1321 - Iron Maiden The Prisoner 1982

“We want information…information…information!” “Who are you?” “The new Number Two.” “Who is Number One?” “You are Number Six.” “I am not a number! I am a free man.” “(maniacal laughter)” A musical adaptation of the old BBC television series, The Prisoner. The song begins with Patrick McGoohan's opening narration from the show. Steve Harris: "Adrian took the solo on this one and it's one of his favorites. It's a very strong live number, although we don't play it on the set now". Jettisoning leads and monstrous beats from the drums, and Bruce’s wailing of every vocal line as if it’s going to be the last he ever sings…pure classic stuff!
