Iron Maiden

In 1981, Iron Maiden was riding high after the release of their self-titled debut album and a successful follow-up, 'Killers,' which dropped just months earlier in March. The 'Live In Taunton' concert on February 28, 1981, captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career, as they were solidifying their presence in the heavy metal scene. This show also marks an early glimpse of the band's energetic performances that would soon become legendary. Interestingly, this concert occurred just before they kicked off their first American tour, which would launch them into international fame. The raw energy and enthusiasm captured in this live recording reflect the band's growing stage presence, setting the tone for their future iconic performances.
