Iron Maiden/Italy 1981

Bruce Dickinson roars with “KILLER WORLD TOUR 1981”!! The extremely “special” live album in the 35-year history of IRON MAIDEN is now available and reissued! This work is an audience album of “October 29, 1981 Padua Performance (Italy)”. This “Italy, October 1981” has a special meaning for MAIDEN collectors. It is part of the “KILLER WORLD TOUR 1981”, but the singer is Bruce Dickinson, who joined in September 1981. It’s a warm-up tour for him. Of course, since it has been less than a month since joining, there are no new songs, and the set list remains completely “KILLER WORLD TOUR 1981”. In other words, it is an album in which Dickinson screams out the live performances of the Paul DiAnno era! Dickinson has sung early songs at various times in later years, but “October 1981” is the only one whose entire repertoire is from the Diano era. Moreover, this tour was the only time that Dickinson publicly sang “Purgatory,” “Twilight Zone,” and “Innocent Exile.” ). It’s not just the set list. Diano was on stage just last month, so the performance was just like the Diano era MAIDEN. Dickinson, who jumped in there, was in a screaming tone that was exactly the same as in the SAMSON era, and was truly “blues blues”. Later, the two will fuse and create a new world of IRON MAIDEN, but this “October 1981 Italy” tour is on the verge of that. It is a live performance where the two do not reach the point where they blend together, but they scatter sparks and collide. There will be a total of 5 such special tours from October 26th to October 30th. The Padua performance included in this work is the fourth of these performances (incidentally, the fifth Milan performance on October 30th can be enjoyed as “DEFINITIVE YEARS IV”). The sound is also really great. There is no doubt that it is an audience recording from the audience’s conversation between songs, but the musical tone is so clear and the core is so thick that there are maniacs who used to trade it as a sound board. Because the early songs of Dickinson version roar with such a sound …. To begin with, IRON MAIDEN is a band with an extremely high level of planning. The set list rarely changes during a tour, and throughout history there are very few highlights such as “unusual songs” or “rare co-stars.” In addition, each live performance is of a high degree of perfection, there are few improvised elements, and there are many official live records/videos, so it is easy to think that “just the official one is enough”. This is a masterpiece recording of an absolutely “special” tour in the history of IRON MAIDEN. This is a reissue of a live album that everyone who loves IRON MAIDEN should definitely listen to!
