Such a great song, this is the BEST version of this live I've seen, Adrian nails his solo, my God, is he brilliant.

[anthonyfinnegan]

When I die, I want 1st row seats to that Iron Maiden concert in the sky

[Kinslayerdc]

And Dave Murray smiles at the end fade away. They knew they nailed it. Awesome performance.

[MarcoScorbati]

Adrian 's solo = God 's solo!!!

[privatehudson]

Goosebumps everytime when the crew comes on stage for the singalong. I have watched the Maiden England VHS since 1989, but don´t have a working player anymore. Thank god for youtube.

For me - the best Iron Maiden Song- this Version is epic...

[marcelo]

If you went to the Iron Maiden's show in the 80's, you're lucky and blessed.

[NordpeakConsulting]

Nicko's drums parts are fantastic and contribute so much to Maiden's unique musical signature ! Amazing band :)

[smith]

Adrian is just fantastic, in the "God mode". :D

[jamiefox]

I bought this vid on vhs in 1990, wore it smack out, I swear I watched it so many times I was part of the show. Seen them live 22 years later. Up the Irons!!

[chromaxd]

wow, the sound is better than the flight 666 version
I can actually hear Nicko s hi hat and ride

[thomaslejon]

I love jazz, fusion jazz but when i listen maiden one time, i think thats the best music ever ! Nothing else

[carlosvqz]

Tremenda Facha el de Bruce Dickinson, su puesta en escena es loable, es de los mejores Frontman de todos los tiempos, está en mi lista de los 5 mejores un capo el maestro Bruce ❤️

[livingadventures]

How come 36 years later..it sounds as fresh as yesterday?! Long live rock!!!

[neosocrates]

This will be the song for my memorial!

[wire]

Great times for me as a long meticulous maiden fan. My hero Davey was playing his #1 strat except for the occasional ESP, Rod Smallwood, Dick Bell ( pinching Steve's throat @ 3:55 ) Dave Lights and some of the original crew were there for the sing along what a tour family and felt part of it, the maiden line up as I liked minus Clive Burr were amazing. I was young and indestructible and had fuel for days ! I caught Adrian's wristband and Nicko's drumstick which I still have and I threw my sweat soaked undershirt at Steve's face. Wore my 7th son jersey proud as hell which I still have. Glad Bruce was not in his turn off your joints phase then cause I'd been thrown out !!!

[josephspross]

Saw them in 87' Somewhere in Time tour... AMAZING

[sotiriskosmas]

Lyrics:

Can’t understand what is happening to me
This isn’t real this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before

I’m looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of death has come for me?

I can’t believe that really my time has come
I don’t feel ready, there’s so much left undone
And it’s my soul and I’m not gonna let it get away

Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day

I have a lust for the earth below
And Hell itself is my only foe
‘Cause I’ve no fear of dying, I’ll go when I’m good and ready

I snatch a glimpse of the light’s eternal rays
I see a tunnel, I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me

Into the paths of rightness I’ll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead?
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare

Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait till another day

Take my hand, I’ll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I’ll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I’ll take you to the other side
To see the truth the path for you is decided

My body tingles, I feel so strange
I feel so tired, I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I’ll ever be the same again

Is this in Limbo or in Heaven or Hell?
Maybe I’m going down there as well
I can’t accept my soul will drift forever

Feel myself floating back down to earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?

[DJBalkenende]

Bruce sings live better now than in those years. But great era
