Iron Maiden/Yugoslavia 1986

In the history of IRON MAIDEN, which has been over 40 years since its debut and over 2000 live performances, the rarest live album is now available! The true identity of the “rare” is “Belgrade performance on September 10, 1986”, which is the first day of “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR 1986/1987”. Although it is the capital of the now defunct former Yugoslavia, such places are not rare. This is the one where you can listen to the super famous song “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner”, which was performed live only once in the history of IRON MAIDEN!! “Seriously, you were playing this song!?” “Is that rare?” Since some of you may be wondering, I will explain it step by step. To begin with, IRON MAIDEN is famous as a band that never changes their set list, but there are exceptions to everything. I often try a rare song and then stop because it just doesn’t feel right. IRON MAIDEN enthusiasts around the world are pursuing such rare performances, but the ultimate among them is “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner”. Compared to other rare performances that have been performed several times, this song has only been performed once. Even in the entire history of IRON MAIDEN, the only songs that have only been released once are this song and Bob Seger’s cover “Rosalie (THIN LIZZY version included).” “Rosalie” is also a play when he jumps into Adrian Smith’s side project, and “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner” is the only original song that is “only once” on a serious tour. This work, which contains such rare live performances, is a wonderful audience album. Two types of recordings have been found from this live performance, but this is a complete recording and a finely remastered version of the one with better sound. The pitches that were out of place were adjusted accurately, and the best recording of the performance, which only happened once in history, was made into the best version in the world. Although it cannot be denied that there is a sense of distance, the musical tone itself is clearly clear. It’s not (never!) a recording where you don’t know what song is being played or you’re looking for it among the loud noises. In this work, you can listen to the full set of the first day of the precious tour, including the familiar “Heaven Can Wait” and “Wasted Years”, as well as “Caught Somewhere In Time” and “Sea Of Madness”, which are exclusive to this tour. “Stranger In A Strange Land” and “SOMEWHERE IN TIME” numbers are all premieres, and are worth listening to in their entirety. However, rather than talking about them all, let’s focus on the main point: “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner.” After all, it had only been stopped once, so I thought, how shabby and worn out is it? This is another wonderful performance!! If the twins are impregnable, Steve Harris’s bass and Bruce Dickinson’s singing voice are also wonderful. The performance was so careful and flawless that it was hard to believe that this was the world premiere. There are no problems, and the brilliance of the masterpiece is not clouded in the slightest, and it is a shining live performance. I wondered what was the point of dissatisfaction with this, and when I looked into it, it turned out that it was because it didn’t “fit in with the flow of the set.” Well, that may be true if you ask me, but that doesn’t mean it would be a waste to shut down such a super masterpiece. Was there no other way to do it? Among the masterpiece album “SOMEWHERE IN TIME”, the fast number “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner” has a strong Steve Harris color. If done poorly, it would receive less attention than “Deja Vu,” which received attention because it was written by Dave Murray, and it is rare to find a song that could be described as a “hidden masterpiece.” This is a live album that miraculously records a live performance that only happened once in its history. Super rare among super rare, and a splendid performance. It’s so cool even though it’s so precious, and that’s why IRON MAIDEN collectors can’t stop. “SOMEWHERE ON TOUR 1986/1987” caused fans to fall into mania by being ignored by the official. This is an extremely rare album that will draw such enthusiasts into the bottomless pit of collectors who can’t miss a single performance. Would you like to start a MAIDEN collect long-distance run filled with eternal joy and pleasure? So, how about getting ready?
