The duo Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen are on the road across North America to promote their first album as a partnership, Smith/Kotzen , released in March 2021. To the surprise of fans, the song "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden was included in the setlist of their performance last Saturday, the 22nd.
The guitarists performed at an intimate venue in Las Vegas and decided to play a version of the track, part of Iron Maiden's album Somewhere In Time (1986). Smith handled the vocals, with Kotzen providing backing vocals on the chorus.
According to Ultimate Guitar , this was the second time Smith and Kotzen performed the version on the tour, which runs until January 27. The duo had also performed the cover the previous night.
