Iron Maiden Performance of The Wicker Man at Stockholms stadion in 2000
On June 27, 2000, Iron Maiden rocked Stockholms Stadion in Sweden, treating fans to a live performance during their 'Brave New World' Tour. This album, released in 2000, marked a pivotal return for the band, featuring classic tracks like 'The Wicker Man' and 'Blood Brothers.' It's interesting to note that this was their first studio album with lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith back in the fold after a decade-long absence, which certainly energized the band's dynamic. The live recording captures the thrilling atmosphere of a band re-energized and ready to reclaim their place in the heavy metal world. Just imagine the anticipation and excitement surging through that stadium as fans experienced the iconic band's comeback firsthand. The VHS transfer, done in 2021, preserved this electrifying moment in Maiden's storied history.
