UAWIL #65: Number of the Beast at 40 - Iron Maiden

In 1982, Iron Maiden introduced the world to their new singer Bruce Dickinson and that propelled them to superstardom. His powerful and operatic vocals, spot on songwriting and command of the stage changed Maiden from a power punk band to the heavy metal heavyweights they are today.  Action Jackson talks about seeing Bruce perform his one man show live in Jacksonville before we dive into this classic record.  Has it been 40 years since we first heard Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills & Hallowed Be Thy Name? Is it their best ever?  We'll dive into it on our first of two Maiden reviews back to back.
