Iron Maiden Live Performance of Run To The Hills and Sanctuary in Roskilde, Denmark

Venue: Dyrskuepladsen Location: Roskilde, Region Zealand, Denmark Date: June 29, 1991

In 1991, when Iron Maiden took the stage at Roskilde, they were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album 'No Prayer for the Dying,' which had been released the year before. This live performance was part of the tour supporting that album, showcasing classic tracks like 'Run to the Hills' and fan favorites like 'Sanctuary.'

The Roskilde gig also highlighted the band's formidable live energy, which had made them legendary in the metal scene. And let’s not forget, this was a time when the heavy metal community was evolving, with Iron Maiden still firmly at the forefront, captivating audiences worldwide.
