Description
IRON MAIDEN in 1982, which ushered in a new era with Bruce Dickinson. The traditional recording is a big revival! This work is engraved with the “Oxford performance on March 9, 1982”. It is a superb audience recording. Speaking of 1982, “COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82” will also be released at the same time, but this work is also Arnum, which, together with the new masterpiece, constitutes “the greatest recording of the 3rd era”. In order to explain the situation around there, let’s first take a bird’s-eye view of the activities at that time. 1981 September: Diano fired → Dickinson joined October 26-30: Italy (5 shows) Composing “The Magic Seal” started November 15: Rainbow Theater show December 23 “DEFINITIVE RUSKIN ARMS 1981” 1982 February 25-March 20: UK #1 (20 shows) ←★here★ March 22nd “The Magic Seal” released March 22nd-May 1st: Europe (35 shows) May 11th-August 22nd: North America #1 (72 shows) August 25th-28th: UK #2 (3 shows) ←※COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82 September 1st – October 23rd: North America #2 (38 shows) November 7th – 21st: Australia (10 shows) November 26th – December 10th: Japan (10 shows) {Clive Burr replaced by Nicko McBrain} This is the journey from Bruce Dickinson joining to Clive Burr leaving. Our shop archives various masterpieces, but here we have only written the “three great recordings” mentioned above. These three works are called the “three greats” because of their outstanding sound quality, but the show content is actually different. This is a good opportunity, so let’s briefly summarize the differences here. Masterpiece 1: DEFINITIVE RUSKIN ARMS 1981 This is a familiar masterpiece. It is a secret gig (under the name “GENGHIS KHAN”) at the time when they started making “The Magic Seal”. The only new songs are “Run To The Hills” and “The Prisoner”, but instead there are many repertoires from the Di’ano era. The close contact sand that is unique to the club is also super powerful. Masterpiece 2: This is a masterpiece recording of “UK #1”, which was still waiting to be released while completing this work “The Magic Seal”. It was recorded at a concert 11 days (9 performances) before the official “BEAST OVER HAMMERSMITH”. Since this work is the main part of the “BEAST ON THE ROAD Tour”, it is the highest peak of hall recordings different from the above (club recordings). It boasts a very thick and direct feeling that is not inferior to “DEFINITIVE RUSKIN ARMS 1981”, while the sound is neat and beautiful, and the ensemble is well-balanced and the consistency is outstanding. Masterpiece 3: COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82 This refers to “Zodiac 720”, which will be released at the same time as this work. I’ll leave the details to that commentary, but the open feeling of an outdoor festival is attractive, unlike the closed-door club “DEFINITIVE RUSKIN ARMS 1981” and this hall work. …And so it goes. Because the individuality of the site is too different, it’s hard to choose between the three sounds, but in terms of the set, this work is definitely the most / best masterpiece. There are more songs than “COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82”, which was a short set for festivals. Finally, let’s compare the contents. The Mark of Magic (7 songs) Run To The Hills / Children Of The Damned / The Number Of The Beast / 22 Acacia Avenue / Total Eclipse (★★) / The Prisoner / Hallowed Be Thy Name Diano era (11 songs) Steel Virgin: Transylvania / Phantom Of The Opera / Iron Maiden / Sanctuary / Running Free / Prowler (★) Killers: Murders In The Rue Morgue / Wrathchild / Another Life (★) / Killers (★) / Drifter *Note: “★” marks are songs that are not included in “COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82”. In particular, “★★” marks are limited to this tour only. Even so, “BEAST ON THE ROAD Tour” is truly amazing. Clive’s wild drumming has a breath of NWOBHM, and his blues roar is just like the SAMSON era. Even the classic “Run To The Hills” is powerful and stretches out like a beast, unlike the mid-to-late 80s when they tried to hide the high notes with a gyao gyao sound. This work is the best masterpiece that allows you to experience the “BEAST ON THE ROAD Tour” 100% in its entirety, which was filled with such unique brilliance. The best audience recording of the “Oxford performance on March 9, 1982”. Along with “DEFINITIVE RUSKIN ARMS 1981” and “COMPLETE READING ROCK ’82”, this is one of the “three major recordings of the 3rd era”, and is a masterpiece that goes one step further with the awesomeness and rich sound of the full set. It boasts an immensely thick and direct feeling, a neat and beautiful sound, and a beautifully coordinated ensemble. This is a masterpiece that you should definitely listen to in 1982!
