Iron Maiden

In June 2005, Iron Maiden was riding high on the waves of their comeback, featuring their album 'Dance of Death' released the previous year, which showcased a blend of classic heavy metal with more progressive elements. The live performance of 'The Ides of March' at Rock am Ring was a nod to their iconic sound, serving as an intro that sets an electrifying tone for the concert. Notably, this era saw Iron Maiden thriving, with a resurgence of fan interest thanks to their dynamic live shows and new material. Despite some favorites like 'Murders in Rue Morgue' and 'Prowler' being absent from this particular setlist, the band maintained their reputation for delivering powerful performances, proving they were far from slowing down. The energy they brought to the stage illuminated their dedication to fans and the raw emotion that drives their music.
