Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden Live at the National Exhibition Centre Performing Wasted Years from Maiden England '88
Venue: NEC Arena
Location: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom
Date: November 27, 1988
In November 1988, Iron Maiden performed 'Wasted Years' at the NEC Arena in Birmingham during their iconic 'Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour.' This period was marked by the release of their album 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,' which came out earlier that year and showcased a more progressive rock influence in their sound. It's fascinating to note that this live recording, part of the 'Maiden England' video series, captured the band at a pivotal moment in their career when they were experimenting with synthesizers and complex narratives in their music. Iron Maiden's theatrical performances, complete with their beloved mascot Eddie, added an unforgettable touch to their live shows, solidifying their reputation as heavy metal legends.
