Iron Maiden

In May 1981, Iron Maiden was riding high on the success of their second album, "Killers," which had just been released in February of that year. This live recording captures the raw energy of the band during a crucial period in their career. With Paul Di'Anno still at the helm as lead vocalist, the show at Nakano Sunplaza in Tokyo showcases their emerging sound and growing fanbase. Interestingly, this performance happened just before they started to make a name for themselves globally, setting the stage for their later iconic status in heavy metal. The intense atmosphere of the Tokyo crowd beautifully reflects the band's rise, making this concert a significant milestone in their journey.
