Iron Maiden

During the period of the live recording of "2 Minutes to Midnight," which took place on November 30, 1984, at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, Iron Maiden was riding high on the success of their album "Powerslave." Released earlier that year, this album marked a defining moment in the band's career, showcasing their signature blend of heavy metal and progressive elements. "Powerslave" featured iconic tracks like "Aces High" and "2 Minutes to Midnight," contributing to Iron Maiden's growing reputation as one of the leading forces in the metal scene. The 'Live After Death' album, which includes this performance, would capture the band’s energy and the electrifying atmosphere of their concerts, solidifying their legacy. This era was pivotal, as it also introduced the world to their infamous mascot, Eddie, in artwork that is now legendary. Iron Maiden's performance in Toronto not only reflected their critical acclaim but also their devoted fanbase's passion.
