Iron Maiden Live Performance in Hollywood FL 1988 - Master Tape Remaster

Venue: Hollywood Sportatorium Location: Pembroke Pines, Florida, United States Date: August 5, 1988

In the summer of 1988, Iron Maiden was riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,' which had just been released a few months earlier in April. This period marked the band's artistic peak, blending heavy metal with progressive elements, and the album's conceptual depth was a significant draw for fans. The live performance captured in the video features electrifying renditions of tracks from that very album, showcasing not only Maiden's technical prowess but also their ability to connect with the audience through theatrical flair. Interestingly, this concert was part of the 'Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour,' which was notable for its elaborate stage setup, including a giant inflatable Eddie, the band's iconic mascot. The Hollywood Sportatorium showed a fervent crowd response, an early glimpse of how Iron Maiden would evolve into legends within the heavy metal realm.
