Iron Maiden video interviews / shows

This is my first time hearing 'Wasting Love' live.  Bruce has so much more power, clarity and emotion singing this song live.  I'm a renewed fan (of the song).  :)
 
@Genghis: Bruce's explanation about the song's lyrics also worked for me to appreciate it better, especially because the song kicks right in after that.  ;)

I like this close, raw live footage way more than the colour-mixed-with-black-and-white-shots Donington video.

I have a question that maybe Forostar can answer. I listened to that totally awesome Sheffield bootleg from the SIT tour in 1986 (many thanks Zare!) and Bruce gives a nice intro to Wasted Years at the end of SIASL. He says something like, "We weren't originally going to call this song Wasted Years..." which totally surprised me. So now I wanna know what the original song title was! So when the clip for Wasted Years starts, all you hear is H belting out the intro! There's like a 10 second gap there where Bruce "might have" said what the name of the song was supposed to be...?

PM me Forostar and enlighten me with your knowledge!  :D I can give you the clips for SIASL and WY if that would help...

I just listened carefully to these moments myself, and indeed(!), there's an annoying cut right after Bruce is gonna say it.

Right now, I'll check other bootlegs, because Bruce introduced that song more often on that tour.

edit: YES, I got it!!!

Only one gig earlier, in Leicester on the 14th of October 1986, Bruce says the following:

We were originally gonna call it "Golden Years". But we thought we can't really do that because David Bowie has got one and it sounds a bit like an invitation to a wedding anniversary, so instead we took the other word in the title and it's out on single. It's called "Wasted Years"!

His explanation is so unlike that of a typical rock star.  Can you imagine any of the 'cock rock' artists saying anything remotely close to that?  The band's maturity, like this Bruce example, is certainly reflected in their lyrics.

I noticed that as well. Also the way he said it. He took such a long pause to think well about it, how to tell it.

Seeing this special again, reminds me of how shocked I was that Bruce would leave, about half a year later. The knowledge of him leaving seemed so much the opposite of everything I'd seen and known about the band, before that.

Thank you so much Forostar! That makes sense too, because the chorus has both wasted years and golden years in it. So maybe H wrote the lyrics and got together with the band to discuss the song title. The fact it's only Smith and not Smith/Dickinson or Smith/Harris makes me believe he picked the title himself.

Well, since Adrian wrote the music and the lyrics and since the first title was Golden Years, it sounds logical to me that he made everything up until that point. Then the band changed the title (and of course H agreed). Sounds like a logical order of things, but that's only me, theorizing of course! It could also be that H presented the whole thing without a title yet. And the band made idea A and then idea B (with the master's consent). ;)

...which could made possible an update for IMC one day:
It seems to be some sort of an admonition to appreciate the present and not take things for granted. It could also be a reflection on the World Slavery Tour, that really burned out the musicians of Iron Maiden to the point that a split of the band was feared at the time. It's obvious, though, that all that time was certainly not wasted, and that those were indeed Maiden's "Golden Years".

you rule Foro  ;)

I 'm trying to decide if I was preferring Bruce to finish by singing and insulting -as he did
or just insulting with the melody behind = that one would have made a nice bootleg to have  :D

Edit : woops ! you've put some more !!  :bigsmile:

Yw man! :)
This song really jumped to my top 3 of favourites of AMOLAD! I still like the chorus the least, but for the rest it's full of excellent parts. What I like in particular is 3.44. Steve walks to Adrian and together they start the next part. Such moments also exist in Sign of the Cross (Steve and Dave), Heaven Can Wait (Steve and Dave) and NOTB (Steve and Dave), but the moments in LOL (what an abbreviation HAHAHA! :) ) and SOTC are cooler because they happen in the middle of the songs, and present a change of atmosphere as well. I vaguely remember that there's also a Steve & Janick moment, but I forgot about the song.

Indeed. That song was also a "grower" to me!

I'll never forget that gig. My coat was 10 times as heavy because of the rain.  :)

BTW, have anyone of you even heard about this "guest appearance" before?

Cool clip, thanks (though it fits better in the Bruce vids ;) )! Never seen it before.
 
Wow, any of you have seen this one? It's already on the net for ages, but I hadn't seen it myself.

2 Minutes to Midnight @ Greece, 1999 (last gig of the world tour!)

First Bruce warns about flares! Later on, a wanker doesn't listen and again lits some firework (check out the smoke)! Bruce is very pissed off and even goes off stage for a whole couplet. The smoke must be very disturbing,

Again during this same(!) song, Bruce stops it because someone spits on 'Arry. Amazing that Bruce noticed it.
It's filmed from quite far, but you can hear and "feel" the anger, pretty well.

Before Bruce has stopped talking, I find it interesting how cool 'Arry already thinks about the next song, walking to Adrian, propbably saying "Let's do the Clansman now", so that the boys can already prepare for that one (Bruce is the last to learn, as you'll hear). By the way, those solos kicks major ass in this version!
