Iron Maiden performs Children of the Damned at Brixton Academy
In March 2002, Iron Maiden performed 'Children of the Damned' during their show at Top of the Pops in London as part of the iconic 'Brave New World Tour.' Prior to this, they released the album 'Brave New World' in 2000, marking a significant comeback with vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith rejoining after years away from the band. This album revitalized their sound and brought in a new generation of fans. Iron Maiden infused the live performance with high energy and theatricality, showcasing their signature blend of heavy metal riffs and lyrical storytelling. Interestingly, 'Children of the Damned' is a classic track from their earlier album, 'Piece of Mind,' released in 1983, which ties back to their rich history even while they were on a modern tour.
