Iron Maiden

In late 1982, Iron Maiden was riding high on the success of their album 'The Number of the Beast,' which had been released just months earlier in March of that year. This iconic album not only solidified their place in the heavy metal scene but also introduced unforgettable tracks like 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' and 'Run to the Hills.' The live recording in Dortmund captures the band at a pivotal moment, post album release, showcasing their electrifying stage presence and the passionate connection with their audience. Interestingly, this was also during the rise of Eddie as the band's mascot, an integral part of their identity. This concert is a testament to Iron Maiden's relentless energy and the impact they were already making during the early 80s, which would only grow in the years to come.
