Iron Maiden

In December 1998, Iron Maiden performed at the Pedreira Paulo Leminski in Curitiba, Brazil, as part of their Virtual XI World Tour. This concert was particularly significant as it marked one of the final appearances of Blaze Bayley as the band’s lead vocalist, following the release of their album 'Virtual XI' in 1998. Though 'Virtual XI' received mixed reviews, the live shows revitalized the band's output, with Blaze's unique vocal style earning respect on stage. Interestingly, this performance came just before Bruce Dickinson's return to the band, making it a poignant chapter in Iron Maiden's storied history. Despite the divided opinions on Blaze's tenure, this concert showcased the band's dedication and energy, captivating a passionate Brazilian audience.
