1982

On March 20, 1982, IRON MAIDEN performed at the Hammersmith Odeon in London during The Beast on the Road world tour — the band's first major headlining campaign with Bruce Dickinson as vocalist. The show was professionally filmed and recorded, capturing MAIDEN at the absolute peak of their early powers. Released initially as a VHS titled "Beast Over Hammersmith," the footage documented Dickinson's electrifying stage presence alongside Steve Harris's thunderous bass, the twin-guitar attack of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, and the iconic Eddie mascot towering over the stage. Songs from the freshly released "The Number of the Beast" dominated the setlist alongside classics from the Paul Di'Anno era. The recording was officially released on CD in 2002 as part of the "Eddie's Archive" box set and again in 2023. It remains one of the most celebrated live recordings in British heavy metal history.
