Iron Maiden Performance at Rosemont Horizon Chicago 1987 - Chicago 87

Venue: Rosemont Horizon Location: Rosemont, Illinois, United States Date: March 11, 1987

In 1987, Iron Maiden was at the height of their career, riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'Somewhere in Time,' which had been released the previous year. This live recording from the Rosemont Horizon captures the band during their 'Somewhere on Tour' supporting that very album. Fans would have been thrilled to hear tracks like 'Wasted Years' and 'Heaven Can Wait' in this raucous setting. Interestingly, this era marked a shift for Iron Maiden as they began experimenting with more progressive elements, and incorporating synthesizers into their sound, highlighting their evolution from traditional heavy metal to a more sophisticated approach. With Bruce Dickinson's soaring vocals at the forefront, this concert stands as a testament to Iron Maiden's relentless energy and creativity during a pivotal moment in their history.
