WATCH: Saxophone playing busker absolutely nails cover of Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper'
He played outside Maiden's Dallas show
A saxophone playing busker dazzled Iron Maiden fans with an impressive interpretation of ‘The Trooper’ in Dallas last Friday night (23rd June).
As 21,000 fans streamed out of the American Airlines Center in a euphoric mood following a typically barnstorming Iron Maiden set, the waiting busker launched into a well-honed version of Iron Maiden’s 1983 classic.
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take too long for a sizable crowd to assemble and sing along to the saxophone player.
Judging by the number of Maiden fans eagerly throwing notes into his bucket, it’s fair to say that the busker made an absolute killing from the performance.
With Roger Waters the next act up at the American Airlines Center on 3rd July, we wouldn’t be surprised if he’s brushing up on a version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as we speak.
