Iron Maiden

In November 1986, Iron Maiden was riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album 'Somewhere in Time,' which had been released just a month earlier. This live performance at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden, is part of 'Somewhere on Tour,' highlighting the band's evolution into using an array of modern technology, which was a fresh move for them at that time. Interestingly enough, this tour marked a significant transition as they began incorporating synthesizers into their heavy sound, showcasing their willingness to push boundaries. It's fascinating to consider how this show captures the band's energy, both on stage and within their rapidly growing fanbase. The show featured classics like 'Caught Somewhere in Time,' and audiences were treated to the iconic stage presence of Eddie, their mascot, who has become synonymous with the band itself.
