Iron Maiden/Eddie’s History 1980-1998

A “fun video collection” produced by overseas enthusiasts is set to be released. The concept is “Eddie’s history”. This is a collection of scenes from Eddie’s appearance in “Iron Maiden” to “Virtual Eleven”. Eddie’s appearance scene is the highlight of the IRON MAIDEN live. It is also a highlight of various videos. This work is a condensed version of his appearance scene, 18 types, about 46 minutes. The song is not complete, but that’s why it’s an interesting one like a TV program where Eddie, who changes in a thousand ways, appears one after another. The footage used is a wide variety, from familiar official footage such as “Resurrection of the Dead” and “MAIDEN ENGLAND”, to the finest professional shots, and even the super rare audience that only has one on the tour. It is composed of the best footage from each tour. The most interesting thing is how the band becomes more luxurious as it becomes more successful. In the first Paul Di’Anno era, Eddie and staff still painted on the wall wear masks and scatter smoke, but in “THE BEAST ON THE ROAD”, Eddie grows to a 3-meter stilt-walking Eddie. Furthermore, in “WORLD PIECE TOUR”, Eddie becomes a giant Eddie that blends in with the stage set. That “WORLD PIECE TOUR” is super valuable. The famous murder scene of Eddie is also included in the PV, but the most valuable is “Hallowed Be Thy Name” from the Montreal performance. It’s hard to tell from the dark audience footage, but the giant Eddie’s face rises up as the song breaks. From this tour, a giant Eddie that blends in with the set appeared, but I’m sure many of you have never seen it move. During the “WORLD PIECE TOUR” era, there were only two types of audience shots, and the only one where Eddie was properly reflected was this Montreal performance. Also, “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR”, which was not officially seen, is a superb shot. You can see the stilts Eddie up close in Philadelphia, and the giant Eddie who is brought into the elevator and holds the whole stage in Sheffield, where you can see the whole picture. The rarest footage is the giant Eddie in “NO PRAYER ON THE ROAD”. Some people may think that this tour only had a simple set, but the giant Eddie appears. Just like “Resurrection”, you can see the scene where he breaks through the coffin and appears in a superb angle that fills the screen. The same stilts Eddie (denim & T-shirt design) is used in “NO PRAYER ON THE ROAD” and “FEAR OF THE DARK / REAL LIVE TOUR”. At the beginning of “FEAR OF THE DARK TOUR”, it was “Dead Tree Eddie” close to the album jacket, but there was a problem with the range of motion and it was difficult to move on stage. So it was returned to the simple “NO PRAYER ON THE ROAD” design. I would have liked to see “Dead Tree Eddie” as well, but unfortunately it was not found in the video. In this work, “Denim & T-shirt Eddie” goes wild, but a precious trouble scene where his neck breaks off from being too wild is adopted. Speaking of trouble, there is the giant Eddie of “VIRTUAL XI WORLD TOUR”. It is a gimmick that embraces the entire stage and eats the drum set, but the timing of his appearance in this work was off. It is a very loose and messy video, but this is the only pro shot of this giant Eddie that remains. In addition, famous scenes from “RAISING HELL” such as Simon Drake killing Bruce and Eddie killing Simon are also reproduced, and at the end, a special video “Eddie Best 10” produced by the HR/HM specialty site “LOUDWIRE” is also included as a bonus. It is a masterpiece video collection full of highlights that can not be written. In any case, it is convenient! “Eddie’s growth story” that only maniacs who collect while scrutinizing each video knew. It is an entertainment work that condenses only the delicious points and allows you to witness it. This album is filled with the 80s and 90s that I spent with Eddie.
