Iron Maiden

In March 1987, Iron Maiden was on the exhilarating 'Somewhere on Tour' leg, promoting their critically acclaimed album 'Somewhere in Time,' which had been released in September 1986. By this point, the band was riding high on the success of hits like 'Wasted Years' and 'Alexander the Great.' The live performance captured in Milwaukee showcases their electric energy and intricate sound, with a setlist that often included fan favorites. Interestingly, this tour was notable for the band's use of innovative stage effects and the iconic Eddie mascot, which has become synonymous with Iron Maiden's identity. The Mecca Arena set was a pivotal moment, solidifying the band's status as heavy metal legends during one of their most creative periods.
