Overview:
The Number of the Beast is the third studio album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released in March 1982. The album saw the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and the final appearance of drummer Clive Burr in the band.
The Number of the Beast met with considerable critical and commercial success and was a landmark release for the band, becoming their first album to reach No. 1 in the UK albums chart, and be certified platinum in the United States. The album also produced the singles "Run to the Hills" and "The Number of the Beast", the former of which was the band's first top-10 UK single. The album was also controversial - particularly in the U.S. - due to the religious nature of its lyrics and its artwork.
Since the release of The Number of the Beast and its subsequent tour, The Beast on the Road, "The Beast" has become an alternate name for Iron Maiden, and was later used in the titles of some of their compilations and live releases, including Best of the Beast and Visions of the Beast.

Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast album is one of my favorites with Dickinson. What can I say about this album except that it is one of the best NWBHM albums of all time.

I saw them live with my husband when we were dating on the number tour.

That's pretty cool. I was a tad too young to go to concerts but lucky for me Bruce Dickinson went back to Maiden and got a chance to see them quite a few times. First time I saw Dickinson was with the Brave New World Tour. Before that I saw them with Blaze Bailey or whatever his name is during the late 90s.
