bruce rules!!!

Thanks for the info Maple. I'll have to check-out E-BAY. You know they raise money for a Clive Burr foudation, the MS Trust? I really like the fact that they never lost contact with him and have been there for him. Do you know the story about how Bruce and Adrain got back into the band? Just so much class about this band, when you know the story.

Here is what I was able to pull off from Wikiepdia. I do have an mp of one of the songs (Prowler) and it is a bit different from the first IM LP. Anyway, you can proly find this on e-bay or a regarded old vinyl shop. Good speaking to you! MSyrup The Soundhouse Tapes is an EP by Iron Maiden. The Soundhouse Tapes are the very first recordings of Iron Maiden. Released on 9 November 1979, it features three songs taken from the demo tape Spaceward. The songs were recorded by the band on New Year's Eve 1978/79. The three tracks - "Prowler", "Invasion" and "Iron Maiden" - appear in rougher form than they would later be heard on the first Iron Maiden album and subsequent singles.

		what I dont get is wasnt live after death in 82?      VICTIM OF METAL wrote: Hey Maple, this Iron Maiden tour was called the "Somewhere Back In Time" tour. Songs included were from 1980-1989, but they did threw Fear of the Dark from 92' in there? If you have Live After Death on c.d. or dvd, this is the same exact show, with the same stage show and effects. It's really reliving a dream! With one of the coolest stage shows ever displayed in my concert going history. Hopfully this tour will be available on dvd with all the neat cookies that we have at our finger tips now in technology. If your a Maiden fan it's a do not miss. Next year will be a new c.d. for them, looking forward to that. Until then get it,turn it on, turn it up, and up the irons!    \m/  \m/, VOM      Maple Syrup wrote: Hey VOM good to hear from you.
