Iron Maiden

In the live recording of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' from the NEC Arena in Birmingham on November 28, 1988, Iron Maiden was riding high on the success of their album 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing a more progressive sound while still encapsulating their heavy metal roots. Interestingly, it was also the last album to feature the guitar duo of Adrian Smith and Dave Murray in a collaborative songwriting capacity until years later. The 'Seventh Son' tour was a spectacle, featuring elaborate stage designs and thematic elements inspired by the album's storyline. Fans were treated to a stunning performance that night, solidifying Iron Maiden's status as one of the premier live acts in heavy metal history.
