Iron Maiden Live Performance of Tailgunner at Arco Arena, Sacramento

Venue: ARCO Arena Location: Sacramento, California, United States Date: March 13, 1991

During the Iron Maiden live show at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento on March 13, 1991, the band was in the midst of their 'No Prayer on the Road' tour, promoting their album 'No Prayer for the Dying', released the previous year in 1990. This album marked a significant transition for the band, as it was their first without the legendary producer Martin Birch, who had been with them since the late '70s. In this performance, fans were treated to some of the hits from that album, including 'Tailgunner' and 'Public Enema Number One', which showcased the band's evolving sound. Notably, this was an exciting time as Iron Maiden was solidifying their reputation as one of the foremost heavy metal bands in the world, with a dedicated fan base and a flair for theatrical live performances that set them apart.
