IRON MAIDEN ”MUSIC MACHINE, LONDON, ENGLAND” (SEPTEMBER 10, 1979)

The gig was a landmark event occurring just before the band signed with EMI. This concert marked the first time Iron Maiden performed three songs that would become legendary anthems: "Running Free," "Remember Tomorrow," and "Phantom of the Opera." The gig featured guitarist Tony Parsons, but he only played on the final few tracks (such as "Iron Maiden" and "Drifter") because he hadn't yet learned the full setlist.
