdl5s.html

Jumping power squats took me off guard

This is probably the 6000th time ive heard this song, and just like every other f****** Maiden song I still end up pumping my fist... hail

Please do a react of dream of mirrors live rock in Rio,.one of my favorites songs as to Bruce vocals!!

🤘🤘🤘🤘

Top review you should check out the live performance of the clans man from rock in rio

As many othera have suggested, try Talisman from that same tour, it`s Bruce to the limit stuff.

Best band on earth! And Bruce ! Well there’s only one Bruce no one gets even closer !!!!!

Nice job, you need to do Beast in Black's Blind and Frozen

I hope you react to no more lies by maiden from the death on the road tour

Can you react a recently performance, like, 2 months ago... Bruce singing the classic Tears of the Dragon (with orchestra) in Sofia... man, that vocals... "Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon (with orchestra 18.03.2023 in Sofia)". The song Jerusalém is a good choice too, he screams more :)

Damn his a good singer

Phil the lead singer from All That Remains posted a video of him singing "This Calling" live in a bedroom on his twitch. Its great if you want to see up close a skilled professional metal singer do his thing in a raw live setting. Video titled "This Calling from my moms basement!!"

Bruce Dickinson is the only singer who can sustain a high B while running and jumping

What impressed me the most about this song, aside from Bruce's storytelling, Janick's sick guitar solo, and the emotional charge of the ending speech, is in particular at 4:35 of your react video, there Bruce sang on a higher note, then jumped, then kept singing in midair then landed and kept singing and HIS VOICE DIDN'T BREAK WHEN HE LANDED. I mean HOW. Bruce, my man, stop violating the laws of physics, that's rude.

Find someone who will look at you the same as Ken looks at Bruce

Excuse my sir, did I see you headbanging?

Ehhh. Thanks Ken. You’re always great. I’m in the minority here - a Maiden faithful for sure. This song is descent but Bruce was really starting to become super nasally. He still a sing but classic Maiden is something special.

He is almost 6o

A re you not human? Never to loud for metal my friend....simply never.

May is Metal Music month. This is Maiden when they went prog metal. The biggest thing that is unlike many other singers is how well Bruce can sing and maintain while be so mobile.
