Iron Maiden

In the heat of 1987, Iron Maiden was riding a wave of monumental success following their album "Somewhere in Time," released just the year before. This live concert, recorded on August 2, 1987, at the Hampton Coliseum, captures the band at a pinnacle of their career, showcasing their evolving sound with synthesizer elements alongside their traditional heavy metal roots. Fans can experience hits like "Caught Somewhere in Time" and "The Trooper" during this electrifying performance. Interestingly, it was during this period that Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie, became more prominent in the band's visuals, effectively solidifying their identity in the metal scene. This concert is a striking look at their ability to blend theatrics and music, a testament to why they are legends in the genre.
