Iron Maiden

In June 1988, Iron Maiden delivered a powerhouse performance at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, showcasing material from their recently released album, 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.' This album, which debuted just a few months prior in April, was significant for the band as it marked a turn toward more progressive elements while still maintaining their iconic heavy metal sound. Fans were treated to hits like 'Moonchild,' which is featured in this video, highlighting the band's theatrical stage presence and elaborate set designs. The 'Seventh Son' tour was pivotal for Iron Maiden, solidifying their status as metal legends and gaining acclaim worldwide. It's also worth noting that this live recording captures a moment when the band was experimenting with synthesizers and backing vocals, which added a rich layer to their sound, complementing the raw energy that fans love about them.
