Iron Maiden

In September 1999, Iron Maiden delivered a powerful performance at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, during their "Virtual XI" tour. The live recording captures a pivotal moment for the band, as it followed their album "Virtual XI," released earlier that year. This record marked an interesting phase for the band, as it was the second album to feature vocalist Blaze Bayley, who took the reins in the mid-'90s, following the departure of the iconic Bruce Dickinson. While the album received mixed reviews, the live shows during this era were a testament to Iron Maiden's unwavering energy and dedication to their fans. The band's commitment to electrifying performances shines through, proving that even in transitional phases, their passion for heavy metal remains alive and kicking. Plus, the Paris show was part of a wider European tour, showcasing their ability to unite fans across borders through their legendary music.
