Iron Maiden Live Performance of Fear Of The Dark at Donington Festival

Venue: Donington Park Location: Castle Donington, England, United Kingdom Date: August 22, 1992

In 1992, Iron Maiden was firmly riding the wave of their illustrious career, heavily fueled by the success of their album 'Fear of the Dark,' which had been released just months earlier in May of that year. This live recording from Donington Park on August 22, during the 'Fear of the Dark' tour, captures a peak moment for the band; they were known for their electrifying live shows and iconic stage presence. It's fascinating to note that this era showcased the band's transition into the '90s, embracing a darker thematic style in their music. With a massive crowd of 100,000 fans, the energy must have been palpable. This performance not only solidified their legacy but also marked the last appearance of the beloved guitarist, Janick Gers, with the group before the lineup changes that would follow. Truly, a historic moment in heavy metal history!
