Musical perfection it is a dynamic and powerful rendition that harkens back to the Maiden Japan version. “The Prisoner” keeps things going but for me it is the blistering take on the classic “Wrathchild” that really heats things up. The opening double salvo of “Moonchild” and “Evil That Men Do” is quite well received, after all the Seventh Son record debuted at number 1 in the UK charts. Once they do take the stage it sounds almost as if they will over power the recording equipment (and listener) but thankfully it just adds to the concert experience. The recording picks up with the “Seven Deadly Sins” intro played over the PA system just prior to the band hitting the stage. The band is obviously excited to play back in their home country and the gig is special for singer Bruce Dickinson as he is an alumni of the prestigious college. The recording is very good near excellent with a superb instrument and vocal mix with little crowd interference, it has a nice in your face feel to it and sounds good at loud volumes. There is one audience source for the gig, it has not seen a bootleg release save the three songs found as bonus tracks on Godfather’s London Blaze (Godfatherecords G.R.738/739). The set list would be expanded from the American jaunt and for the warm up gig the band would use the moniker Charlotte and the Harlots, the name would fool no one and the gig was quickly sold out. There were a couple exceptions to the tour, after the American leg the band would play two dates, the second was the prestigious Castle Donnington, the first was a “warm up” show at London’s Queen Mary’s College. The tour dubbed The Seventh Tour Of A Seventh Tour consisted of 98 dates and would be made up of three legs beginning with an American Tour, followed by a European trek and finally the UK leg would close the tour in grand style with the last date being held at the beloved London Hammersmith Odeon.

So massive was the record that after many invitations Iron Maiden would finally accept and, deservedly so, headline the prestigious Monsters Of Rock festival at Castle Donnington. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son was a true band project and one that would find the English metal superstars taking their finely honed metal influences and fusing them with their early musical roots of Progressive music, the result was perhaps the groups most cohesive release to date. Iron Maiden’s seventh studio record was the pinnacle of their worldwide success and has gone on to mythical status, and with good reason.
